What really makes Ermor vulnerable is enemy magic. If everyone researches very slowly, as is the case in this game, Ermor's window of military dominance gets longer.

Furthermore, if Ermor is five times the size of any of it's neighbours, what can they do? With a large enough gem income, Ermor can have a non-undead, summoned auxillary the equal of any entire national army - and several absolutely huge undead skirmishing forces which, while very vulnerable, still have to be dealt with.

That said, I don't think Ermor will be the most dangerous foe thirty turns from now.
