Maybe you are anxious for the randoms. They come eventually and in every test game I played i got the national heros who come with nice paths that you lack of. First will be conquer and second magic.

Money: comes from provinces and not froms scales, more provices=more gold.
If you dont believe me just play a test game.

Besides you get more income and free mages with turmoil+luck. You dont have to use my build if you dont like it. In my recent game with Arcoscephale i used a Wyrm with turmoil+luck and I was the leader in gold for a good while. EA Arco has much worse troops than EA Ulm.
