Regarding patch 3.15

[Sombre]

Bear in mind that means Ermor's dominion is more painful for others as well. The change effectively makes them more extreme than ever - even more likely to get mass ganked in MP before they can ruin half the map,.. and yet who would want to invade that?

[Aezeal]

hehe maybe there should be more incentive on invading Ermor later on? Now it's kill it quick or try it later and if you succeed you'll have about 1K pop in his whole empire

On the other hand, do you really want to get into an early war with Ermor, given that even if you do win, the territory you grab is worth much less than land you might have taken from someone else?

Maybe, if you can take him out quickly and use those lovely death gems from his capitol.

Gath was one of the five cities of the Philistines, a possibly Indo-European tribe which warred with the Hebrews. You might have heard of one of their national heroes, Goliath. (He'll probably be more effective in Dom 3, when you can forge him a black steel helmet and avoid those irritating sling stones to the head - although he's also a good example of the principle that heroes *can* be taken down by lucky shots from some untrained slinger fresh from the sheep pasture, just like happens annoyingly often in Dom3. )

They apparently had iron-working technology before many surrounding peoples did, although that may or may not be reflected in the Dom3 version.
