Interesting conclusion, Arralen. A radically different conclusion might be: "In pretender design, EA and LA Mictlan AIs should always choose an awake pretender with a decent strength of dominion"

After all, that would have the effect desired: more and better dominion checks in the home province in the early game for Mictlan, thus preventing dominion-death, and it would have that effect without changing any rules whatsoever but just adding a few guidance rules to the AIs pretender design.

(More generally, if it was possible to set "guidance rules" for pretender design on a nation basis and made possible to mod this, we'd probably end up with much more capable AIs in general than we have now)

Combine this with "Mictlan is specifically designed for big bless effects - and suck without it" and what do you have ? A contradiction !! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]
