I'm sure this has been done to death before. Finding the thread though, that's tough.
I'm intrested in general discussion of the pretender chasis, setting the scales, and custom equiping. I'm really intrested in, how to use an immobile pretender.
Boron, I hope you or another strategy guide person will include some info on this.
What about the various humans? I've used the Sorceres occasionally for a cheap rainbow w/ added pearls. The sage makes sense for quick research. I've tried the druid to generate Vine stuff in SP but find, if he just hangs around, he's worth more as research. Has there been a discussion of these folks?
The discussion of special pretenders at: http://www.freewebs.com/dominions2/ in the guides, is great. I'm looking for that w/ normal pretenders.

wow 2 days almost away and so much action on the board
@rylen my pretender guide is about 2/3 finished .
my favourite pretenders at the moment are :
-for blessing i find the f9 bless most useful because it is good and you get it so cheap with the moloch

with fire darts + some troops to prevent rout he can kill indies quite well too
-as ulm the master alchemist he is the best rainbow (doubled benefits from alchemy) and ulm can afford . with all other nations i take rainbows only in sp
-vq in lots of variations she is still a very good sc and you don't need to care if she dies

midgame she becomes forger/caster ...
-pod as a cheaper but not immortal sc .
someone mentioned the scorpionking before : if you give him earth 4 + fire 4 and search with him e.g. as abysia it will boost your earlygame income great

for this he is the cheapest pretender + he is ok as sc .
imo mainly though a cheap pretender for early money advantage + lots of scales .
