That's because Ulm smiths don't get affected by drain.

Other magicians (from indipendents) get affected vry well as far as I know (from DOM1).

So "iron faith" with drain1 looks much better than standard Ulm with drain3, if you take away the smiths... .

And why can't you use "golem cult" with magic1 .. apart from having too few points in the race wizard? But than again what you're expecting - you'll have to pay for that golems somehow.

Things may be a bit unbalanced, but saying "it sucks" is a bit too much IMHO.

Maybe, but the Black Priests are crappy mages, and you have to pay the price of a good priest to get them ..With Drain 1 they only have 2-3 RPs, half of what a Smith get !

Additionnally they are only buildable at the capitol, in the early game you can't build much of them because you also need to build fighting commanders..

In the end IF Ulm looks unbalanced to me - or at least worse than standard Ulm, note also that you have to PAY for getting IF theme !
