Re: Ermor / Ashen Empire: How to get dominion ?
Another (but harder to do) way to help with Ermor dominion: If you can get some living units as holy/unholy priests, they can preach even though your undead ones can't.
It seems that if you purchase the standard independent H2 priests they become U1 unholy priests. Even with a temple they can't boost your domion very high, but they can help a bit with negative dominion. The big problem is that 50 gold plus their upkeep is a lot for Ermor to spend for a U1 priest, and other indy mage/priests cost even more.
There's Contact Harbinger, giving a 2A/3H Harbinger, and later on, Angelic Host, which gives a F3/H4 Arch Angel if you can swing the necessary 3S or 5S to cast them. (I don't know if they convert to unholy)
Another later-game summon, the Coatl is a very useful 3S/3N/3H for 40 nature gems and no upkeep, if you can find a spectre or something to cast it. (Again, I don't know if it converts to unholy-2 or something).
I wonder if Telestic Animations can preach for Ermor? (and if they keep their H3 or convert to unholy?)
In my SG Ermor game, I receieved an H3 priest (unfortunately with a batch of militia) as a lucky event. He was still H3, not converted to unholy.
Other thoughts:
- Go after enemy temples when you spot them. Try using the remote attacks like Arouse Hunger and Ghost Riders if they are in weakly defended provinces.
- Stone Idols can help pull down enemy dominions.
- For late game, Juggernauts can help spread dominion as well, if you can cast/afford them.
