Thanks for the suggestions!

I have also been sending my mage/spies around to instill uprisings. It is very effective (though not with Ermor).

This game is getting farcical. I have Ermor down to their capital and I cannot take it. I attacked with ~500 units and they were defending with about 7 dusk elders and <50 minor undead. They routed me and killed my hero/prophet just by casting morale spells I guess. I have been at this for hours and the "stupid AI" is really letting me have it. When you can't win at 10-1 odds, something is wrong. I even had lots of mindless thralls, and they supposedly have amazinf morale, but after a few spells they took tail like everyone else.

Father Illearth is pretty worthless now. He became crazily injured, and then died, but when I re-cast the spell he came back still cursed and with all his injuries! Is it just me or doesn't it make sense that things that regenerate should also heal afflictions? For some reason boosting items no longer work on him either. He's just sitting in my capital researching because his injuries make him suck to bad to do anything esle. Is there any way (besides say, Gift Of Health, Arco Priestess, etc) to get those afflictions away? IMHO having something die and re-summoned should give you a clean slate.

Oh, and about the horror helm, as was suggested...if a creature has natural fear, does the helm stack with it?
