Early Ermor is a huge human empire that has not yet been corrupted by the dark magic of the Sauromancers.
Overview[edit]
Ermorian armies are infantry-heavy, well-shielded, and pack javelins practically everywhere. The strong equipment of its troops makes for a significant demand on resources.
Ermorian magic is very versatile, but in general weak; it can create mages in every path save Blood, but can only create level-2 (or better) mages in the form of Augur Elders. However, these (along with all the other mages save the two Bishops) can be recruited at any fort, making for a very large and expensive magic corps.

- Slinger
- Gold 7, Resources 2
- Slingers are the only dedicated Ermorian ranged troop. Unfortunately, slings are most definitely beat by short bows - which you can get from indies.
- Leve
- Gold 10, Resources 8
- Leve are basic light infantry, packing a spear and javelin weapon combination on a lightly-armored (by Ermor standards) frame.
- Accensus
- Gold 8, Resources 9
- Accensi, compared to Leve, have a reduced gold cost and a tower shield in exchange for poorer morale and attack skill.
- Rorarus
- Gold 10, Resources 13
- Rorari improve on the Accensus's body armor and, with their superior training, can form the bulk of Ermor's forces.
- Hastatus
- Gold 12, Resources 14
- Hastati replace the lower ranks' spear with a short sword, and add a bit more morale and defence skill.
- Principe
- Gold 15, Resources 16
- Principes continue the tradition of minor skill and equipment upgrades, gaining a heavier Lorica Squamata (body armor) and a bit more morale and skills.
- Triarius
- Gold 14, Resources 28
- Triarii get the strongest armor and the highest morale among regular Ermorian infantry, and trade out the weapon/javelin combo for a Long Spear, but are recruited suffering from Old Age - not a good thing for an infantryman.
- Lizard Auxiliare
- Gold 10, Resources 11
- This refugee from C'tis is equipped much like a Hastatus, but gains Poison Resistance 50, Cold Blooded, and Swamp Survival. Its morale, however, is unimpressive.
- Equite
- Gold 40, Resources 18
- While not quite as heavily-equipped as indy Heavy Cavalry, Equites are nonetheless solid contenders for the mid-to-heavy cavalry regime.
- Retiarius
- Gold 8, Resources 1
- Carrying a net but no shield, the Retiarius is dirt-cheap, but will only fight in one battle before automatically disbanding.
- Gladiator
- Gold 8, Resources 1
- The Gladiator's flail makes it a deadly offensive troop, but its refusal to fight more than one battle makes for poor strategic capability.
- Equite of the Sacred Shroud
- Gold 65, Resources 20
- Ermor's sole (and capital-only) sacred unit, these get a substantial stat boost and Recuperation compared to their plain brethren.
Commanders[edit]
- Scout
- Gold 20, Resources 3
- Ye basic stealthy infantryman.
- Assassin
- Gold 60, Resources 4
- Adds the ability to assassinate enemy commanders. Short Sword + Poison Dagger gives it some offensive bite.
- Centurion
- Gold 30, Resources 21
- With a Leadership of only 40, these basic commanders will probably be overlooked in favor of their elder siblings. Lack of a shield can be fixed by adding a magic shield.
- Legatus Legionis
- Gold 70, Resources 21
- The Legatus couples Leadership 120 with the Standard (10) effect, improving morale for nearby troops. His default equipment does not include a shield either.
- Acolyte
- Gold 40, Resources 1
- Magic: H1
- Ye basic priestly sort. Easily overshadowed by all the other Ermorian spellcasters.
- Flamen
- Gold 120, Resources 1
- Magic: F1H1 + 100% random (FAWEN)
- Provides a wide variety of magic at a reasonable price.
- Pontifex
- Gold 120, Resources 2
- Magic: F1H2
- A stronger priestly sort.
- Augur
- Gold 80, Resources 1
- Magic: F1S1
- Provides Astral magic and the Fortune Teller (5) ability, giving it some ability to prevent bad events in its province.
- Augur Elder
- Gold 250, Resources 1
- Magic: F2S1D2 +100% random (FASD) + 10% random (FASD)
- An older (it's got a substantial Old Age penalty), more powerful Augur. Same Fortune Teller ability as its younger brother.
- Bishop of the Sacred Shroud
- Gold 75, Resources 1
- Magic: H2
- With Recuperation and Healer (20), these can support troops very effectively.
- Arch Bishop of the Sacred Shroud
- Gold 180, Resources 1
- Magic: H3
- Between their Holy 3 magic, their Recuperation and their Healer (30) ability, these make very impressive priests - save for their Old Age.
Heroes[edit]
Starting Sites[edit]
- Temple of the Shroud
- Provides 3 Fire Gems and 3 Astral Pearls per turn, and allows the recruitment of "Equite of the Sacred Shroud", "Bishop of the Sacred Shroud", and "Arch Bishop of the Sacred Shroud".
National Spells[edit]
EA Ermor has no national spells or summons.
Strategies[edit]
Strategy A[edit]
Scale Design[edit]
As its Augur Elders are not sacred, they cost a substantial amount of gold, both to hire and to maintain. That they can be recruited anywhere you have a fortress is yet another drain on the coffers. So Order 3 is critical. Misfortune can be a source of points, given the capabilities of Augurs.
