Not so much. They were made over on the SA (Something Aweful) forums. I don't know if you know that site, but they have one giant thread for each specific game, so everything dominions related, whether it's game talk, strategy talk, mod talk and anything else is in the same huge thread. It terrifies me to be honest. So the discussion about these mods is undoubtedly in there somewhere, but good luck finding it.

But as I said, the mods have extensive readme's.I suppose I can copy/paste them here. Best read from the bottom up, the most recent changes are on top. (Though apparently the AwesomeGods mods start from version 1.3, so you can't read the earliest changes. In any case, the pretender changes can all be seen and tested during pretender design, so that's not too big of a problem I think.)
