Well, thanks for the compliment. I wouldn't have known that you had visited, if you had not mentioned it.

The Road of Kings forum will probably gain you at least a couple of drooling followers for your Total War mod, if not more.

If you haven't checked out my links page, you might want to browse it, sometime. There are a variety of websites that pertain, in some way, to Hyboria. Of particular interest to you might be the link to Mike Stelzer's Armies of the Hyborian Age page, and the Wikisource page on Robert E. Howard. As far as general knowledge of the Hyborian setting, something that might serve as inspiration or a source of ideas for the setting, I would recommend Dale Rippke's book, "The Hyborian Heresies."

I personally thought I'd make Hyperborea sort of evil, but without too much sorcery: they'd have things like horned helmets and skull masks, sort of like the Saxons and vikings in a really bad mood.

With regard to magic, I don't know what kind of magic you can create or use in Total War. On a purely personal note, probably because I have played Hyborian War on and off for 20+ years, I would advocate magic for Hyperborea, just different magic from Stygia. I've never played Total War, though, so take my input with a grain of salt. I doubt that my computer would run Total War.
