Pretender, awake, dormant or imprisoned?

I prefer Dormant as well... Imprisoned isn't worth the extra points unless you have some special bless strategy planned.

Or if you play long huge games where there is no real rush to get your pretenders. Or you play heavy bless strategy (W9E9N4 pretender for EA Agartha, for example). Or you make pretender who will be all scales and support (research, summoning, forging) and those 100 points mean extra 2 scales and magic level or two.

I play like a turtle, and I prefer imprisoned.

For my R'Lyeh Kraken I can put 6 in air and 5 in water and +3 on luck and magic.

In my extensive experience of 2 games it works pretty well.
