Making the Armageddon God

Basically the idea is to take -3 in every scale, buy the cheapest castle you can, and pour all your points into magic for your Pretender. Making him/her/it so powerful he shatters alternate dimensions every time he moves.

So, you are describing the standard undead Ermor pretender. I have not heard of anybody using such a pretender for other nations than Ermor, but for Ermor, everybody does it. (With possible variance in the luck and magic scale depending on taste and whether you play Ashen Empire or Soul Gate)

In my first MP game as Ermor, I ran with "Darkbringer, Goddess of Dark Magics, Lady of Ashes, She Who Opened the Box of Woe, The Adversary, the Everburning One", who was a Lich Queen with Soul Gate, dominion 10, an Ermorian Citadel, Scales -3/-3/-3/-3/-3/+3, and Fire 4, Air 3, Water 3, Earth 3, Death 9, Nature 3.

(We were playing on a fairly small map, so it was important to get a dominant dominion that would fight the opposition right from the start)
