Re: Hall of Doh!
I just don't see how the benefits could possibly ever outweigh the risks.
Positives - Slightly accelerated start that may net you an extra 2-3 provinces after one year.
Negatives - Dead Pretender, and game over (with regards any chance of actually winning).
That is just not a level scale in my books. To me it's the worst possible version of "Win or Bust". As it's not "Win or Bust" at all. It's "Be a bit better off or Bust, which is just a purely crazy gamble in my books.
Never forget that there are countless nasty Indies lying in wait on land, and the water has wailing ladies. And those will kill a Kraken easily from tests I did with a game I took a Dom10 Kraken in.
For me at least, there is not a single Pretender build that I'd attack blind with. The risk reward is just nowhere near viable enough.
