Re: The New Hinnom Nation
I may actually consider using the province attack rituals against Hinnom. Research Alt 4 and you can start bombarding their capital and fortresses with pop killing spells, and they'd probably have a really hard time recovering, rendering their troop production centers useless pretty quickly. Blight, E2D1 at 5 gems is probably the best choice if you have E/D mages, Wolven Winter at W3 for 5 gems is a little harder if you don't have access to water but not to boosters.
There's some other ones either higher up research or require a more powerful mage, like Black Death or Volcanic Eruption, but those probably come too late in the game to be a real strategy. Baleful Star and Melancholia though would be helpful to cast once on each city you're doing this on, if you can cast them. But I could see casting these spells with 5-10 mages (you can do that right?) for a few turns on key provinces and crippling the whole nation because they can't grow the pop back if they want to continue to use the fortress to produce troops.
Unless the mechanics work differently? I'm actually not so sure how pop effects production, I haven't played Ermor in a very long time. Supplies and income will be an issue if not so perhaps hitting their high pop lands instead would be better. Their capital at a minimum almost certainly will never recover, I don't know if that's worth pursuing though.
