Looks like somebody ripped you off there.

still missing some info i'm sure. So a quick question... what determines how much resources for making units other then gold a province produces other then your fortress type?

The number of resources a province has is determined by a number of factors. The basic amount is determined by the population and land type of the province. Mountains produce more resources, while farmlands produce less. Farmlands have more population, however, which makes their gold income much higher. There are also magical sites in some provinces that increase the amount of available resources. The amount of resources is also modified by the productivity scale.

In any given province, the presence of a fortress will give you all of the resources that the province is capable of producing. If you don't have a castle, then the available resources in a province are halved. The other source of resources is the fact that a castle pulls its administration percentage of resources from neighbouring friendly provinces that do not have a castle.

I like to play ermor(sp?), and I am a HUGE fan of the 110 lich so I always use that.

You should try the Lich Queen, as she is a cheaper deal for Ermor.

After the first death match is there any reason to go again? Whats the real benifit of being on the fame board?

There isn't a lot of reason to go to the death match ever, since once you win you always have to go back on subsequent occasions. The hall of fame provides heroic abilities to commanders that are not pretenders.

Is anything more exspensive then the cheapest infantry cost effective for the ermor? The best infantry cost about 3x as much and are twice as effective.... roughly.

Praetorian guards are considerably more than twice as effective as Velites, since they are much less likely to suffer attrition in battles. Principes are probably the best general purpose infantry for Broken Empire Ermor though, as they have excellent morale and other stats.

Another sidenote... how does raising undead work? Gouls subtract fromt he population, so do souless, long dead do not-long dead seem to be the worst type of the 3 however.

Ghouls take population, soulless require corpses, longdead do not require anything.

do you raise more souless if there corpses, what about gouls?

You can only raise soulless if there are unburied corpses in a province.
