This is a really odd build, and is probably not for everyone, but I had a joint victory (my first win! or half win!) playing MA Agartha like this, so I will describe, in case it brings you any luck, or at least fresh ideas -
Dormant Great Enchantress, Dom4(!), E6/S6/N4, Order3/Misf2/Magic1 (I actually had Growth1/Misf3, don't ask, cause I don't know! It was my first MP signup.)
It's comical, as the bless ultimately does little for your statues (MR is okay for the little ones, but MR items do not stack with Astral bless on the Marble Oracles), and they are 0Enc and Lifeless, so do not benefit from E/N blessings. However, the bless is actually rather effective on your recruitables, and is very nice for your mages.
However, by the end of the game, I had up -
Gift of Health
Earth Blood Deep Well
Arcane Nexus
And some other global that slips my mind, I had Stellar Focus most of the game, but at the end I think it was Mother Oak.
Golem Cult is a fun novelty, but only helps under your own dominion, so it's a catch-22, since you will be fighting in enemy dominion a lot (especially with Dom4!). Your Golem Crafters can forge Water Bracelets, and then you can set them to Summon Earthpower, Acid Boltx4, which is devastating considering their low cost, and sacred status. This also gives access to Manifest Vitriol. A Marble Oracle with a Crown of Command can lead Vitriol Lions against Illithids, or anyone using heavy Astral spells for a completely Mindless troop, just give your Oracle a wand or a crossbow so he stays behind the Lions, and stack some MR gear on him.
Anyway, the game was a mess, but I won (well, half won!), and it just illustrates how sometimes you don't have to play towards a nation's obvious strengths, or even try to shore up their obvious weaknesses, to succeed.
