Default Man: Tuatha questions

I've really taken a liking to the Last of Tuatha theme for Man and so I've decided to take them in an upcoming MP game. However, with only SP experience with this nation, I have a few questions about how to get the most out of it in MP:

1. Since most of the good leaders & troops are capitol only, does it make sense to take the fortified city? This works fine in SP (good admin compensates for sloth scale), but I'm concerned the combination of weak PD and few castles will make defense difficult in MP.

2. Are longbows the best option for early expansion? Two Groups of longbows + meat shields seem to do the job in SP, but that delays the build up of the excellent Sidhe troops quite a bit.

3. Are level-9 blessings really cost-effective? I had success in SP with astral-9 using an Oracle, but it seemed like the good scales I could afford with that setup were more important than the bonuses from the blessing. Air, fire and water all look potent, but would come at the expense of scales. I think earth and death would better address the nation's magic gaps, but the corresponding blessings aren't as strong.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
