Defeating Ashen Ermor?

[Gandalf Parker]

My thoughts did go to assassination or charm right away (my favorite tactics) but its not one of the nations I remember having that ability natively.

Ermor does tend to have many troops led by few leaders so taking out the leaders and causing the troops to run away is a good tactic. I lacked a specific suggestion for that so I figured some more expert players would have one

I think their big army had about 40 leaders. Might be hard without fliers.

Yeah, Ermor gets all those freespawn commanders, so while they go down easy to assassination unless you reach some sort of "assassination attempts mass" you probably wont slow them down.

You have death casters, how high in death can you get?

I agree with Maerlande, don't let LA Ermor get big.

Do let us know how you go if you keep playing.

A fire mage, guarded by fire snakes or summer lions, and casting Fire Storm.
That's my favorite way to take care of those endless undead hordes (in SP): the whole army gets burned to cinders in 3-4 combat turns!
