The only way I can think of to do what you are suggesting would be to create a mod. In the mod you would change the unit stats (stats, starting equipment, special abilities, magic paths and levels, ...) for some of the Pretenders to be in line with the power level you wanted. Baseline Pretenders are simply defined as regular units and can be modded just like regular units (well, actually like special units since some commands only work, I believe, with Pretenders).

Modding all of the Pretenders would be a large amount of work, so you would probably just want to know which Pretenders people were going to play and just change those. Also, you probably wouldn't want to do it with AI players since they might not pick the modded Pretenders creating a serious power imbalance.
