Concerning mods

Just on a side note, the new theme for Ulm (Black Forest) is fun. The patch is suppposed to be released very, very soon now, and I'm curious what everybody's reaction will be to this particular theme. It is an Ulm of a different flavor.

Ents! Ents!

I was just thinking about an Ulm mod today, "Ulm Lite", where they wore lighter armor. High quality full ringmails and tower shields, made of lighter and stronger steel... more protection for less encumbrance (but more resources!). Ulm Black Steel seems strong, but heavy and stiff - it can only be made into plates. But replace their Dwarven smiths with Elven smiths... Maybe there would even be special troops with lead helmets and full leather armor woven with silver thread, to boost their magic resistance above average...

I'm also thinking of a "Stone Age" theme. Ulmians remind me of Neanderthals=) They'd have a size-3 trampler, the guy rolling a giant stone wheel. Such high technology would be pricey, though... or maybe he'd be a nation hero instead...
