Thats being said, in any game setting not geared too much toward blitzing, Ulm main theme is the weakest nation for me. So straightfoward that its like you have complete intelligence on his armies, and what they can do. Early one Ulm is better to capitalize on his strong HI, because the advantage wont Last long.

I had the most fun with Marignon. There is a plentiful of things to perform with them.

C'mon Pocus, Ulm ain't that weak... or is it ?
As you said it's rather than Ulm is not flexible, and so usually quite predictable. Sometimes you can do funny things with them but only if you get indie mages to "flexibilize" your magic.

You're rather MP-oriented, and indeed lack of flexibility is a big drawback in MP. But in SP it's not true, the AI doesn't counterplan your strategy, and Ulm has tough troops and easily usable magics (Earth = protection buff, Fire = Kaboom on enemies )that are Ok vs AIs.
