Fortified city (the 50 admin one ?), 40 admin Castle might be better in some environment.

Bad quick-start. It takes until turn 4 to start on the rampage (The Commander you want as a prophet costs 500 Gold so you don't get him until turn 3 and it takes a turn to make him the prophet). Once you start you should be able to take almost a provence a turn for about 10 turns.

The problem I have in the demo is my Pretender and my Prophet get a nice long list of battle afflections by turn 40 and the spell to remove them is not in the demo.

The other problem I have is my Domain is too low. I have to put a temple in every other provence I take or my prophet has no hitpoints.
