Maybe so, in which case I'd say add a sage, or some like research type commander to LoT's available commander list.

Keep in mind that the change would also effct base Man, thus keeping about the same balance between the themes.

I'm aware of that but this is not an issue, since base Man already has a researcher that is better than the sage (Daughter of Avalon).

While Tuatha is not a very strong theme, there are still some good reasons to chose it over base. Compare that to Barbarian Kings, and it looks very well off.

Saying that there are other themes that are worse off is hardly a reason not to improve this theme, especially if the improvement is easy, low risk, and does not introduce difficult balance issues.

Actually, it would still effect base man quite a bit. The Sages would be better reseachers than daughters in the early turns, in addition they would be non-capital only and provide a cheap random. I would say almost any nation with unrestricted sages (meaning at every fort) would need some very serious drawbacks to be balanced. Also, I can't say adding Sages seems very thematic (not exactly un-thematic either, I suppose).
