Wierdest battle i ever saw.

The weirdest fight I have seen was as Jotun. I took the pangean capital and was able to recruit a lizard shaman there- thought that was odd to begin with. First fight against heavy infantry and 50 au piece indie priests, he spams curse on all my own commanders! Next fight he curses himself? This is an ongoing game and something else weird happened. 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.
