More the one god for a nations ?

You can save them, but after I make them, I generally forget exactly what stats they have anyway.

How about a third party, or even a first party(Hey Kris, Johan and gang!) Pretender viewer, and a Pretender selector screen. Could have the viewer aim for the newlords file, and show what the pretender has for stats/castle/dominion, and use that same file to pull which one you want to start the new game with.
