* warlord/archmage/artificier/Spellweaver/Specialist not efficient (rather exchange for 1 book)
My strategy is to gain resource as fast as possible.
My major force is warlock's 10pt doom bolt. level-up not necessary, So, warlord not as efficient.
amplifying tower is alternative to archmage/spellweaver
create artifact comes too late in game.
Specialist not as efficient.
* Astrology is good. allow my warlock to cast doom bolt in nodes.
This closed my initial picks: Myrran + Astrology + 6~7 Life + Sorcery else,
I useed warlock at my dispose (sacrifice some and win, to grab resources: towns,nodes, towers,..)
Forgot to mention the starting pick for magics: phantom warrior, confusion, nagas (picked in this order, depends on how many sorcery books), Just caused is a must to compensate slow growth, heroism, healing, holy armer, endurance, for starting, incarnation prayer for guaranteed. Although focus magic is good, I would rather focus on initial game fast expend , and hope for focus magic in magic trade or bonus of conquered node, lair, tower.
