One observation - its already fun and I've only just started. I'm only playing with 10 nations and I'm already "bordering" 6 of them.

I've just been concentrating on taking territories, not rushing a neighbor. I'll be curious to see how mighty AI with its big armies move them around the nodes.

I'm playing 4? guarded/recruit, so I'm trying not to take advantage of the sites right away for recruiting, letting the AI take what they will and just PD'ing the jump spots on my territory.

Did you specifically put a good amount of the gem priestesses around? onyx, jade, etc? I've got like 20 territories and already have 5 of those pop types. Bit odd.

So far so good.
