Can you no longer recruit Plague Priests as Skaven?
I don't see any faction that has Hero buttons to recruit them - including Skrolk, who starts with Plague Priests. All I see are buttons to recruit the other 3 Heroes: Assassin, Sorcerer, and Warlock Engineer. What's going on?

All Skaven factions can recruit them with a Pox Cauldron.

I don't see a button for them on the Recruit Hero tab though. Does one appear when you construct a Pox Cauldron? It's been a while since I played Skaven ;)

I assume they are in the sorcerer category together with the eshin one.

That was indeed the case. Constructing a Pox Cauldron enabled me to recruit both Sorcerers and Plague Priests - but the tab only showed Sorcerers. So a misleading tab.

Not at all misleading. They simply ended up grouping similar types of heroes and lords in the same tab in the last update, probably to make things more clear. Both are specialized casters that would be considered sorcerers. The engineer and assassin are completely different with a different function and are therefore in their own categories.

Spellcasters are grouped under the same tab for all other factions. It'd be misleading to do it differently for Skaven.

Didn't realize. This is the first time I've ran into this issue/confusion.
