Can those who have the game now...

Yes, I think most of us are.

I have mostly been interested in the new Ermor themes, and trying out various things with them. Soul Gate seems very nice to start with - *starting* with ethereal troops is quite the advantage - though at this point I haven't seen any sacred troops. Ashen Empire Ermor, though, with the Knights of the Unholy Citadel and a pretender that is loaded with magic (Ermor has lots of points) may be even better. Though I don't think their base priests have a "Bless" spell, I'm sure that can be worked around
