Re: Swarm: What do you do against it?

Had once similar trouble with summon imps. Staff of Storms helped quite a bit, for it keeps the annoying fliers on ground and they crawl slower than the other bad guys. Works until the opponent sets his druids up front. If you can build that.
Since you're playing Ulm, blade wind (or any low-damage mass spell)? You don't have to worry too much about friendly fire, Ulmians being well protected from all light ammo.
Or then, summons of your own? This of course depends on mages you've got available.
Not too much expertise under my belt, but those are things I'd try.
