Balancing Wrathful Skies

No Chazar is right imo . Normally there is plenty of money available . 100 fire gems give you between 1500-4500 money . By early lategame you will have 100 fever fetishes .

So just keep storming with e.g. 10 armies of 30 flaggellants or pikeneers and 20 x-bows and 1 or 2 inquisitors almost every turn . Such an army costs about 600-700 gold but can overcome small obstacles and maybe even thugs .
Firegems and thus money is in much higher quantities available then airgems in a normal game .

As Chazar says Wrathful skies is still quite an investment .

I don´t know about your math, but you could just alchemize those 40 firegems you need for 600 gold(27 with alchemy stone) into 10/7 air gems and fuel your wrathful skies with them. You have to factor the upkeep of that army in as well(with strat move 1 they will take a long time to reach the enemy forts) . And the wrather doesn´t even have to cloud trapeze.
