I'd like to know how I'm doing pretender-wise myself, but the patch isn't out yet.

Who will do well?

Someone who has a race that kicks butt in the early game, like Mictlan, or a race that gets a good starting position.
and by a good starting position i mean you are surrounded by unaggressive players that allow you to expand at your leisure.

Who will not do well? Races with imprisoned Pretenders, but no bless, that start out next to a strong player that has a good rush strategy and no mercy.

Wouldn't be that absolute. For instance, in previous megagame Midgård did quite strongly with imprisoned pretender without bless, until getting his butt handed to him by Man played with a sage pretender.

Luckily Dominions isn't that clear-cut a game. That's not to say bless-rushers wouldn't have advantage early on, though.
