The Ermor problem (or better, advantage) is that he can take a lot of points from scales, getting 600 points more or less (Turmoil 3, Death 3, Sloth 3, Cold 3 = 480. Misfortune ... up to you ... 3 would be nice, most events kills pop, but this prevent you from receiving national heroes. However from 0 to 120 additional points).

So on his pretender is almost always overpowered ... for Ashen Empire and Soul Gate.
So it would be nice in a patch to see Ermor not getting pretender design points from non-affecting bad scales. He gets only from Lucky and the Magic scale.

Powerful does not mean overpowered. If AE or SG Ermor is overpowered it is not from the pretenders, these have been this way since dom 1 and Ermor certainly wasn't overpwered in MP then, perhaps it has become so after income reduction etc in dom 2, but the cause of any imbalance is not that their pretenders have more magic than other pretenders.
