Map editor question

Is it possible to make preset pretenders for nations in your maps?
If so, can you make so that when AI plays the nation, it uses the custom pretender, but when you play the nation, you can make your own pretender for it?

you can do that already in doms I. But if a pretender is hardwired, I think youll get it as a human player too.

For example if you play Elric map (shameless plug) then Abysia is acting as Melnibonee and his god is Arioch, an Arch Devil as pretender, full of items and nasty on magic.

Hmmmmm...
I wonder if this has changed in Dominions II...

A map with about half nations set to computer play migth be bit too much...

However if so, i can make some quite sick desing combos....
Mmmmmm, Belphegor Pretender...

Also, is there are list of magic sites somewhere in the editor?

Also, can you set the "indies" to do something else than patrol, like half of the forces to patrol and another half to guard a castle.
To that extent, can we have independent sieges?

in dominions I, and as of now in dominions II, indeps are always inside the castle.
