Ah I see. Oh and no I probably won't cry that my favourite nation was nerfed, because I am an Ermor fanatic!
Old age! bleh! My undead hordes won't care about their age.

Ermor has its own problems, for example that you have to take an awake god (otherwise you cannot summon spectators/dusk elders till your god awakes) or that because gold income was so much increased population is more valuable in Dom3 and thus Ermor will face even more united opposition than in Dom2.

But you also get a 20 death gem income from the sepulchre site whereas other nations in LE get only 4 gems from starting sites .

And you have a fun ally with ryleh dreamlands, so you are not alone .

LE Agartha also looks like excellent for a person who prefers to use Death Magic as source #1.
Can you confirm this?

Personally I think people are going to quit using Shrapnel's site since images were implemented in signatures, especially since some people want to use 100+K images there. ( And yes - I have DSL, but imagine all the people still paying per minute in parts of Europe (or New England). )

LE Argatha is an excellent nation imho.
Not only death magic wise, their mages are i think the most versatile late era battlemage too .

You can get quite high death,earth and fire magic on them .
On a big map where you buy dozens of them you should eventually luck with the 10% randoms and thus without powerup gear you can reach:
Fire 3, earth 4 and death 4.
Then with booster items you can easily increase this.

So earth and fire kings are an option too. And also the king of banefires .

Once research is finished you can do the classical demilich ghostrider-spamming /tartarian factory strat too .

Well at least in germany it is your fault if you do not have a flatrate .
Most ppl who play dominions are hardcore pc gamers, and this special group there 90+% should have a flatrate .

I do not know how common flatrates are in other countries though.

There is the option to turn off signatures completely

Why would all the death nations that were crammed in LE care about Ermor killing off population? O_o

My biggest concern about the game is actually all the Death nations jammed into late era + the two nations that start with a popkilling Dominions and a third one who can go that route. That and the kitbashed late era Marignon and Ulm.

I just 'block images from foo' with my firefox. It's quick, and without the 'carpet bombing' effect of blocking all signatures. Some of them are funny.

Two signature images/servers blocked so far.

Other of them would be mine. Hmm. I wonder if it is too large.
