I took the .tga from the Illwinter site. Is that the right one? It's a .rar by the way.

That is the right TGA

god ulm sucks ;p

how you think i died so quick in my last mp game if you want advice i say go with a E6ish f4ish pretender and try to get high construction quickly forconstucts/booster items and when youve maxxed or nearly maxxed construction go for enchantment for the earthblood well if you can (and spam out the big construction things like iron dragons and seige golems) also you could try taking less fire and then taking some astral for golems

ps: never underestimate the power of magma eruption

heh, i don't really think that strat quite addresses my concerns, though I am a big fan of magma erruption - however only 1 of ulm's 3 themes really has that as an option.

I guess my main problem w/ Ulm is that they don't really have a second act - heck, they barely have a first.

if you can get forge of the ancients up and have some decent magic on your pretender you can crank out plenty of SCs and if nothing else crushers can be a screen for magma erupting mages and despite what people tell you build ALOT of troops early game because if you are rushed by a magic nation you will most likely die

Ulm is really strong in the early game with harder magic research. Be really aggressive in the early game - your artifacts should make that particularly easy. And then cross your fingers that you find some good magic sites so you have some decent mages to build your mid/late game on.

well, no, I don't have a problem w/ their artifacts - just ulm themselves - don't you worry i'll be putting the hurt on whoever first tries to cramp my style ;p
