Any brilliant tactical advice?

Not really, but here's some stuff.
I don't think it makes sense to postpone your expansion until your single city is all-mighty. I like to build as many settlers in each city as it's needed to occupy all surrounding terrain, just like in Civ, which was much like this game (no secret here).
And even talking exclusively about mana, all your cities will need a shrine very early in their development. Many cities with only a shrine each (and at least some of them will be more developed) create more mana than a single one with all the advanced buildings. Each city will pay for its building, and still grant a positive balance to pay for more soldiers, even if these are advanced units built in the capital (or capitals). And if you started with a Myrran race or conquered one, its very population creates mana for you, so the larger your empire the more mana you get.
