Default Re: Ermor Era Switch Mod - General Interest?

I have seen at least two game threads in which the host straight out banned
LA Ermor and R'lyeh. In my personal opinion, Ermor is not unbalanced, just
extremely scary. R'lyeh, on the other hand is simply nuts.

Single water nation with massively amphibious units, defensive dominion,
autospawn, clamming ability, extra summoning ability, full slots thuggable
commanders, best mages in the age, insane magic resistance, the two most
powerful paths at reasonable levels...

When I first looked at it, I went 'Huh?'.

I went back to look at them, and to see whether they are as insane as I
rememebered... So I found out some more advantages that I had missed:
communionable priests, amphibious net using troops, mindless tramplers.

Does anyone believe that the dominion is bad enough to balance ALL these
disavantages? From my tests, growth 3 is enough to counteract the population
killing effect, and the insanity effect is no worse that let say Pythium's
old age problems. Of course, the insanity affects invaders MUCH worse than
it does R'lyeh.
