I don't really see a problem with Ermor's progression through the ages, in a general sense.

They start out as republic style roman nation with old and new faiths vying for control. They are influenced by the sauromancers and go down the path of death magic heavily. Overuse of this death magic has terrible results and you get Ashen Empire.

I know it doesn't fit the descriptions exactly, but it makes sense to me. They slide into an undead nation. MA is just the halfway point.


I agree that EA -> MA Ulm is a bit odd, but given the length of time,.. well Germany changed a lot from migratory tribes to the Holy Roman Empire. I see EA Ulm as a pre-national faction, before 'civilisation' really kicked in and therefore very different. The connection being steel. But EA Ulm is a bit of a weird nation, due to the whole balance issue of the female troops being flat out better than the males, so I basically end up playing them as amazons.
