Pretender, awake, dormant or imprisoned?

[Agrajag]

(From my impressions from the demo)
Awake is obviously for SC pretenders, or pretenders that are essential early on (Such as what I've been told about LE Ermor).
Dormant is for anything that isn't vital in the very first turns, this probably means you could dormant a rainbow mage, or a mage based SC, it could also be used for balanced pretenders like in Dom2.
Imprisoned is imo mainly for blesses and squizing a bit of extra scales (if those +100 points make the difference between no magic scale and magic-3, you will probably have better research with the scales over those 20 turns than the pretender itself will net you, for example). I think it would work really well with bless pretenders, because by the time the pretender escapes, you will have researched all the way to the sophisticated spells that could use 9 in a single path.

So far in the demo I'm having a lot of fun with Imprisoned pretender with high blesses and great scales and relying mostly on my nationals.
