it's just untrue : presence of the pretender raises faith (dominion) and this dominion makes the province tilt stowards the pretender's scales, so people work harder if it is order or productivity, are more healthy if it's Growth, get cold if it's cold and die more if it's Death  !
This suits me perfectly. I like the idea that the Pretender is a godlike being not even bothering himself with unrest and not a kind of awe-inspiring sherif making the brigands surrender arms and going back to their fields. That's what good admin (low taxes) or patrollers are for.
Maybe I'm more clear now ?

I think PDF is making a good point here. From thematical point of view, it may be more interesting to have have priests powers increased when the god-pretender is in the same province - for example, priest level for preaching purposes could be raised by 1. Intuitively, it seems that ability to demonstrate the god would simplify the task of preaching (unless the god is hiding, I suppose). From tactical point of view it may be interesting to raise priest levels for the purpose of combat casting if the god is participating - it can make a big difference vs undead.
