| ===== Notable Units ===== | ===== National Units ===== |
| | MA Ermor cannot natively recruit any units or commanders whatsoever. Instead, Ermor relies on rituals, freespawn and indies to form its mage corps and armies. |
| FIXME General description of the units in the nations rooster, any standouts, shared qualities aka temperature, any foreign rec, what makes a good basis for planning around | |
| | |
| ==== Commanders ==== | ==== Commanders ==== |
| For the sake of brevity, here's all the traits that Ermor's National Commanders share: | In addition to those traits listed, all Ermorian commanders share the following traits: |

Higher priest level allows the priest to summon more elite undead. Of these, Arch Bishops are perhaps the most effective use of death gems as they can cast battlefield-wide (un)holy magic, claim thrones, and reanimate sacred ??Lictor??s on the side. | |

Has some potential as a light thug, although death mages or priests can cheaply counter them. \\ \\ You start with one. [[Empowerment]] will make it able to summon Dusk Elders, and this requires {{gems>45D}}; or you can spend {{gems>10D}} for a ??Skull Staff??, if you wish to save Gems via [[Research]]. | |

Occasionally provides access to the coveted {{misc:magic:air.png?14&nolink}}{{misc:magic:death.png?14&nolink}} crosspath. The single level of {{misc:magic:astral.png?14&nolink}}astral magic makes the Dusk Elder very weak to ??Magic Duel??, especially since MA Ermor has no other astral mages outside of any indies one is lucky enough to stumble upon. \\ \\ These are also the most cost-effective Researchers Ermor has, slightly better for their price than the ??Revenant??. | |
