but i think it' ok:
1,only ONE commander can be recruit per round. you choose saga,then you needs to give up priest/army leader/battlemage as well

In the start of the game you don't need many commanders to move your troops, so sages are a real advantage, that nobody other than Ulm has the equivalent of in a drain 3 dominion.

2,this race,with a rainbow gem-income "1A 1F 1W 1E 1N",worse than other nations at rituals,so a startup research bonus is unlikely to become too crazy

You are forgetting the site searching spells. With 2 in an elemental magic and a basic gem income in that path, you can find more sites very quickly.
