EA Vanheim build order and long term strat

[Viajero]

Was browsing through the strategy threads and found some info on Vanheim but nothing specific regarding proposed build orders in the first turns to get the machine going and/or medium/long term priorities etc. Have not used this nation at all so any advice on any of the below is appreciated:

1)Pretender build recommendations, bless vs rainbow.
2)Typical build order for the first 5 to 10 turns
3)Which sacred units/commanders are most effective?
4)What spells are research priority for Helheim? what to aim for in mid game.
5)What are the best thugging options? death? I ve read that in EA most nations have recruitable SC but Vanheim does not, how does Vanheim counter this?
6)Does it have any kind of end-game strategy?

Thanks,
