Since you're more dependent on indy mages to get the magic research going, I'd advise choosing a cheaper castle (300-450) since you want to protect them more. And if you're using mainly longbows for defence, pick one with walls and a gate. A cheap catle goes well with cheap temples BTW. My favorite with LOTT is the Wizard Tower, but it's expensive.

I was originally going to go with the Mausoleum, with that cheap castle + cheap temple concept in mind. However, I got some good advice that warned me off the Mausoleum (too flimsy) so I switched my plan over to a more solid fortification with tower guard/longbowman garrisons. I seriously considered the Hill Fort despite the low admin, as I was under the (incorrect?) impression that its arrow towers would fire as longbows when controlled by Man. I really like the Wizard Tower, but the Tuatha theme is already short on design points. Hmm, decisions, decisions...

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
