Why not buy more forts and labs, so you can spend the extra gold on mages? This is what is typically done in multiplayer.

I already have over a dozen mages. More just aren't worth the bother as they don't survive combat, I have a 3:1 margin of research on the #2 AI, and I'm limited by my gem income. I've been spending some on temples, but I get the gold faster than I can move my priests to build more temples where they'll do some good. Such is the "price" of expanding rapidly via conquest. hehe
Guess I may have to just start building temples everywhere.

By the way, many of the strategies people are fond of for multiplayer aren't significant for those of us playing solo ...
