New Pretenders?

[Mortifer]

That Ancient Lord will be useful if you can add it yourself, if you want.
Player ideas can be good, that is true, but I dont think that a pretender will help to Illwinter in anything.

Heh. I wish. A French keyboard? In my dreams. As it stands, I have to memorize obscure keystroke combos (like Alt-133) on my Yankee keyboard, if'ins I don't wanna to be constently calling up the system character map...

Oh, in this case you really deserves my respects ! First time I ever see a yank not only perfectly writing French with all our "accents", but also typing with those Alt-combos no French ever succeeded in memorizing !
Kudos Sir !

Yes, well, thanks; it's nice to think I can write well in at least one language. Ye gods! I thought I'd been bad when I noticed that I'd used "indeed" in two sentences running in my first post in this thread, but man! You'd not know I'm an anglophone from looking at that Last post. "Wanna to be"?

Eh, I'm American, so I'll indulge in my cultural entitlement to blame this stellar witlessness on my blond hair...

(That, or my charming habit of revising what I'm writing halfway through, but only changing a portion of a given phrase...)

he can add him as a non recruitable monster if he wants, as dom allows to create new units already. And then he will do a map to play with...

I don't want to make maps with unplayable nations due my 1337 tweaks. And no, it doesn't have to be unplayable, but you are stuck with that pretender. What if someone wants to play non-CW Pangaea with Lord of the Wild? I don't like maps that stuff the mapmakers choices down the players throat. Thats why i would like to see ability to make preset but not hard-coded pretenders in custom maps.

And i posted something constructive in the modding thread, so please, would increasing the cost of new magic picks to 40 balance Ancient Lord at all?
