Jaif, Ulm's armies are a joke :-)

I haven't played a lot, and have no MP exposure.

I did play ulm a lot in Dom II. I did that for the atmosphere, and had a lot of fun. Btw, the answer I came up with was not to mix arbs and ulms infantry. I either used arbs with cheap troups, or more often infantry with cheap archers.

But I think we're agreeing here - tien chi's military (ignoring the magic) is better than ulm's.

Btw, I should say I very much favor the opening game. A bad opening means you lose (unless there's heavy politics, which I don't get in SP). A good opening leaves tons of possibilities. I'm just trying to figure out what to do with XXXX-2 at the start of the game, and there really isn't much. I guess the smart thing is to work to conj-6 (celestial soldiers) and const-4 before I worry much about magic aiding the expansion.
