Re: Forge of Ulm
The thing is, forge of Ulm can be cast early, before a lot of cross map mobility happens, and if you only border 4 guys, one of those being in a war already, you can bribe at least one of the other 3, and team up with him to eat the attacking neighbours. Also, if its cast early, it objectivly is not as much as a gamewinning threat as casting it later. And you can get away with some funny lightless lantern rushing if graphs are off.
That early, its not awfully likely that someone has an astral stash with your name written on it either. Nor is it particularly easy to get rid of a rainbow in his own dominion very early in the game.
