I don’t know if this is true, but did kiku change in .34? Because I’m running the Velvet Pawed path and haven’t gotten Animate Dead (which I though was 50%) ELEVEN games in a row. (May have miscounted)
git commit history doesn’t seem to show such a thing searching for “kiku” and “animate dead”, and this is still here https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/0f3b0f9dcbf5af352e9a245381e035645059a3d4/crawl-ref/source/religion.cc#L1526, so you’re probably simply unlucky here :x
