Hi everyone, new Dom 2 player here.

Welcome to the forums.

1 What are my best troops, strengths, weaknesses?
|
Ulm is the "armored tanks" army of the game. You have a great "front line". But if I remember correctly you want to set them forward on the battlefield becaue they dont run well (fatigue can kill them). In fact, the "hold and attack closest enemy" command is your friend.

2 What sort of pretender is Ulm successful with? Any specific examples, or general hints?
|
Ulm has a real hole in its magic, so many people create what they call "rainbow pretenders". Instead of a super-combat pretender. Ulm is ok in the combat area so you can fill the magic need by creating a pretender with as much magic in as many areas as possible (rainbow).

3 Are there any strategies, magic research, or item forging levels I should be looking to reach quickly?
|
For most nations I recommend quickly getting the first few levels in 3 or 4 magic areas. And some nation needs summoned creatures quickly. In your case I think its construction you need fast in order to add some magic casting items to your leaders.

4 What sort of armies should I build? (unit combinations)
|
Pay attention to what provinces are out there. You need their units to fill out your armies. Any type of magic caster, any type of archer, any type of fast flanker, and anything that lets you add cheap builk numbers to your army.

5 What sort of armies/nations should I be afraid of? What sort of "" will I stack up well against?
|
Anything that can stand far back and attack you forcing your heavy armored dudes to have to run across the battlefield.

Thank you so very much in advance, I don't often post but I've found the Dom 2 community is a really helpful one. The game is so complex that I'm finding it hard to get on my feet, even to the point where I'm having difficulty developing my own strategies.

Yep. The pros and cons of it all. The other side of that problem is the fact that this is one game you will definetly get your moneys worth from. Ive had it for years and still find new things to try out.
