The thing is, once you start talking about an Ermor who is fielding 5k+ armies you can't fight them with a war of attrition. You can't dump all your air gems into summoning 50 air elementals because there's just gonna be another army showing up on your doorstep in a few turns. For phantasmal summons you're gonna have to use waaaay too many mages to make it worthwhile. The real insidious thing about the undead is they...just...keep...coming!
Agreed

Yea if you are talking about a large game the amount of huge armies LA Ermor can field is pretty insane by the late game. Priests are only really helpful in the early game unless you mass some outrageous number (30+)? Battlefield wide spells like solar brilliance and undead mastery will cripple them quickly however and are the most cost effective solutions at that point. Communion/sabbath it up!

The real question is if your mages can reach the target armies before succumbing to assassination spells/thugs (at least that's the question in MP).

Another thing to try is to mass teleporting thugs to assault his undefended temples (he should have alot). This will hurt him a lot in the long run (but might not be enough to save you at the moment).
