I am actually only first in research (and not by far, Man is close), and this advantage is naturally coming to its end (there are lots of indie mages on this map so around t60 most nations will have levels 9 in their favorite schools).

Hah, I'm consistently last almost everywhere (maybe not dominion). And don't worry about Man. He's wasting the fruit of his Conjuration/Construction level to death against Eriu for some reason.

Ermor has more provinces, troops and gem income than me. Then I probably have more SCs ready than anyone but I have also far more ennemies, with about 3 times my army size against me if I count Ermor. So nothing desperate for the other powers, especially as if I lose the isle it will be with so many things that I may be out of the race for several years (may mean a long game as no one else scored a VP yet).

Ermor has big armies of longdead horsemen which will have big problems against serious opposition. Not meaning Eriu wasn't serious, but I didn't pick the right troops to begin with, and was pitiful in research, so I couldn't cast much in terms of battlefield affecting spells, and I couldn't get enough chaff to replace my much needed meatshields.
Of course within 10 turns, Ermor has enough land and gems to put up nasty stuff, but I wouldn't fear its score graph if I were you, but the fact that it's got huge resources and land.
R'lyeh still owns lots of land too, and I doubt anyone will strike them considering Arcoscephale's current popularity.
I mean, even I think of attacking Arcoscephale.
