Then he just utterly wasted 1200 gold for 50 slaves, and 50 armorless warriors. You should be able to rout them with minor battlefield spells and about 20 heavy infantry.

choke points are a major advantage.

I take it you don't play with flying troops much. They can completely bypass choke points.

we push through land like nothing to get to these, and send out searchers behind. we dont seem to do much magic study untill we find a sage magic site, or if we have cheap researchers. after gaining control of major points and feel sucure, we will get other units to capture the land we skipped. no time for making temples, unless they are worth 100gp (man/pang) untill we got the map tied up.

Sounds like you're asking to have your empire beaten down by someone who concentrates on fast expansion along with a massive research push and maintaining your dominion.
