see ... that's what confuses me. I had thought they wanted to stop the castle spamming technique. Instead, I find it even easier to do so as I can ALWAYS recruit a mage and still almost find time to build castle every other turn.

Yep, that is why I say, that mages should be even more expensive, especially because of the huge gold income. Perhaps the best national mages should cost ~600-800 gold.

Building few castles is not really spam, and that is what it's being suggested.
Why stop castle spamming anyway? Castle spamming was bad in SP because AI didn't build forts so it was almost like cheating. Now AI will also castle spam if he has enough money (on higher levels he will very often have money).

In MP it was just another tactic you or anyone else could use.

Note that castle, temple and lab prices also doubled so it's not really that easy to castle spam.
