What do you recommend for Ashen Empire Scales and Domain ?

[Aikamun]

And could you explain your reasoning?

I am a newbie, so will give my initial choices:

Order +1 to derive some income while people are still in the province.

Sloth 3 because AE never needs resources.

Cold 0 but am leaning towards cold 3 if all my forces will be cold resistant.

Death 2 because of default for AE.

Luck neutral since we will not have the funds to rebuild destroyed facilities.

Magic Neutral.

Domain eight. Not sure if too high or too low.

The remaining points are enough for a poor rainbow mage.

Thanks for your time,
Aikamun
