Well, i've been at this for awhile and have come to this conclusion...It is much easier, playing as Ermor, to have a all Death magic pretender. My Last incarnation is Death 9/Dominion 10 with luck and magic tilted in my favor. Man oh man, i'm still battling Pythium but i can outnumber them much easier plus with Gandalf's little tactic it works wonders: take a province and raise taxes 200%, then leave before the enemy comes. If you retake it and repeat eventually the ai stops trying to take it back (no profit?) and you can make "choke points" to help defend your territory. When ready, move a massive army in to patrol as you set the taxes back to 100% then build a fortress in a good spot and you've pushed the front into enemy territory and they are receding like gums with gingivitis
. I won't spoil anything but i stumbled onto some VERY powerful units in a province i captured and i'm cranking out 20-30 of them a turn (mountain=resources) until i reach summoning 9 spells any minute now
. In this game i was attacked by one gnarly independent army of Giant Trolls: Mages, fighters etc...Only 6 units
... I lost three armies including my uber-prophet until my God finally struck them down only to be rewarded with some AWESOME items in each slot
. I love this game...i LOVE this game
