AI opponents lack of researching

True, hense the 'usually'... still Ulm early on isn't as likely as someone else to go research crazy (at least from my experience), and their two themes don't seem research friendly at all.

Ulm gets a great deal of benefit from research in Conjuration (Earthpower, fall bears, trolls), Evocation (Magma bolts, blade wind, magma eruption), Construction (dwarven hammers, earth boots, lightless lanterns, clockwork horors, crushers, iron dragons, etc.), enchantment (forge of the ancients, etc.), and thaumaturgy (earth searching spells).
