OK, thanks for the info and encouragement!
So, for Ermor, my priests don't create the spirits/apparations, etc? There's a command to "call spirits", which give options for spirits, apparations, etc...this does not work?

They work in addition to the ones you get for free. Priests can create MORE, but you do not need ANY priests to get SOME, and this SOME can already be an awful lot.

If it does, does it take corpses, or dispossessed spirits to make apparations and shadows? How many per?

Neither. Soul Gate Ermor's troops appear out of nowhere. They have no prerequisites for summoning, beyond having a strong enough unholy priest: Unholy Priests can create them through "Call Spirits", and in areas where your dominion is strong, more will come for free.

One thing I have not been doing is upping my province defense...you say the higher, the more commanders I will get (outside of a battle)? I know defense give you extra troops in a battle and helps detect spies....

You receive a commander automatically when you purchase a single point of PD. You will get a SECOND commander at 20 points. At 10 points, stealthy units may be automatically detected by the PD. Above 20 points, only more units, generally of insuperior quality to the ones you got for the first 20, are gained. This is true for all nations.

Ermor, however, has crap for PD. I only purchase 1 point, to gain a free commander to lead whatever rabble has spawned there.
