Which Nations Are Best for Turtling?

As it's very rarely that time is on LA Ermor's side once the mid-game is reached, as every nation is likely to be out-researching them. And no matter how many thousands of undead you have, they won't last too long if your opponents have mass killing evo spells or SC's. LA Ermor has to use the mid-game to go on the rampage, grab as much land, and do as much damage as possible before undead counters become both common place and numerous.

I disagree with this a little. I think the population killing goes a long way to helping turtle. The argument can be made that bags of wine and cauldrons of broth take care of that but not every nation gets access to those out of the box, and often not right away. Also, it is very easy for LA Ermor to get into the water, taking advantage of the suggested water turtling.
