Pretenderes PRETEND, so how are they supposed to believe they are the god? I'm not counting in Wyrm or Ettin, or Hydra, or other multi-headed things... But sacred units should become blessed when they fight with their god, and the death of the army's god should affect it too.

They don't die. They can be called back by priests.

If you want to put more penalty on pretender death for sake of game mechanisms, it's fine. But "realistically", any pretender death can be simply explained to the believers that it's just the perishment of a physical form of the god, and the subsequent reincarnation is a sign of the greatness of his/her/its power. There is no need to complicate things unless there is a reason for game balance.
