Default Re: Fools Lament II - Newbies Welcome

I found Ermor to be a very good nation.

The sites are very nice. The bane site is excellent for early expansion. However given Ermor's natural ability for expansion it helps but is not necessary for Ermor's success.

The conjuration and construction sites are very good for ermor. I did not find much use for the Thaumaturgy site. If the game had progressed I planned on using it for GoR to Tartarians, but the game never got that far for me.

Ermor is slightly hampered in the research game at that start since they can not summon as many researchers per turn ( 1.5 / turn ) as other nations can buy mages. To rectify this I went for spectres before I went for anything else. Spectres more than double your research / gem due to the conjuration bonus.

I think that Ermor desperatly covets the Vanhiem's conjuration 50 site and Pangea's 50 Enchantment site ( sadly the Atlantis Version is underwater and many of the spells you would want to cast can not be cast there ).

I'll be honest I have never seen this happen. I'm not 100% sure as to how the rules wrt. dominion flowing though other people's provinces work.

Deccan that's incorrect. I named you as one of the people who was attacking me when you attacked. I never said anything about you after you bargined for peace. And further more those "troops" on your border were ( I would guestimate ) 95% dispossessed spirits which were used for pillaging.
