I guarantee I'll have it in by tomorrow night though at the latest.

Try out the trogs if you haven't. They're low resource cost and clear our indies great. You'll need to get to a critical mass to avoid losing a couple with each province you take. Once you get to that point, though, they can take just about any indy province and you can expand very quickly.
You also need gold for your good mages.
I would go something like this.
Order 3
Sloth 3
Heat 0
Growth 0 (more if you can, to get extra monies early on for trogs)
Misfortune 2
Magic 1
Feel free to raise the growth to pickup some extra income if you have leftover pretender scales. I would probably take an awake great sage to help your magic diversity, and to do researching to turn on your earth mages. If you pay attention to who your neighbors are, you should be able to counter any rushes with, basically just your earth magic, and troop spam. Also, throw earth and blood on your pretender to eventually diversify into blood magic and blood stones.
Earth Meld is great against high defense troops, Armor of Achielles works well against high protection troops (or troops with small numbers in general like neifel giants), and blade wind is great against spammable sacreds that have low protection values.
