Ermor's PD may be pitiful, and can hardly afford to spend wads of cash on PD, but only one point of PD will enable the regular detritus that gathers in Ermorian provinces to fight. While the PD itself is pitiful, there will probably be a few dozen random units lounging around waiting for an outbound commander to grab them, and with a 1-pt PD, a free commander will be spawned to lead them should the province be attacked. While hardly an obstacle to invasion force, it's certainly adequate for fending off a few pesky Black Hawks or some madmen/flagellants. Even if the province falls, you're hardly depriving the Ermorian player of his valuable 0 income, and there will surely be sufficient dungeon detritus in a neighboring province to retake the lost province with ease. Raiding is a tactic for disrupting an opponent's economy, while his army is not present. Ermor has no economy, and an army is nearly always present.

I think that my presence may be overly polarizing the discussion, though: Condors doesn't need Ulm vs. Ermor tips, he needs general Ulmish tips.
