LA Ermor vs. mass priests

I don't think priests respond to Fear by casting Sermon of Courage--at least, I've never seen them do so--and it only takes a couple of turns to Sermon of Courage the whole army anyway.

I do second the call for battlemagic. Depends upon what you've researched, but as time goes on the purpose of Ermorian chaff units is to screen for cavalry and get enemies to clump up so you can hit them with Shadow Blast/Cloud of Death/Banefire/etc.

You should have several armies available to you. Hit him in a lot of places at once- that should put a dent. Push your dominion at him as well- it should be cold and death, which will weaken his lizards. You should have plenty of temples anyways for freespawn- start preaching and raiding.

Ctis is hard with their great priest to defeat via direct battle.

Push life eating dominion on him. Send bane venom charms to eat population. Shades with baneblades. Time is on your side.

But *IS* time on Ermor's side? Ermor has essentially a finite amount of gold because of pop death (except for mines and alchemizing gems). If C'tis takes out an Ermorian temple, Ermor can't replace it. I have no experience with Ermor but I'm surprised they're not under time-pressure.
