Sounds pretty bad actually - everyone would pile 90% of their points into the Pretender.

Maybe a mod game where national heros are buffed by 2-3x each.

Ah, I forgot to add, only starting paths of magic on pretenders. As far as similar commanders, as long as there is some difference, it should be fine.

I don't think you'd have enough commanders to lead the troops, with only one of each type, especially if your nation doesn't really have that much variety in commanders. I'm not even sure this is playable.

Blood owns. On maps like this. The world is poor making troops expesnive and no one else has gems.

They will be a little hard to lead, but blood just happens to have quite a few leaders!

There will be huge problems with getting blood slaves if you can only have one of each kind of commander.

I think Mictlan has the biggest advantage here since they have so many different varieties of blood priests, and thus have the most units capable of bloodhunting, if you can only have one of each of them.

I think this is still incredibly silly, though.

With idependants and leadership items, I cerainly don't think it is unplayable. A challenge, true, but that's the point.
