Just wanted to update you all on my game:

It's turn 50 something, and I (Ulm) am the dominant force in the game. I started out 3 provinces from C'tis, whom my BP infantry, crossbows, and master smiths were able to crush rather easily. I focused on getting summon earthpower and bladewind as my first tasks, and they work wonderfully. Even better now that my smiths are using the eye of aiming.

I was able to crush my opponents (Rl'yeh) largest army. I took heavy casualties, but I was able to out produce him with my more provinces and more fortresses. I mass produced independant, cheap militia and ichthyids, and his Illithids spent their time killing them off while my blade winds and Black Knights were able to get behind and inflict massive casualties behind the lines. I have two secondary forces holding off Man and Marignon, and I'm beating them too.

Thanks for the strategies. One Last question: What is the best way to get a large Ulmish force underwater? Forging magic pills and beathing amulets?(I was able to find a magic site with air sorceresses, so I can forge them en-masse if I need.

Thank you all for the help. I think I'm on the brink of winning if I don't make too many mistakes. First to master Ulm, then to work on Marignon.
