Thanks for the clarification.
Map commands can't affect the awake/dormant/imprisoned status of the pretender AFAIK, so that won't change from what your original design set it to.
I'll have to see if the map-command created pretenders will be downgraded or if they are just reported. I hope they aren't downgraded, because that'd make it harder to play special scenarios like the Black Coven from the first Dominions.
P.S. I almost wrote "EA Dominions" in there.
