What do you recommend for Ashen Empire Scales and Domain ?

[Nagot Gick Fel]

Always pick max Turmoil, Sloth, Cold, Death.

Magic +1 gives you decent research, and avoid the MR penalty you get with Magic +2/+3.

Luck, pick 0, and push that up to +3 if you have spare design points after buying the essentials.

Dominion 8+.

Castle, depends. I often go with the smaller one, but the 60-points citadel is a tough nut to crack with 100's of ghouls to defend it. Add a BVC to one of your leaders here and storming your citadels will be a very painful experience to most other nations.
