| | EA Ermor has good, solid troops, but they are expensive. |
| |
| ^ Sprite ^ Unit Name ^ Special Attributes ^ Comments ^ | ^ Sprite ^ Unit Name ^ Special Attributes ^ Comments ^ |
| | {{:nations:ea:generic_slinger.png?nolink}} | **??Slinger#50??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 7\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 3 | | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:generic_slinger.png?nolink}} | **??Slinger#50??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 7\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 3 | | A basic slinger unit and the nation's only dedicated ranged unit. Weak, but cheap. Easy to amass a lot of them. Can be helpful against glamoured units. They benefit a lot from buffs, like ??Flaming Arrows??. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:ermor:accensus.png?nolink}} | **??Accensus#1101??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 8 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 9 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 5 | | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:ermor:accensus.png?nolink}} | **??Accensus#1101??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 8 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 9 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 5 | | Siege chaff. A little expensive, even taking into account their defensive abilities which are higher than standard militia's. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:ermor:retiarius.png?nolink}} | **??Retiarius#11??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 10 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 9 | [[Levy]] | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:ermor:retiarius.png?nolink}} | **??Retiarius#11??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 10 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 9 | [[Levy]] | If they have hit or been hit, they will leave at the end of the battle. Useful for those deciding battle, such as scoring a decisive blow against the enemy's main army. Some people like to jumpstart expansion with them as well. ??Retiarius#11?? have a net, which can lock down a unit with low strength. The trident does a lot of damage, as well. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:ermor:gladiator.png?nolink}} | **??Gladiator#12??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 10 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 9 | [[Levy]] | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:ermor:gladiator.png?nolink}} | **??Gladiator#12??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 10 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 9 | [[Levy]] | If they have hit or been hit, they will leave at the end of the battle. Useful for those deciding battle, such as scoring a decisive blow against the enemy's main army. Some people like to jumpstart expansion with them as well. The gladiator's weapon does a lot of damage, especially because it hits twice. It also has a bonus against shields. | |

[[Swimming]] seems like it would be useful, but EA Ermor doesn't have a [[Swimming]] commander. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:ermor:hastatus.png?nolink}} | **??Hastatus#1103??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 11 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 14 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 12 | | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:ermor:hastatus.png?nolink}} | **??Hastatus#1103??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 11 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 14 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 12 | | Javelin throwers, with strong defenses, and good damage. Costs more in resources. | |

Can fit one more in a square for higher attack density and easier buffing. High [[Protection]], especially for the Early Age. The spear allows them to repel more often. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:ermor:standard2.png?nolink}} | **??Standard#2??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 20 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 14 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 21 | {{:abilities:standard.png?15&nolink}} [[Standard]] (1) | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:ermor:standard2.png?nolink}} | **??Standard#2??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 20 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 14 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 21 | {{:abilities:standard.png?15&nolink}}[[Standard]] (1) | EA Ermor's troops have generally high morale to begin with, but more is always helpful. | |

[[Recuperation]] keeps them from accumulating the [[Affliction|Afflictions]] that wear out other nation's Sacreds. They take a Bless reasonably well, they just don't have any special edge in battle. | |
