It is easier to lock down an area it looks like you should get a research pair and lock down the section of the map you are in and move out section by section. By section I mean an area closed off by an ice bridge.

If its escalating fog then build up on a village (not a port though) that is near a port that can get to the sanctuary easily. That way, no one knows where you are, so as long as they dont just get a lucky guess, or eliminate everyone else, once you get around 100 total armies on the village you should be able to make it to the sanctuary easy.
easiest thing to do is get as many villages and whatever the other bonus' are called (aka the one with the bunnies i think) and THEN start to build up/conquer
u have to take a reasource pair and village early...then just build...and go to the sactuary with 150 plus...cause all the others will have the same...if its non fog...i suggest not making the first move attacking into the 75 neutrals

Not necessarily - though I speak mostly for 1vs1 fog.
I'll usually have armies deployed in the 60's or higher by round 5. Looking for the enemy can work, or I could hunt villages to get massive bonuses (3 for each resource pair + 1 for each castle I have) and get to a port watching the sanctuary entrances. I could end up wasting 4 turns to go through all the different castles, and while I won't be outpowerered, he might get the santuary in my absence. alternatively (and I especially favour this if I'm in the 100+ bonuses) I can go straight for the sanctuary and fort troops in.
It's also amusing to be able to do stuff like in this game.
I find that not to be true for 1v1 - Once my opponent spent his 40 bonus hammering the sancutuary, when he could have killed me, and this left him open for me to take the game.
Well, I'd never use a 40 bonus to go for the sanctuary, when I could easily go hunting for villages and probably have at least another 20 for the next go.
... In Age of Realms: Magic you can win by EITHER eliminating everyone else or by capturing Sanctuary? And holding it? For how long do you need to hold it to win?
And what's this stuff about "All the simple terits are affected by frostbite and lose 1 army each turn. Except for the Sanctuary Island that loses 10 armies per turn." In looking in on some games in progress I can't see that that is happening. Sanctuary doesn't seem to ever lose armies; at least not the neutral armies. Can anyone explain this?

easily....
1) You gotta hold sanctuary for one turn
2) Simple territories are territories that dont give a bonus. So, a village or a port would not be considered a simple terr.
3) Frostbite only effects your armies, it has no effect on the neutral ones what so ever.
4) If you have one army on a simple territory...it will not turn neutral...it will stay on 1.

I must say I just ge frustrated playing the 2-3 folks who think its fun to go for sanctuary . Sure, they can win, but you can win FAR faster by just plain attacking your opponent. By the time you have 100 or so armies, you have enough to take everyone out. Going for Sanctuary just adds another turn .. or two or three, because often you don't need 100 armies to win. (though by the time you have 3-4 castles and associated resource groups, villages ... you HAVE over 100 armies) .. in about 5 turns, if all goes well.
I say in team games try to go for the santuary like in tripples because omeone takes over the port at the sanctuary and the other people fortify everything they have to the place to gather enough armies to kill the santuarry and hold it
