I still want most of the dwarves to be recruited in the normal fashion though and I'm pretty much against free summons that are powerfull since I think balance will be very hard end game.

It would've been great if it could be possible to have the need to unlock (search for) a site with a certain pretender to be able to use your powerfull units. Can it really not be done?

Or can it not be done to start without a temple.. without a starting temple you definately can never get your priest units reliably if you don't take a pretender with holy skills (and they don't exist except for the ones I'll be creating.)

Or just leave out the starting castle itself and raise a unique castle (can you have unique castles?) it with a cheap 1 E gem spell.
