If that's true (and I have no reason to doubt it), this is a major balance problem with the game. If an AI can do that much better with Ermor, then how much of an advantage would a human have using Ermor in multiplayer games?

Not much. Ermor is relatively easy to counter with what Norfleet describes as "drive-by priestings". Several priests in a pack, casting Banishment, can wreak holy havoc (pun intended) on Ermorian armies. The game's problem is that the other national AIs don't use this tactic against Ermor. So in SP Ermor grows much stronger than it should, and leaves you a mess to deal with. It's not much fun when you play game after game and it tends to always be you vs. Ermor at the end.
