Lazy, I think you just make the weakest guy possible and some-one elses is picked for you . The mage-like pretenders have low dom and must spend alot to get high in a particular path and are pretty useless in combat to boot so they will probably be popular.

I've been answering people's questions by changing the text of the original post . So reread it if something didn't make sense, because I probably changed the text.

Go ahead and post descriptions, yeah.

Count me in on this one, Doc. This sounds like fun.

The pretender I made is for LA Pangea:

Crone:
Magic: F2A3W3E3S2D1
Dominion: Str:7, Trm2, Prod2, Dth3, Mgc3

Is this not flawed enough?

Sounds fun, but I think I'll pass. I'll try to give nations with problems my attention and not just play away for fun

Sorry, but doesn't LA Pangaea have access to D2 mages?

Going for old age, it really would be best to give her to a nation that will have trouble forging a Skull Staff. It just wouldn't be right to have her cast TwiceBorn and come back as a wight mage.

Maybe give her lots of fire, and hand her off to abysia. The nation where no mage lives. Though blood gets in the way there as well. We don't want no stinking boots of youth.

You may want to restrict any pretender made for LA Ermor. A pretender without death 3 would be impossible no? For that matter you could pump all points into growth 3, production 3 magic 2. low dominion -- LA Ermor would be eviscerated.

I may avoid using LA Ermor pretenders, or put additional restrictions on them, yes.

However, it is possible to empower your way up the death scale with the income out of your fort. Would it suck? Yes. Could you manage anyway? Maybe.
