What is the easiest/ preferred / best way to declare a nation-specific pretender/ monster for more than one, but not all, nations? Particularly relevant if you want to create a pretender for all ages of a given nation.

Method A: Define once, then "copystats" that pretender multiple times (inelegant).

Method B: Completely define the pretender from scratch each time (very inelegant).

Method C: Define once, but declare multiple "restrictedgods" (I don't think this even works)

Somebody must have an opinion on this one! Currently I'm using "Method A" in my mod.

I tried using the same unit/monster number for a pretender, repeated three times (once for each age) on the premise that no game would ever have the same number more than once, but that just caused errors.

Method A, AFAIK.

To be honest I don't even add pretenders for my nations unless I made new ones. The current method (A) is simply annoying to me and something I'd like to see the devs change.
