I didn't choose any in the first section, because I don't find any of those things essential when designing a pretender.

I sort of agree. It heavily depends on what nation you're using and the settings. With a nation like Mictlan that takes a while to get going, I like to use a SC to speed expansion up a bit. A nation like Abysia with strong starting troops can get by with a lesser pretender and heavy scales and maybe just take something to forge a hammer for soul contracts. Also, smaller maps favor SCs, and larger maps favor scales. If two pretenders with little in common can both succeed, obviously there isn't much that's [i]essential[/b]. There are a few things that I pick more often than not, but nothing that I really feel is always necessary.
