Ermor gets killed not because they are the whipping boy. But because you have less to gain by taking their territories, which are more of a pain to take. An intelligent Ermor player won't make his provinces a target by oversearching ones too near enemies as Gem Income is the only real factor.

Other than that, it's very easy to deal with Ermor, but if you let them grow they can get out of control if you don't know how to fight them with a human mind behind it.

Edit: Or if the Ermor player is really stupid and casts Burden of Time or Utterdark without being ready for the consequences.
