Ermor should cast Burden of Time or Utterdark that would be pretty cool.

Sure, just send me some gems for it

I only have like 50 or so I need them to pump out Shuras and Horror Helms I wish I could find a site or 2 for astral pearls right now I'm stuck turning all my nature gems into them.

   So I have to ask. Why wavebreaker? I don't think my single sea provinces requires even that much to conquer. I must admit it is basically pointless at this time as I managed to dip my toes into the water just in time for all the water in the area to be taken.

No idea I was just following the guide

Just stick them with a few magic items, like a Wavebreaker, Horror Helmet, Chainmail of Displacement, Winged Shoes, Anti-Magic Amulet, and Luck Pendant, and watch them go.

maybe I should just go with a bane blade or something

Oh look, Rl'yeh is at the gates.

You built the tower of Babel in my back yard and the charade had to end.

Edit: So how easy is it to stop the big spells like Eye of God or Arcane Nexus I've only mess with Mother Oak and stuff vs AI and they don't really do anything about it

Basically, if you spend as many extra gems(above the base price) casting dispel as was put in casting the target ritual, then you have 50% chance of success.
Say, somebody casts, oh I don't know, Forge of the Ancients maybe. FotA costs 80 earth gems to cast. If the caster has put a total of 100 gems(extra 20) into the spell, then casting dispel with 45(+20 over base) gives you 50% chance of success. Each path level the caster has above the base requirement counts as extra 5 gems put into the spell.
All rituals, I think, are more expensive than dispel, so it's always easier to remove the ritual than it is to cast it. At least in principle.

I don't remember what is the gem difference that grants 100%* success chance. This information should be buried somewhere on the wiki or in the manual.

*iirc, there's also an open-ended die roll added to both the ritual and the dispel strength calculations, so there's always a bit of uncertainty there.

Large friendly casualties are expected when playing Ermor but that was impressive.

Cheers. We're just getting started.

And some just work right away right?
Say you use Eye of God then someone casts Fate of Oedipus then you just wasted a bunch of stuff for nothing right?
Kinda seems like most of the big stuff are just a waste of gems.

Well, it takes a turn to notice the global and then counter it, so in some cases it might be worth casting even for one turn(like with the Forge). With other spells, it's a question of whether or not you care all that much. Would you waste 75 fire gems(fate of Oedipus cost) to remove a spell that while useful, is not a game breaker?
With Utterdark etc., most of the players will usually pool their gems to dispel it, so unless there's a huge amount of extra gems put into it, one shouldn't expect it to last.

[Alkhemia]

So they are mostly just for fun and to let's say flex your power since if you can cast the big stuff you must have the power to back it up.

It seems like my commanders are going out of their way to find new and exciting ways to get horror marked.

[Alkhemia]

So many attacks was pretty cool I think all of the attacks on me failed though you did kill one of my Shura I'll have to make more this time.

Edit: Ulm that Iron Angel pretty sweet 

[Mrhappyface]

Oh, you'll be seeing more of them. 
Edit: Well not you, in particular Japan. I like your animes and sushi.

[Alkhemia]

hmm no one is this game is messing with blood magic I would assume well maybe the zombie. 

[Margrave]

Blood magic is a harsh mistress  that demands payment up front and still won't let you lick her boots.

...what I'm trying to say is that unless your nation is pretty blood dependent it's not worth getting into. Also a real pain to find indie blood mages. LA Marignon I hear is a fantastic blood nation and I have yet to really try it.

[Mrhappyface]

Well Amazons are pretty good blood mages. They have random paths, so they don't require a lab.
