I've never played with them or against them in MP, but if there's issues in using them I can bow out. The reason I'm playing them is because I'm currently playing EA and MA Ermor in two other MP games -- my only MP experience so far (one of which is in its final stages), and I wanted to complete the trifecta.
A cursory look at the Ermor strategy guides tells me that the nation is a bit of a one-trick pony with a ton of weaknesses and lots of counters, so I'm not sure how they could be such an unstoppable juggernaut. Admittedly, they seem to have a good mid game, but they look almost weak at the end game when SCs and powerful battlefield magic effectively neuter them.
This is purely anecdotal, but in my MA Ermor game, I lost an entire army of 1,000+ cavalry units to a single well placed spell. Admittedly, it's different age but the mechanics are similar, i.e., chaff armies can be easily brought down with the right tactics.
