I don't think crud troops help. Decoy commmanders help against assassination spells but not against spells that target all troops, and having more troops just means that more will be hit, right?

That depends on what you're padding against. Against Fires from Afar, it's very effective, because that spell has a limited number of effects. Against Murdering Winter or FftS it's just more meat for the barbecue because they target a percentage of units in target province rather than a fixed number.
I have some fond memories of one of my two Dom2 MP games when I found Thufir's main research/hoarding center and dropped 4xFFTS and 10xFires from Afar plus some seeking arrows and a few earth attacks on it. He was not amused. As to how I got the gems, having Eternal Pyre cast at base fire gem income 40 and going for 30 turns gave me more than enough to go around...
