Early Agartha can recruit Troglodytes. I've read that when massed, Troglodytes work very well. The initial shock causes lots of damage very quickly, and they can take a few hits, so they can kill and rout relatively strong armies without too many casualties.

They're also exremely buffable. In one game my opponent had a army of 50-60 troglodytes. I attack him. His spells;

Army of Lead, Will of the Fates, Mass Flight, Fog Warriors

Then the flying, 20 prot, lucky and mirror imaged trogds descendedn upon my army. It was brutal.

Don't use bless with Early Agartha. Take an awake SC pretender (Risen Oracle works nice and is safe due to immortality), expand using troglodytes and independent archers only. Research to blade wind or magma eruption as fast as you can, then use your oracles as main damage dealers.
Middle game, Umbrals should you be your main army unit. 1 in 4 Earth Readers can summon them, and those who can should do so each month.
It would be good to have access to indy mages casting Wind Guide - this makes a lot of difference for your low precision mages.
