Shamen are still cheap good researchers at 4 RP/turn.

Empoisoner + LK is 390 gold, so you'll only have maybe 110 to spend on troops in the first couple turns, that's 11 LI...

That's ~50 LI after 3 turns. Just ran a 5-turn test to check, had just 50 to attack in turn 4. The dominion got a nice boost in turn 2, though (+3). Reached 6 in turn 4. You can get a bit more LIs with a fortified city (a good castle to have if you're a Swamp Guard addict).
