Default Re: Southeast Vampire Rebels Win Again! Booooo Er

Pardon me for asking, but I have never played undead Ermor before. Exactly how do you get those sacred cavalry anyway? Do they simply show up for free among the normal cavalry?

And yes, the wars have been fun. Though they were not at first when it looked like you were going to blitz me so fast. But, as you say, having an army size of 300 it not as scary from Ermor as it is with any other nation. When I finally won the first big battle, it was truly sweet!

One thing you did for me was to keep my empire fairly small, which translates into quick turns. And easy turns are a very nice thing for me right now with all that is going on in my life!

Those sacred cavalry just show up at any castle in Ashen Empire. They are quite nice, but far from invincible. I enjoyed the Wights more when I played my one AE game (it wasn't that much fun... AI doesn't build enough priests... and you just throw giant piles of garbage everywhere and you win)

As Morkilus says you get the knights of the sepulchre as freespawns when you have a castle (and a temple i believe).
But it is problematic.
First AE kills population really quick. So you are most likely not getting much income from indy provinces, you have to get that later from other nations by outrunning your dominion.
Second there is the commander problem, it is huge with Ermor.
They pop up too rarely as freespawns. And to get the bless effect you need to use priests, imho its best to use an archbishop with lvl 4 for battlefield wide bless. But he costs 20 Deathgems.

I was summoning many archbishops though, they reanimate those normal longdead horsemen.

Ermor is just one dimensional, and my build even more ;(.
