How am I getting four promotion Apostles?

[Miserable Old Git]

In my current game, I'm going for a religious victory as the Aztecs, and have captured Sydney. I have Mont St Michel, and have moved fully promoted Moshka to Sydney, so each turn I should be able to buy two apostles with three promotions (Martyr from Mont St Michel, and I add Orator and Translator for maximal conversion power). However - and I've never seen this before and didn't believe it possible - these apostles get four promotions (so I add Debater, to be good on attack/defence as well as conversion). In all other cities, my new apostles get the standard three promotions. I was unaware that four promotions was legally possible (see, for example, https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Apostle_(Civ6)?so=search).

How is this possible? Is it a bug, a hidden "feature", or am I missing something?

Are you in a Golden Age with Exodus of the Evangelists?

Edit: sorry no that's charges not promotions.

 

[Noble Zarkon]

What religious building do you have? I think 4 is legal - base, Moshka, Mt St Michel and Mosque.

 

[Miserable Old Git]

Mosque is an extra charge, not a promotion.

Argh keep mixing them up lol.

There's no way that I know of in the game to get 4 with the base rule set (that is, the officially released DLC). You can get extra charges, but extra promotions are capped at 3. Martyr from Mont St Michel, then two more from training in a city with Moksha with the right upgrade active. Either something's buggy or you've got a mod that's making that possible?

 

[Miserable Old Git]

No mods. I strongly suspect a bug, though I've never seen this before and I play a lot.

In all other cities, my new apostles get the standard three promotions.

Is this cities that you've moved Moksha into, or just all of your cities are getting apostles with 3 promotions?

 

[Miserable Old Git]

It's something with this particular city. All cities get 2 promotions (Mont St Michel, plus 1), all other cities with Moshka get 3, but Sydney (and only Sydney) with Moshka gets 4.

I haven't chacked if Sydney without Moshka gets 2 or 3, and can't check now as the game is over and I've started a different one.

Weird, haven't seen this before. Proselytizer + Translator + Pilgrim would make for a pretty wicked combo for religious victory.

Could be a bug with the combat experience somewhere. Apostles start with enough combat experience just to get their initial promotion, so maybe there's some percentage modifiers at play here giving them enough XP for a second level.

Dunno if it's related (it shouldn't be), but did you by any chance build the Terracotta Army?

 

[tedhebert]

Are you positive you are NOT using the Knights of Solomon secret society MOD ?

 

[Miserable Old Git]

Not built Terracotta (not one I ever go for). Not using secret societies, only mods are tech & civic shuffle, monopolies & corporations, and barbarian clans.
