Is it really necessary to have an army?  Taking your second bit of advice
above as granted, I hoped to have a position with only 3 characters, a
priest, a ranger, and a deceiver.  I wanted to send the priest up the
appropriate religion's status chain as quickly as possible, using the
other two as support staff.  I have no interest in building an empire or
fielding armies, and with only 3 chars. they are all pretty well
maximized, so I had some hope they could get along on their own.

I am willing to accept that a location would help me get glory/prestige
quicker, but will my lack of armies completely hobble my plans.  Would it
be worth it to just drop some points into a location in startup with
enough troops to just defend it?
