Some questions on LA Ermor

[Gregstrom]

The rule of thumb is that alchemising for money is a Bad Thing.

OTOH Ermor can get themselves serious cashflow issues with little to no effort, so I can see why you might want to do this.

The free sacreds are nice, but I think they're still essentially chaff. S on your pretender is normally a valid choice, so I could see a minor bless being beneficial. And of course D4 isn't exactly unlikely on an Ermor pretender anyway. So why not?

While most of the advice in this thread is good, I would suggest reading Velusion's Ermor Stregy guide before playing them it in MP. While the guide might be a little out of date the concepts are completely valid and nessesary for Ermorian victory. I have used those guidelines to acheive status as a major world power as Ermor, and you can too. This is the link:
