		 We are pleased to report a victory against the monkeys on several fronts. His remaining force of elephants is about to be cut off and exterminated, and C'tis has wisely run away with his proverbial tail between his legs. His God cannot get home his capital before I siege it. 
 
 Given our successes thus far, we consider withdrawing our offer of surrender terms - but will let it stand a bit longer.

		I'm going to stop you still if you move closer to my capitol 
 
so let's see who's retreating next turn.. I have 19 elephants and some archers and just bought me a very expensive mage...and got some nice research going on.. 
 
I think some troops will not like it

		Pythium reports are in. Ermor is apparently sending several armies south in an attempt to relieve Agarthan lands of the scourge of Doctor Death. Agartha seems unable to defend itself without them. So be it then. The good Doctor commands the dead... they cannot fight against him. He will stop them in their tracks.

		The damned march North, South, East and West in numbers without end.  Self styled Princes of Death spring like weeds in our path as death itself is loosed on the world.  The throne of bones grows with each of you I consume, and think not that your dominion includes my subjects for my will is absolute.  You shall all be my subjects eventually, even if you should win today.  The patience of the grave is absolute as well.

		I was recommended by my fellow team member QM to try an abuse build pretender (PoD) to get a picture of how unbalanced things are. 
I'm quite happy to agree that it is ridiculously powerful/useful.
 
Baalz: Seems you have met other PoD's. I'm a bit curious how common they are, in this game, but particularly in games in general. I need me a nerf. 
 
If people are uncomfortable with revealing their gods just tell me an approximation of PoD percentage in MP games.
 
I think these MP's are good for me and balance in general

		Well, out of what, a couple hundred pretender chaises available there are probably a dozen to twenty that are almost always picked by experienced players in my experience.  Out of those there are a handful that are *very* commonly used because they're seen as being much more powerful than the others.  I'd say probably 30-40% of the time I fight an experienced player they've got one of the following:  
 
Prince of Death 
Wyrm 
Cyclops 
some flavor of lich  
 
The reason these are so popular is because they're capable of expanding aggressively early with very little/no equipment/buffing, capably supporting/defending an early rush, keeping relevance into late game as you start adding buffs/equipment, and are fairly cheap.
