| | {{monsters:0198_Ghoul.png?nolink}} | ??Ghoul#198?? | Land Only | Not Amphibious. No Prot and low Damage make them a liability in combat. They are not Mindless nor undisciplined, meaning they have Siege Defense that MA Ermor otherwise lacks. | | | {{monsters:0198_Ghoul.png?nolink}} | ??Ghoul#198?? | Land Only | Not Amphibious.

| | {{monsters:0197_Soulless.png?nolink}} | ??Soulless#197?? | Any province | No Prot, high Hp, and abysmal Damage make them more likely to Hp Rout your armies than help. Can sometimes function as "Evo Bait" due to the aforementioned traits, if the rest of the army is healthy enough to survive their loss. | | | {{monsters:0197_Soulless.png?nolink}} | ??Soulless#197?? | Any province | No Prot, high Hp, and abysmal Damage make them more likely to Hp Rout your armies than help.

| | {{monsters:0191_Longdead.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead#191?? | Any province | Capable of fighting well enough, their 16 Damage and good Attack Skill make them capable of killing many non-elite things. Extremely low Hp means they will quickly succumb to Aoe effects and passive abilities like Fire Shield, and lower than usual Magic Resistance means they will easily die to some versions of Banishment. | | | {{monsters:0191_Longdead.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead#191?? | Any province | Capable of fighting well enough, their 16 Damage and good Attack Skill make them capable of killing many non-elite things.

| | {{monsters:0195_Longdead.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead#195?? | Any province | Much lower Damage at 13, has a Length 3 weapon, otherwise same as above. Additional survivability from having and avoiding Repel is not useful enough to make a difference in the vast majority of cases. | | | {{monsters:0195_Longdead.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead#195?? | Any province | Much lower Damage at 13, has a Length 3 weapon, otherwise same as above. Additional survivability from having and avoiding Repel is not useful enough to make a difference in the vast majority of cases. | |

| | {{monsters:0189_Longdead_Horseman.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Horseman#189?? | Land Only | Light Lances hit for 18 damage on their first landed hit, then 13 after that. Hoof always hits for 13. Horsemen hit the hardest out of all MA Ermor's troops barring sacreds, especially with their Piercing damage type on the Light Lance. Defense Skill and halved Defense Harassment from being Mounted is still not enough to give them much survivability in most cases. | | | {{monsters:0189_Longdead_Horseman.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Horseman#189?? | Land Only | Light Lances hit for 18 damage on their first landed hit, then 13 after that. Hoof always hits for 13. Horsemen hit the hardest out of all MA Ermor's troops barring sacreds, especially with their Piercing damage type on the Light Lance. Defense Skill and halved Defense Harassment from being Mounted is still not enough to give them much survivability in most cases. | |
| | {{monsters:0184_Knight_of_the_Unholy_Sepulchre.png?nolink}} | ??Knight of the Unholy Sepulchre?? | Any province | tba | | | {{monsters:0184_Knight_of_the_Unholy_Sepulchre.png?nolink}} | ??Knight of the Unholy Sepulchre?? | Any province | Sacred. At base strength, their Lance hits once for 27 Piercing damage. Broad Sword and Hoof hit for 17 and 13 damage respectively. With 16 base body Prot and 16 Defense Skill with halved harassment from mounted they can survive quite well against foes without AoE attacks like Banishment or other such Spells. Due to only being able to acquire them on rare rolls from passive spawns, they are very hard to build a bless around, compared to the comparatively plentiful Lictors, though consistently a few of them will spawn in any given game. | |
| | {{monsters:0186_Longdead_Velite.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Velite#186?? | Fortification Only | tba | | | {{monsters:0186_Longdead_Velite.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Velite#186?? | Fortification Only | Has a Javelin and Tower Shield, otherwise near identical to a naked Spear Longdead. Javelins can be useful for being able to add some ability to attack while behind other Longdead, though still only deal 13 damage. | |
| | {{monsters:0187_Longdead_Legionnaire.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Legionnaire#187?? | Fortification Only | tba | | | {{monsters:0187_Longdead_Legionnaire.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Legionnaire#187?? | Fortification Only | Functionally same as above, but with some low Prot armor. | |
| | {{monsters:1657_Longdead_Triarius.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Triarius#1657?? | Fortification Only | tba | | | {{monsters:1657_Longdead_Triarius.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Triarius#1657?? | Fortification Only | Has a 15 Damage Long Spear with Length 4, as well as 16 Prot armor and a Tower Shield. While a good fighter they still have very low Hp and Magic Resistance, therefore using "Evo Bait" to draw fire away from them is useful. | |
| | {{monsters:1658_Longdead_Principe.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Principe#1658?? | Fortification Only | tba | | | {{monsters:1658_Longdead_Principe.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Principe#1658?? | Fortification Only | Functionally same as a Longdead Legionnaire, but with a 16 damage Short Sword instead of a 14 damage Spear. | |

| | {{monsters:0260_Censor.png?nolink}} | ??Censor#260?? | | | {{monsters:0260_Censor.png?nolink}} | ??Censor#260?? | None | See: Passively Summoned, Commanders | |
| | {{monsters:0256_Acolyte_of_Eldregate.png?nolink}} | ??Acolyte of Eldregate#256?? | | | {{monsters:0256_Acolyte_of_Eldregate.png?nolink}} | ??Acolyte of Eldregate#256?? | {{path>H1}} | Potentially useful as a early game way to build a temple, if your Prophet is somehow busy. Once a first temple is built on a province that can recruit indie ??Priest#240??s to function as H1 reanimators they cease to be particularly useful. Can potentially serve as a very expensive Undead leadership option. As with all Undead with Priest levels they cannot Preach. | |
| | {{monsters:0257_Bishop_of_Eldregate.png?nolink}} | ??Bishop of Eldregate#257?? | | | {{monsters:0257_Bishop_of_Eldregate.png?nolink}} | ??Bishop of Eldregate#257?? | {{path>H2}} | Functionally identical to above, but with H2 reanimation options and spell access. | |
| | {{monsters:0258_Arch_Bishop_of_Eldregate.png?nolink}} | ??Arch Bishop of Eldregate#258?? | | | {{monsters:0258_Arch_Bishop_of_Eldregate.png?nolink}} | ??Arch Bishop of Eldregate#258?? | {{path>H3}} | Requires D3 to be cast. Very important tool, as it is able to cast Battlefield Wide Unholy Blessing, and can consistently reanimate 1 Lictor every turn as a reanimation option when not leading armies. | |
| | {{monsters:0254_Spectator.png?nolink}} | ??Spectator#254?? | | | {{monsters:0254_Spectator.png?nolink}} | ??Spectator#254?? | {{path>D2}} | While some Spectators are always useful for their ability to can cast a variety of "workhorse" rituals like ??Summon Lictor??, as well as craft items like ??Black Laurel??s and ??Skull Staff??s, their combat utility is very limited compared to Dusk Elders. Combat spells like the anti-Undead ??Dust to Dust?? and ??Control the Dead?? are useful enough but very niche. The summoning capabilities of ??Horde of Skeletons?? and ??Raise Dead?? (as well as their lower research alternatives) are less useful than they are on other nations since MA Ermor usually has enough indie ??Priest#240??s to reanimate often literally hundreds of Longdead every turn and consistent counters to that will usually never be swayed by the addition of even more Longdead in battle. ??Disintegrate?? is as always a very impressive spell, and if the game manages to go long enough to get to Research Level 8 for MA Ermor, a nation infamous for having slow, gem-based researchers, then Spectators once again become a very good tool in the late game. | |
| | {{monsters:0253_Dusk_Elder.png?nolink}} | ??Dusk Elder#253?? | | | {{monsters:0253_Dusk_Elder.png?nolink}} | ??Dusk Elder#253?? | {{path>F1S1D3}} \\ + 100% FAWESD\\ + 10% FAWESD | Requires D3 to cast. Dusk Elders are expensive, but by far the best mage Ermor has in terms of "workhorse" combat spells that can be consistently cast to good effect, such as ??Bane Fire??, ??Cloud of Death??, ??Drain Life??, and can access even higher path levels with a gem and a turn spent on ??Power of the Spheres?? for spells like ??Pillar of Fire??, and ??Vortex of Unlife??. Even a single Dusk Elder can provide great utility to a large stack of Longdead with spells like ??Rigor Mortis??, ??Darkness??, and ??Antimagic?? (Keep in mind that any S1 can cast Antimagic with Power of the Sphere and two gems, and that Rigor Mortis and Darkness require a D4 to cast due to the maximum a mage only spending gems up to their path level to boost casting level and spend on spell for each cast). In addition to being the main combat mage for Ermor, they are also required for casting other Dusk Elders and Arch Bishops, needing either them or having a Pretender and/or Skull Staff. | |

| | {{monsters:0259_Lictor.png?nolink}} | ??Lictor#259?? | | | {{monsters:0259_Lictor.png?nolink}} | ??Lictor#259?? | Sacred. Can be amassed very quickly with the item ??Black Laurel?? plus the basic ??Reanimate Lictor?? Spell for 1 gem per saacred, and the Arch Bishop's Priest Reanimation. They have 29 damage Battleaxes with 13 attack, as well as 20 hp, 5 head prot, 19 body prot, and 14 Magic Resistance. These all at base, without a Bless for them. Due to being able to be fielded in relatively great numbers and their very good ability to fight they are considered my most to be The MA Ermor Sacred, with KotUS and Wailing Ladies passively benefiting from whatever bless is tailored to the Lictors instead of trying to cover all bases with a bless for all and losing the strength of any of them. Lictors not having a head armor is a notable problem, as well as their weakness to anti-Undead spells, but as the sole massable unit that Ermor can muster their faults have to be accepted and worked around. | |
| | {{monsters:0255_Wailing_Lady.png?nolink}} | ??Wailing Lady#255?? | | | {{monsters:0255_Wailing_Lady.png?nolink}} | ??Wailing Lady#255?? | Sacred. Extremely expensive on a nation with an intense need for Death Gems, Ethereal and 20 hp do very little to protect Wailing Ladies, who by and large will die unless they receive prot buffs like ??Iron Warriors??, ??Marble Warriors??, or the non-native pathed Nature spells of ??Wooden Warriors?? and Mass Protection. If however, the exorbitant price for them is paid and they survive to see combat, they do have a Wail attack that forces a whole square to pass a MR check or die (even Undead, Inanimate, and/or Mindless units), and even if they survive there is a Fear effect rider too. Ladies also have Stealthy, potentially allowing them to choose engagements for fights against SCs and Thugs when lead by Dusk Elder, but any such threat used against Ermor likely has a way to cut through theoretically infinite amounts of Longdead and will probably kill them before they fail an MR check. Again, at the judgement of 8 Lictors who can consistently deal 29+ damage every turn or 1 Wailing Lady, this unit is almost always a trap in terms of gem usage for multiplayer games. | |
| | {{monsters:0187_Longdead_Legionnaire.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Legionnaire#187?? | | | {{monsters:0187_Longdead_Legionnaire.png?nolink}} | ??Longdead Legionnaire#187?? | At a price of 50 for 15 gems, the spell ??Ermorian Legion?? would be a steal for many nations that would like functional chaff for a frontline. Given that any MA Ermor that survives to cast a level 6 spell likely produces literally hundreds of Longdead every single turn passively, purposefully spending gems to summon this unit is likely a waste of resources in a multiplayer game. | |
| | {{monsters:0628_Great_Lion.png?nolink}} | ??Great Lion#628??((Available to all nations with access to the pretender homerealm 7, Africa)) | | | {{monsters:0628_Great_Lion.png?nolink}} | ??Great Lion#628??((Available to all nations with access to the pretender homerealm 7, Africa)) | MA Ermor does not natively have Nature casters, and even if they did Great Lions are not worth 1 gem per unit with the Pretender Homerealm spell. They have a 17 and 15 damage at 13 attack skill, which with 10 defense skill and 13 morale doesn't fall into the usual flaw of animals in that they are easily repelled by even length 1 swords, but their decent offensive characteristics are failed by their undisciplined nature and having only 20 hp and 4 prot at size 3. Overall a passable (potentially even good) unit on near any nation that has been made absurdly expensive, and can't even be cast natively on MA Ermor. | |

Combined with a 1 month Immortality Reform time, high Mapmovement, Fear, good armor, and a Bane Blade, Etimmu can be thrown around as a Thug without any equipment or regard to his safety while still being able to reliably take provinces. Care should of course be taken with using him against nations with high Astral or Death mages, as ??Control the Dead??, ??Enslave Mind??, and ??Soul Slay?? are all ways he can be taken out permanently. | |

Among these is the ability to craft a ??Skullface?? while holding a ??Skull Staff?? for an additional Death magic booster. | |
