I created the Pretenders for the Sentient Machines game, and all it involved (IIRC) was modding the base magic paths on the various Pretenders that the player chose to allow them the build the Pretenders the AI designed.

So if you want super-powerful Pretenders, then just create a mod that gives all the Pretenders 9 in every path (or however powerful you want them). And if you want AI nations, then probably best to just start them in the game as a human player, and then set them AI on turn 1. (although the AI will be normal in this case, rather than impossible)
