Re: Ulm Beginner Strategy - need help
If I calculated right, with the following pretender you'll be able to forge any path booster item eventually:
Crone
F3
A3
W2
S3
D2
N2
Order 2
Produc 3
Growth 1
Magic -3
DOM4
Castle 40/100
5 left
Important items which Ulm can forge cheaply, but which are overlook often:
- Sceptre of Authority
- Girdle of Might
- Stinger
- Blood Stone (needs Blood)
Place Shortbow-Archers or Slingers behind you main line (which should be set to "hold and attack", or even "guard commander" with some heavy inf commanders among them). Set the archers to "fire at nearest". They wouldn't be able to hurt you prot 23 troops, but will hurt any less armored enemy.
