I really like the Feel of Tuatha, but am not experinced with them at all, I am looking for some tips on how to play as them.
What are some stratigies that the Tuatha Theme can use for early expansion. If your playing Tuatha should you get the same kinds as magic as if you were Man? What kind of god design should you aim for?
What are some pros/cons of using Tuatha over Man, and vice versa?

Pros of Tuatha over base: Even better sacred troops, better access to air magic, and tough recruitable mages capable of taking provinces solo.
Cons: More expensive mages, somewhat worse research, not so easy access to vine ogres hordes.
In general, tuatha pretenders are all about making use of your great sacred troops. Both water and fire are good choices for a bless. Fire 9 is easy to come by with the moloch and gives great early game power with your troops. Water 9 is not quite so good in the early game, and it is harder to get it with good dominion, but it makes your mages very good later in the game.
For early expansion, a tuatha lord prophet (casting divine blessing, then lightning bolts) with 20 or so daoine sidhe can go through almost any indies. Also, whatever pretender you choose for a bless will probably be able to take provinces with a little research.
Of course, a non-bless or lesser bless tuatha is playable too. If you were using a more multi path/good scales pretender you would probably want a minor A5 bless so you can get easily to air queens, and use a few sidhe to hold off enemies while you longbow them.
