Given that, in other threads, LA-Ermor and LA-R'lyeh rank as the (muddy) #1/#2 powers, it is probably unwise to introduce them to the Middle Age.

Ever played Dom2 against Ashen Empire? It's quite beatable in MA.

Are your really serious? Taking one of the most feared age/nations and moving it DOWN one? In its own age it is difficult to deal with, what chance have these mortals against it as literal amateurs?

Completely serious. See the suggestions posted by the worthies who responded to you earlier. Ashen Empire has been beaten many times before.

As an LA-Ermor enthusiast, I humbly suggest you disband the thought as, anyone with Ermor prowress WILL conqueror the world.
Necessarily.

Previous evidence disagrees with you. And I assure you I have absolutely no intention of abandoning this little mod project. None whatsoever.

If I am wrong, feel free to chastise me.
Understand that I have been playing LA-Ermor for over a year.

You happen to be wrong, because many people played against Ashen Empire in Dominions 2, where all we had were the Middle Era nations (mostly) and Ashen Empire was by no means unstoppable. I've been involved with Dominions for several years now, ever since Dominions - PPP, first as a player and mapmaker, then a community documenter and for the past year and change as the moderator in charge of the bug reporting in addition to doing the community documentation on my own. I have a fairly long experience of the game and of its various aspects, so I suggest that I do know what I'm doing with this project.

In this thread I want to emphasize that LA-Ermor has NO PLACE in earlier ages, as in its own place it is difficult enough to deal with.

I would like to emphasize that Illwinter Games, the developer of the game, disagrees with you. See Gath Dev Diary thread on the forum and Kristoffer's encouragement for this mod earlier in the thread. In addition, several longtime players who are veterans of countless MP games, also disagree with you and have the numbers and earlier experience to back up what they say.

All of that said, nice getting to know you. New faces are always welcome.

Just be prepared to have your viewpoints challenged if you present them as unequivocally as you do.
