Played this a bit, first game about 40 turns in:

First time I've ever used Ashaic record frequently, found a 20% conj site and really like it (although hugely expensive). It does my site-searching obsessive tendencies well to see all the little boxes checked.

Golem and lions are crazy powerful, add a few mind blasts from the rear and a small 30ish troop army wastes the enemy (running a W9E4N4A4 bless). I'm not really sure on the rest of the troops as I've just been building high prot/fear troops.

Is the high priest too cheap? H3, good leadership, F1, R3 seems like a steal at 105g. They're my main commanders and researchers and blessers.

Haven't played with the SCs too much, want to give the 9 mighty AIs at least a small chance. The 18 prot one seems very nice, especially as an H3 prophet. Vs the AI you don't run up against a lot of magic duels so I'm curious how painful it would be.

Magic diversity was tough initially, but rolls right along with a naied or 2 and some revenants. A water/death/nature pretender does ok with diversifying through conj.

I like it so far, certain troops are a bit too powerful imo (fear), but the heroes are cool and the commanders rock.

I haven't built a single cav yet, with 0 prot and high cost are they worth it?
