From my point of view, they really don't need anything. That's the Hinnom build, well pre-nerf I don't know if it still applies, probably does.

LA has generally sucky high resource demanding troops, but Bogarus seems to have good administration in their forts to cover that.

And it seems with the super awesome badars killer scales they can expand pretty fast, pretty pretty fast, and it's not like they need the paths, or cros paths. Cavalry seems to be able to take provinces with no or minimal loses.
And as for awake SC, do they really? They can jump start research faster than any other nation in the game, and with such great cross paths I doubt they couldn't defend themselves early on.

I sure as heck wouldn't take an awake SC, it feels rather like a waste if you lay out your options. I mean, just keep patrolling the cap for the first dozen turns for a 1000+ gold just from your cap and set up 5 forts by turn 15.
