I really like your guide. Esp. about the awake sage.
In vanilla though I found MA Aby to be very weak: Luck scale may or may not work, your income is hurting and shrinking (due to death) and you must forge const 6. items in order to be able to research competitively. Then you need to forge a const. 4. for your mages not to die of old age. And you need to empower a D mage to summon your infantry. Too many shackles on MA Abysia. I wonder whether its an oversight of IW in the transition form dom-II to III.
