also, is it possible to unlock more pretender gods?
I hope you don't mind if i add more ideas later. and if you start an MP game with this (after the 25th) count me in in advance

Cheers mate!
I intended to not even have a Priest nor a spy to start with. It seems that if you don't specify a couple of starters in a mod you are automatically asigned these guys. I though they were quite cool - a spy to get up to stealthy mischief and a priest to get up some temples.
I suppose you could give the mage a try - set it up as an unrecruitable starting unit so you can begin alchemizing gems to empower the indi commanders/what have you, in magic.
I wanted there to be a little sting in not taking an awake pretender. Having an asleep one gives you a good bless and with the easy access to the blessed light - it is quite powerful.
If you take an asleep pretender it is 8 turns before you can start getting your magic industries moving. It seemed to me to heighten the viability of an awake pretender - therefore creating an important initial decision. Once your pretender wakes up though, with easy research, things begin to move along at a good clip.
It is my intention to add more summons. I would like to include national units like Burning ones and Van Jarls etc etc. What would you like in there? The trick is of course to get the costs right.
I also though the other pretender chassis would make good unique summons and was going to add them in this way.
It would be great to get any input FL, so fire away.
I’ll let you know when its MP time – not for a couple of weeks yet
