Hi, what a wonderful and simple mod!
I've always been looking for a way to upgrade regular units to Pretenders or to select regular units/heroes as Pretenders.

Thanks! ;)

Doesn't seem to work with Pretenders that can shapechange. Is there a fix, or does in need to be typed a specific way to work?

Hey how do you do this with modded pretenders? or is it not possible?

adding #ainorec works to keep the AI from using the modified unit.

You should be able to buff any (player) pretender paths after game start with events without anyone manually editing anything, but this will not effect available blessings.

Very nice. I figure if I just use it for a hero unit that spawns for the empire I use It ought not to be too much of a problem. Thanks for the update

@Grok: I made a new version that allows you to do that. Any unit ID you enter will become a pretender and can be chosen by any nation. Heroes, regular units, whatever.

Bear in mind that choosing a commander or hero will also give regular copies of that commander/hero 10 in all magic paths and the associated bonuses (does not happen to regular units). So if one of the other nations in your game has access to your selected commander, you might be in trouble.

Is it possible to use this mod with any unit? Could I use a hero units I.D. and create a pretender out of a hero unit?
