Any suggestions out their form you hardened veterans would be appreciated.
1)Pretender Choice?
2)Scales/Dominion
3)Fortress Type?
4)Magic Choices?

Any other in-game tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have been having fun with the following settings as asked by you.
1)Lord of Night: Air 4, Earth 4, Death 4, and Blood 5
2)Turmoil 3, Sloth 3, Heat 3, Growth 3 Luck 3, Magic 3
3)I use the normal starting fortress because it is cheap and quick to build so I can protect blood hunters and sacrificers.
4)By this do you mean choices on the pretender or research strategies?

Any questions about my choices please ask and I will elaborate on them or you can try it out and see for yourself if it fits your style. It is geared for never using national troops and generating income from rich provinces and converting gems to money as needed. Lord of Night is chosen to sneak nearest high population province by second turn and start assassinating commanders. I then use scouts on retreat to attack the province twice; once to see how many commanders exactly I need to assassinate and then second to take over the province on the Last assassination attempt since the attempt will take place before normal combat. Assassinations are slow going so any cutting on time corners is essential. I then do a search with the Lord and move on the next province and repeat. While this is going on I will alternate researching and summoning fiends till I have about 9-12 and start taking other independent provinces with them lead by my prophet high priest who can do fire searches for more money producing fire gem sites. Any other questions then let me know.
