PhilD, only the first 10 points of Ulm PD are Arbalest (not 20). The 10 next points are Ulm Infantry : so 20 pts of Ulm PD makes a very nice and effective force.

That's not what the manual (p9) says: it lists "Crossbowmen" as the unit from 1 to 19, and "Heavy Infantry" 20+

And in a current game, I have 11 Ulm PD everywhere, and when I get attacked, I'm almost positive that only the Mechanical Militiamen rush to the front.

Edit: I have the game running right now. 11 Crossbowmen it is, plus a Priest and 11 Mechanical Men, one of them a commander (all provided by my Mechanical Militia, of course). That's with 11 PD.

Ulm Crossbowmen use Arbalests, which are really just big cranked-up crossbows.

I just finished a sort of experimental SP game where I played Ulm. I saw my PD tested many times, and Ulmish PD definitely packs a whollop. Offhand, I'm not sure there are any better, save for those of Jotunheim.

Anyway, getting a Crossbow per point up to 20 and then an Infantryman per point after that matches what I was seeing. Lots of bolts flying across the screen and a few of those little Ulmish blue-clad guys chasing after them towards the enemy.

Also, iirc, you get your second comm at 20, not 21. You'll notice Ulm gets its Commander (or the Priest, but I could swear it's the Commander) at exactly 20 PD.

And I think Jotunheim is an absolute waste after 20 PD. 1/2 a Hurler? LAME.



The first 19 kick, tho
