Do you build PD? If I recruited as many mages as you have I couldn't afford to have built all the PD I have. I'm still trying to figure out how you're so much stronger in magic than I am (350 RPs on Turn 33 vs. my 232 on the same turn). I can add, if I try, 35 RPs worth per turn in mages (at a cost of 510g). You're climbing faster than that.

Nope, I rarely build PDs unless I am afraid of an impending attack. And even then I will not build them unless I am fairly confident that they will make a difference in the fight. Whenever I build PDs I write it into the AAR since this happens fairly seldom.
I prefer a fairly strong offensive/mobile army to static defenses.
I recruit about 35 RPs each turn, too, costing me 610 gold. But I think the main difference are my researching heroes and pretender (48 RPs each turn) in addition to the fairly cheap (85 gold) star children which add 7 research which I essentially recruited ever turn in the beginning in addition to the mages.
The star children are among the most efficient concerning RPs/gold due to my magic scales of 3.
My main focus is on research, which would likely get me killed in MP fairly fast, but did work fairly well in this SP.
I think I was able to conquer richer provinces in the beginning, too, enabeling me to buy more mages.
And finally the decent Void summons enabled me to save some money I would have otherwise been forced to spend on troops.
