Yep, the default Ermor (which has been referred to at times as Living Ermor) is different. It relies much more strongly on living troops, with all their attendant strengths and weaknesses. You can still raise undead, but some of the more powerful ones will not be available, nor is it as easy to raise the Army of Darkness.

The first of Ermor's two alternate dominions, Ashen Empire, is Ermor as it was in Dom I, if I understand correctly.
