Default Re: LA Ermor - myth, legend, or overrated tripe?

I always thought that alot of the pretenders would work well for Ermor, and even some non-pretenders. Eater of the Dead? Horrors? Harvester? Ive enjoyed creating maps with boosted Ermor as an AI and building them a god around such units.

yes, but panagea or even jortundheim have more unique choices. just say bog mummy and draco lich. LA Ermor just got lichqueen, and this is the nr1 nation with most design points to spend on a pretender.

The 'bog mummy' is basically the Jotun lich. Ermor isn't a jotun nation so they don't get it. Some roman-themed pretender choices would be nice for Ermor, and I'd have nothign against an undead dragon if it didn't have the jotun alternate form.

I also always got the impression that the prince of death was already very good indeed.
Not too sure about the Eater of the Dead... unless the mechanics were changed slightly so your god didn't go on a rampage against its own nation! A harvester-type pretender would be excellent, especially as LE ermor is really the only nation that could easily use one.

The prince of death is indeed very good and works well with the Dom10 AE demands(awe+high fear=good).

As long as you have Arch Bishops with all your army's the effects of priests is lessened especially if you have more then one.
Quick question. Does anybody have a good way of dealing with Eternal Knights, which does not involve chucking so much chaff at them that they finally die

That will help a lot in dealing with them without watching them carve through my weaker armies

Ermor as nation of only death doesn't need harvesters.. they don't need for so nothing to harvest.

there is lots of things for an ermor god to harvest. All the lovely people in his domain just waiting to be killed so they can be added to the undead horde
