Re: What counts as Golem Cult?
Disagree.
Agartha requires mages to do its heavy lifting, whether it be summoning using all those national "summon only one unit per casting" summons or battlefield blammage dutes. This in addition that if you want to get most out of your mages you need to research about six circles. So, lots of forts and mages required.
The other side of the coin is that due to summons, Agartha can't exclusively concentrate on high-income provinces. A good mix of income and gems would be best.
But yes, given your early-game weakness, being really diplomatically flexible might be necessary in order to survive.
