Re: Ermor
EA Ermor is fairly effective but i think they are not the invincible legions that the Roman-themed nations of Ermor/Pythium possess in the Middle Era. EA Ermor has a few oddball things about it; Death mages, old age, no Death gem income, Priests that heal (albiet quite ineffectively, only about 1/3 to 1/4 as well as a Arco Priestess), medium Cavalry, Gladiators.
Gladiators are so effective it's almost always worth throwing a few in any battle where you know some casualties are inevitable (against Cavalry/Elephants, or Blood Vines). It's a bit of a micro headache to keep the "Gladiator reserves" stocked and up with the main army, though.
There really aren't any Pretenders/paths that especially come to mind immediately either when using Ermor. The Lord of um... Nature?, the Zeus-like titan with a pot on his head - he seems the most "thematic" Pretender to choose. Remember, though, you do have healing Priests, so taking an affliction-prone Pretender SC chassis is a very real and valid option.
