LA Ermor's Dominion Change in 3.15...

[hnchrist3]

I have been playing LA Ermor for over a year. I switched when my other test factions consistently ran into trouble against Ermor. (Of course the idea was to understand the enemy so he is more easily defeated.) My conclusion was that LA Ermor is an extremely subtle nation to play; that is, it is always on the edge, and one miscalculation can sink it.

The population change is just another variable in a game of hundreds of degrees of freedom. Apparently it was "traditional" and it has been restored. To we LA Ermor players, it only means we have to adjust our strategy.

Frankly, I am a hard ***, and I do not take crap from any other players. I take the Lord-of-the-Rings point of view and tell other players, "The dead do not suffer the living." [The Return of the King.] If you attack me early, you can be guaranteed that neither of us will survive. If you find support in your attack, others will grow stronger while you defeat me.

Frankly, Ermor is a conundrum: Damned if you attack, and damned if you wait.

For my part, the new population rules mean it will be harder for ME to keep up a blood pool.

In any event, you'll have to pry those 15 death gems from my cold tight hand.
