Help, I suck with Ulm!

It wasn't only 2 or 3 against 50, but he had a fair bit more Sidhe (turn is past now, and I can't go back and see it), probably on the order of 30 to 7 or 8 black knights.

That's not the point, however; if you are playing any respectable opponent against whom you can obtain an equal number of black knights as they can get sidhe, I'd like to know your secret.


I might add that this is an issue for me because I really like the idea of Ulm; in a game of magic, having a side that is steel and drain is pretty cool, but they should be able to hang tough with the magic Users, which they seem incapable of (I understand I'm a novice player, but I so far I haven't seen any other great advice). It seems as though what is supposed to be their main strength, the much vaunted black plate infantry and knights, isn't really that great. They don't hold out that much longer (if at all, when you factor in magic), as other nations troops, particularly such as hoplites, which have pretty decent armor themselves, at a lower cost.
