Some suggestions-
Unlock scales, and especially Dominion.
Many summons require food, and with all dominions spreading 3 Death, there will be few supplies anywhere.  To compound that problem, there will be a very finite amount of Blood Slaves possible in such a decaying world, so with no food and no demons, may as well all it "super undead game".  
In actuality, if you engineer the game to make recruited troops play a smaller part, you don't want auto or even fast research.  To make a game out of it, you need to force choices and strategies as far as researching.
Also, if it's the super magic game, why is everyone set to 3 Drain?  
I dub this game "Diseased Tartarian Deathmatch".  Except, a couple of players won't have diseases.....
