I'm rather Dormant, as it gives approx the points we used to get in Dom2 !
That's not a good rationale though, so there are others :
- unless you want/need an early SC, Awake gives you a rather weak pretender and/or scales.
- Dormant gives +150 points and you'll have your pretender in 10-14 turns, so still in early game.
- OTOH If you go Imprisoned you get only 100 more points, and won't get him before 35-40 turns, that's looong, and unless you go for a really big bless you can go without...
