I would like to make one statement in the defense of Ermor. Ermor's greatest strength is in playing opposing players off against one another. Most players don't want to invade Ermor, so they sit idly by while Ermor swallows up their weaker neighbors. Ermor survives by making alliances to secure their borders, then praying on non-allied players. I know this because I almost won with them in the BAG last year, only losing because the other three players joined forces against me. While Ermor is often hindered by being in fixed alliances, meaning it has to hold back its dominion and be careful how it opperates, it is also weak in the face of allied groups, because they present a force that can exploit all of Ermor's weaknesses while protecting their own.
I just like to play Ermor, I enjoy them. Not because they are a powerhouse, as they have been repeatedly nerfed, but becaus ethey are fun, until micromanagement sets in.
