MP Guide to LA Ermor - The Ashen Empire

[Loren]

Has something changed with the domain effects?

I decided to try what was in this thread in a SP game. It's working pretty well. I took dom 10, all scales terrible and gobs and gobs of magic on my lich queen.

It seems to be working pretty well but I'm seeing something I didn't expect. My core provinces are mostly down to 190 population--the *SAME* number in many provinces. With nobody dying I'm still getting as much freespawn as when there were thousands of people.

I'm also wondering why the #1 and #2 (in area, I am of course #1 in army size) empires both decided to pick on me even though I was #3, my domain wasn't pressing into either of their empires and there were plenty of weaker opponents out there.

Your freespawn isnt based on population but purely on dominion(iirc), if you want to make use of the corpses get some priests over to reanimate soulless. The AI is pretty stupid and usually quite aggressive so you should always be expecting them to attack you.

Shovah32 is right, LA Ermor's domain doesn't care about population or fresh corpses... it is happy raising corpses that might be hundreads or thousands of years old.

Now if you recruit a bunch of priests you can raise those fresh corpses and have even more!

I need to add a section for indy priests and update with Baalz's very handy info.

My memory sure was that the raising petered out once the population dropped to zero.

I also wish it would raise a few more commanders. It's annoying to have to send them back from the front lines to collect more troops.

Followup: I realized what's really going on.

As the population reaches zero the number of units out there is reaching the unit limits and so recruitment drops.

Something needs to be done about the unit limits with freespawn races!
