How to beat Late Age Ermor?

course ermor also did get some nasty spells active while i was busy using my astral gems elsewhere. They managed to get utterdark and burden of time up for about 10 turns before i could dispel them.

If you're playing Bogarus I would probably try to forge some large communions with Occultists leading them. Cast power of the spheres, and forge some death boosters after forge hopping your way up to getting a ring of sorcery so that you can pump out the boosters off of a Staret with a D random.

Once you have a good deal of occultists leading a large communion, they'll get a boost to skill from the communion, from power of the spheres, and from the death boosters. Make sure to have someone holding an astral banner to make each casting of power of the spheres/communion master cheaper. Then spam wither bones. It should devestate large groups of enemy undead. Just set your units to guard commander. I would use the city guard units if you can afford it, otherwise use the spearmen. Both have decent morale, defense, and shields.

You can also do the same thing with alchemists if you want to cast blade wind instead. The nice part about that is that you have summon earth power as an earth booster in addition to earth boots and power of the spheres.

In any case, if you're playing Bogarus and you're not using communions to spit out crazy battle magic, you're doing it wrong.

Also, I couldn't seem to manage to wrap my head around LA Ermor personally, until I played them.

I sort of tend to think that, ultimately, their dominion just kills pop a little too quickly. I mean, seriously within like 5 turns of the first candle, you are looking at 10-20 pop. If you took 50% of the map, and they took the other 50%, you'd better be an incredibly skilled player, or they will crawl all over you.
