Also... Smite spam iirc is much more efficient with a low enc scout than commander.

I always wait a turn and not blindly attack a cap adjacent prov on turn1. There are too many "special" indies that can trash your early army. I choose the easiest prov on turn 2 ( buy low/mid mage + appropriate troops) and often combine attack on turn 3 with my new cap army, I then transfer the mage troops and leave the Mage to site search, my preference anyway..
