And here I thought Ermor was immune.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ermor is, Ermor's puppetmaster is not. heh

I, OTOH, suffer from the not-quite-related malady known as the Burden of Too Much Time On My Hands. At times.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Nope. PD costs nothing beyond what you pay for it. There's no hidden drawback, no upkeep cost, and no reduction of income or resources.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I think Dominionsx.com and Sunray's site may have data dating back to Dominions 1. While some of the information is no longer current, the general principles may still apply. Most people are obsessed with killing Ermor rather than being Ermor, though, because Ermor is just so different from everyone else. Nobody likes the guy who's different.

And I don't think I've ever seen an Ermorian cultist attack before. Maybe my choice in scales prevents it from happening.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Have I gained a title? I wasn't aware I ever *WAS* the ultimate Sage of Death here....

I kinda don't want to end up being pigeonholed into this role, in the way Argitoth has been pigeonholed into being the authority on all things C'tissian....

I do play other nations, you know!

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It happens quite a bit with luck +3. They are generally pretty ineffectual though. Not nearly as entertaining as the ghost ship attacks 8)

By the way, one thing I noticed when playing ermor with luck +3 ( which I originally chose solely to avoid having my temples continually falling apart ) was that a lot of the resource or income bonus specials that appeared through random events continuted to function to full effect even when the province they were in was population 0, and it actually had a pretty significant effect on my gold income.

Not sure if that is a bug or if it is, if it has been fixed in the Last 2 patches though.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Neither have I, and I've played full Ashen and SG games several times in SP.

Of course, given how it appears in some other nation's province, you'd expect their scales to dictate it...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">They still function, yes. In fact, it gets even better as Ermor: You can jack up your tax rates to 200, which WOULD produce a lot of unrest and cause people to complain incessantly, if it weren't for the fact that they are all dead now, and the only inhabits are the undead.

And the undead always pay their bills in full.

I have no clue if scales have any effect on it, since it doesn't display as an event in the turn Messages.

Re: Questions for those more knowledgable than me(so almost anyone)..
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I play hideously long games, so if that's the cause, I should be seeing it. It must be extremely rare, or triggered by a combination of scales and dominionary influence in ways that generally don't occur.

Re: Questions for those more knowledgable than me(so almost anyone)..
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hmm, I think it's tied to the death and misfortune scales, as I have had it occur around turn ten with Black Forest Ulm.
