my pretender -- vanished!?!?

Try pressing N to cycle through commanders (if you haven't already).. if he's not actually dead (no cross next to his name in the hall of fame and no ability to call god with your priests) and N doesn't eventually cycle round to him, sounds like a bug.

On the same note, if you don't have any priests to "call god" you will lose...POOF! If you are using your Pretender aggressively you need to make sure you got his back covered as far as dominion goes so he can retreat. That won't save you from assassins though but you'll have an edge in "your" dominion

. The "N" key is invaluable

It also helps if your pretender has the Immortal attribute and you fight in your own Dominion: "You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I'll just come back and pick up all my stuff."

No, like I said, I pressed "n", I cant "call God", he DIDNT DIE (still alive in the Hall of Fame), and ALL of the surrounding provinces were friendly.
The computer apparently thought I wanted to attack, it didnt say "XX was discovered", but rather "we failed to conquer the independent province".
He's dissapeared, not dead. What the hell?

Just a thought: make a backup of the game folder, then go back in the game and host the turn. Can you call your god on the subsequent turn? Maybe the game didn't register it as he only just died? I think something like that happens with the prophet as well, but I forget whther it's the same with pretenders.
