Thanks! I should say that the idea has been kicking around in the back of my head ever since I first talked about the thematics and history of Ermor with Kristoffer some months ago and it got some more wind in its sails from the Halt Heretic thread, which is the main post of mine Kristoffer referred to in the Gath Dev Diary thread. You can find that thread here and the exact post is here.

1) Thematics is good. You should write up some more stuff for stuff like the Ermorian Cultist.
Ermorian Cultist is part of both Ashen Empire and Broken Empire unit roster, so it would be a very difficult trick to alter that without screwing things up for one nation or the other. The description as it currently stands is acceptable.

Good point. Hadn't thought of that. I'll see what I can do about that this evening. Won't be difficult. I also thought of adding a new startsite to give the Broken Empire/Restored Ermor a unit like the Pythian Comitatense in LA. I also need to look into adding a Primani type heavier infantry with mapmove 1, because the MA legionnaires can be classified as medium-heavy infantry at best. The tower shield helps, though, but the armor is way below most LA nations.

The problem is that there are few unused unit slots within the existing framework, four in all that I know of, maybe one more. I just used two of those on the Ermorian Renata and Renatus.

3) The Renatus/Renata fit, really... if you really wanted to, you could make mention about how Pythium assisted in the Restoration, which would explain why they are present. (Whole Eastern Roman Empire helping to restore the Western Roman Empire thing.)
These two are units 1603 & 1604, cleared and copystatted, NOT the Pythian Renata and Renatus. I wanted them there, but the thematics had to be different. Check the descriptions...
