This (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=38122) thread is the strategy guides thread. It's stickied near the top of the list of threads.

Ermor is the 9th nation down, and there are links to 8 threads dealing with LA Ermor in some way. Hopefully you'll find what you need there.

The best introduction to LA Ermor came from Tyrant in some MP game, IIRC.

It had him post "Braaainnnsss..... mooreee braaiiiinnnsss......." and after somebody criticized his lack of ingame diplomacy, the reply was "Brrraaaaiiinnnnzzz??" :D

I find Ermor to be quite enigmatic. They are, of course, fiendishly easily to "play" because of the reduced economic aspect. But, ultimately, they are quite challenging to really play effectively.

They're a nation that I'd love to write a guide for, but with no MP experience with them, I'd imagine there are others who could do the job better, if they chose to.

Uh, C'mon guys. Do you even need a guide? It's LA Ermor, after all.

Honestly, at this point, when it comes to MP, there is so much knowledge of the weak points of Ermor, and how to combat them - and everyone is so willing and eager to share it, that you really have to invest yourself into the nation just like any other, to be victorious. So knowing what to summon, what buffs you need to look for, tricks to manage your decrepit gold income to maximize castle construction - these things aren't entirely intuitive, and need to be known to play them well. ;)
