They are nice but BF Ulm has enough limitations, I wouldn't think they were over-powered. I am not a veteran but still, I have never seen BF Ulm win an MP game, I think. To be fair, they aren't the most commonly played nation but that might be a fair secondary indicator too.
The thing about Vampire Counts is that they are available so early. Sure, they aren't as good as a Vampire Lord, but the Vampire Lord is blood-7, and the Vampire Count is a starting spell. You can start making Vampire Lords as soon as you can gather enough blood (and BF-Ulm has plenty of blood).
Don't you just _hate_ when a thread is completely hijacked? I know - it was hijacked in the distant past, and y'all are just responding to the old, NOT Posts. Guess I should've started a _new_ thread about CotS, with a link to the old thread.
