If you feel that magic is something you would be forced to use, then you might look at Ulm. It tends to stress armored troops and low magic. In fact, you can get away with taking minuses in magic and push your dominion hard in front of your heavily armored armies.

Thats what I love about Dominions. The most powerful thing you can do isnt to learn other peoples methods. Its finding the nation that best matches your style of play.

My national dwarf mages I had research as well, but every three turns or so, due to a huge death gem income, I had them summon up an army led by a bane lord of ghosts, pale riders, behemoths, and that one shadow skull-head dog ethereal summon.

If you've got a huge death gem income, forge loads of skull mentors and your research problems will be over. Heck, you could even go for owl quills as well.
