[Shovah32]

Try a sleeping, dom5 divine emperor with e3s5d3n5. It gives you good access to death, earth and nature which your nation lacks aswell as a decent researcher and astral mage. For scales try:
turmoil3 prod1 growth2(maybe growth1 magic1) luck3.

Early game expand with your strong national troops and good indies while you research alteration and thaumaturgy. Early into the mid game start sending some lesser mages along to buff your best units(knights, emerald guard ect) with body ethereal, luck and maybe quickness. Later into the mid-game add some soul slaying communion groups into the mix along with some summons, possibly including national harbingers. Late game you will need more of what you had in the mid-game, add in tougher and more versatile units if possible aswell as some thugs and SC's, decently equipped angels of fury are great with armies for support or solo/in groups(blood vengance rocks).
