Er - how often does Wish get cast except by Astral Pretenders?

Otoh, I rarely, if ever, take astral on a pretender (of course I don't play Ermor, either).

I've taken Astral on the pretender several times now, on purpose despite knowing "Never put astral on your pretender".
I'll often put it on an immortal (liches and phoenix) since it isn't as much of a liability there.
I've also been asked, "What is Astral doing on your Ghost King???"
On a large map (one of the Cradle Versions), I figured my GK could easily avoid astral assassins, and would otherwise only be in danger if the home castle was endangered (scripting the recall spell).
Pretty fun, and successful - forged the Forbidden Light, and will soon be casting my very first Wishes, if the game goes on long enough (most players have gone AI, and Norfleet's abandoned Caelum have been trampling some other players).
Really made a difference for a nation that otherwise doesn't get astral - Vanheim's Helheim theme.
