Well Ulm's national troops should cut through Mictlan's national troops like they aren't even there, what with the Mictaln units being equipped with dinky little spears and slings and whatnot. But just like everybody else, Ulm's national troops can't stop a bunch of powerful summons or a SC by themselves. And the VQ sure seems to be the most difficult SC to counter.

What you really need are preists that can banish demons, but I don't imagine you have access to any except your Prophet. I think Ulm's best bet against this kind of threat is to research Construction and use your smiths' forge bonuses to build lots of magic weapons. The lifeless construct troops you can get from the Construction path would probably be useful against the VQ as well. But that's sort of a long-term strategy, I'm afraid. It sounds like it may already be too late for you to get a strong, magically-equipped force into the field.
