>5. Armies - Can anyone give an example, playing as Ulm, what their favorite Army Groups looked like....
Front: Blocks of HI. From capital, Guardians. From other forts, either Pikeneer or Battleaxe (pro-15 Version). Pike for light enemies, axe for armored enemies. Sometimes a block of Black Knights if I anticipate having to block size-3 tramplers like Minotaurs or Shambler Thralls.
Behind: Missile troops from independent conquests. Anything I can get that can be produced in bulk. Shortbow, longbow, crossbow, it's all good.
Add: Master Smiths, casting Summon Earth Power, Legions of Steel, Strength of Giants. Sometimes Blade Wind, Magma Eruption, or Earth Meld.
That's Ulm 101, and it's pretty good.
