Of course, the simplest solution to the original posters problem is to play against another nation rather than Ermor.

It's also really beginning to bother me that so many posters run up against an aspect of Dominions they don't like or agree with, and announce "this is broken" or "this must be fixed" or describe the tactic as "abuse", without any explanation or rational argument. C'mon people, the designers have obviously spent thousands of hours designing/playing this game, and things are like they are for good reasons. If you do honestly think something ought to be changed, lets hear your analysis - Illwinter also has a great track record in responding to the wishes of the player community - when the community provides a well-reasoned argument.
