Re: Help, I suck with Ulm!
Heh, it's funny that the commonly perceived strongest in our current game is complaining about being ineffective. I posted here a few days ago because I feel ineffective too. It's obviously a newbie game  Of course, I have a much better claim to ineffectiveness in the game than you.
Anyway, I wouldn't sweat it too hard. I think the army I ran into a turn ago could do a fair number on Man. Plus, once all of his normal troops are gone, those bladewinds are going to start chewing through his elite troops. Personally, I was very impressed by your many well-equipped commanders. I think a group of 3-5 Black Knight commanders, well-equipped, along with a small supporting cast of Black Knights, could do some serious damage. Heck, even your barbarian commanders were pretty serious powerhouses with all of the equipment. I was just lucky to have black hunters with death poison.
I don't really know a good counter to Wrathful Skies, though. What does Construction 7 give? Mechanical Men? Those are pretty nice. I have had surprisingly good success with Mechanical Militia in another game. Enchantment 5 can grant Thunder Ward, but that requires you to have an Air mage to begin with.
