All the starting positions are really close to identical.  The ones
on the edge of the board will have fewer friendly neutrals nearby to
help counteract their positional advantage, but who drops near whom and
who can find this out fast is almost more relevant.
I'm starting to think that investigating the realms of the people I run
into for the first few turns might be a worthwhile investment of money
so I can see which directions are best to expand into.

In general, explore as many hexes as you can in your first few turns.
Hit hostile neutrals with as little extra power as possible.  Build as
many untis as you can afford, with Light Cav being very nice (until you
have about 5-10 of them), then magic or missile, whichever you think is
a better deal (hard to say, really).  In the
early portion of the game, expansion is almost exponential.

Your realm character is resurrected if he dies, so might as well send
him out naked, alone, and on conflict.  If he finds hostiles and wins, great!
If not, you only lost a part of a turn's movement.  When you start to
build an army, his bonuses (most of his value) are best used in that
stack.
