Lead them with mermages equipped with sceptres of authority. When your pretender is free, have him cast acashic record to find the magic sites your site searcher couldn't. FInding death sites is the key. Then follow the skull mentor strategy suggested by Baalz in his guide to Hellheim. You should have no trouble getting to 300 RP which will get you to conjuration six in short order. Then cast streams of Hades. Have this commander summon ghosts. Crush a weak land province and build a lab. Recruit any mercenaries available to the land province and conjure like crazy. Have your pretender teleport in and cast Troll King's court. As your research builds up, you can get to the elemental royalty. Tarraresque. Tartarians. You can build a quite formidable land army if you can get to Conjure 8 before anyone else.
Rick, all I can say is try this in MP. I like Oceania as well - but no one I know suggests its competetive MA.

A few problems: You lose to R'ylleh. You don't have the astral income to support acashic record. You cannot count on mercenaries MP. You will not win the research race to Con-8 before other nations.
