Balance problems with Ermor?

[NTJedi]

During games with LA Ermor... I actually find the game easier to play because his death dominion hurts the other computer opponents greatly since they don't know how to prevent units from starving. Thus the game turns into me verses Ermor. I usually don't place him on a map because victory is easier yet comes more slowly due to lack of supplies in the provinces.
LA Ermor is the most nasty of the AI opponents.
