OP missed two races for EL - cultists(their gimmick is having only one supercity and converting villages everywhere for bonus population and resources) and mezari(just re-skinned Vaulters pretty much)

So any pointers at how to play as Cultists in Endless Legend? I like the idea behind them a lot, but the Only One City thing makes them weird to play, also not starting with actual soldier units...

Set a governor in your city, preferably cultist; he'll level quickly because your city will be massive soon. Go for food production early to get the ball rolling but also influence as you need it to convert villages.
Send out armies everywhere to convert all villages and get population, resources and free units, with one city you can run all boosters all the time. Also since your converted units are mercenary with privateering tech you can cause trouble without actually going to war. You should try to eliminate others early anyway.
Assimilate factions that give +% food/industry/science/influence to city.
Cultists are very dependent on map - on maps larger than number of players and archipelago maps it's much easier to play as them, as your converted villages won't be eaten by others as soon.

What's the best way to powerlevel a hero in EL?

Do you have tons of cash? Assign the hero as governor of brand new city and buy every possible building in it
