Actually, I beg to differ. Ermor's undiplomatic style is extremely overrated. Ermor can be a good allie just like anyone else. The only thing you have to do is keep his dominion out just like every allie has to do with every allie.

Not in the game I played .

First, an enemy with an infinite supply of troops, even though you know that they can be banished easily, is very unnerving. It's better off to kill him first. Most other enemy will have limit on how much troop they can build up. Second, most players have a tendency to use very high dominions strength for Ermor, which itself is a passive-aggressive strategy. In that situation, there is nothing like a *peaceful* Ermor. Finally, Ermor is very weak in the beginning and his land is usually flushed with found sites - an invitation for attack.

A diplomatic Ermor can be played but it is difficult. It might be easier to win by sticking to the Broken Empire.
