The bugbears:
- Defending unfortified provinces from raids is too hard.
Solution: Initiative system for movement.
- Defending from raids using castles is too easy.
Solution: Castle speedbump effect removed.

These two contradict one another. On the one hand, you imply raiding is too powerful, and on the other hand, you want to make it more powerful.
The first one I think could use some improvement - random movement sequence would fix this.
The second one is insane. Fortifications are _supposed_ to provide defense from raids, that's one reason they were built all over most of the world. The idea of an army being able to come zooming right in, and in less than a month travel, siege, and storm is .... Well, I already used the word insane. Albeit it
might be acceptable for mausoleums / watchtowers, which really aren't proper fortifications.

Solution: Planar sickness.

Your "solution" simply makes combat teleportation unusable for many units, while once again allowing the Sphinx to plop right down on an enemy capital, easily surviving the couple of turns it takes to regain consciousness before casting fire shield, astral shield, etc, and winning. You also don't mention why cloud trapeze should have "planar sickness", since it doesn't involve plane shifting. Or why flying units shouldn't have "air sickness".
