After taking the Ulm capital I could recruit ghoul guardians (unsure of name) and fortune tellers . that cant be right

That part is quite normal actually. Ulm Dark Forest gets Ghoul Guardians, Fortune Tellers and Wolfherds as its capital only units, and you should be able to recruit them when you take over Ulm's capital.

I've not played Ulm BF, but in general, you cannot recruit the national troops of other nations even after you've taken their capital (unlike in Warlords).

Sorry; I meant the troops recruitable in a single site. Aren't these carried over when the capital falls? I was under this impression myself, but that mostly comes from toying with special sites as I do not take capitals that often.

One way or another, before 2.13 Black Forest Ulm units coming from their home sites were not working as intended. So either you can recruit them in 2.13, or you could recruit them in 2.12. That is according to the bug fixes for the 2.13 patch, which states that "Ulm black forest home site units not recruitable by others."

No. You are not supposed to be able to recruit from another nation's special site(s) in their capital.

It was obviously that time of the month for those blood slaves... causing them to be violent and irrational beyond belief.

Compared to men, who are "violent and irrational beyond belief" regardless of what phase the moon is in.

I stand corrected Divine Arryn, and I now realise the errors of my ways. Please accept my pitiful excuses, for I have precious little knoewledge compared to you, Magnificent Arryn. *Grovels and curses these contracts about "unconditional" surrender and the like*

What Frosted Flake described may have happen before the 2.13 patch then (though I have no clue about the Pangaea matter). Oh, and men are actually affected by the phase of the moon; it is simply difficult to see the subtle line between "violent" and "truly unbelievably violent". And the same goes to "irrational beyond belief", as I have been successfully proving on these very Boards.

Men usually do tend to be more violent then women but not more irrational. It is possible for men to be irrational when attracted to a beautiful female. Yet throughout the history of mankind men have been the rulers/inventors within kingdoms and countries 99% of the time. If men were more irrational then many inventions throughout time would be by women instead of men.
