Default Re: Ulm beefed up ...

Ok folks, as no-one said anything about testing the mod and finding everything f*** up, I did a test game myself and handed Ulm over to the AI.
It squashed everything flat, my Tuatha incl. . But it had a very good start, and got lots of castles to conquer.
Yeah, if you give the AI castles to conquer (it still can't build them by itself), you'll get some decent army from the AI, not only a bunch of LI ... here's a screenshot from the biggest army Ulm send against me: 23 commanders, 448 troops, 19 undead. And it would have been even bigger, if the AI would not have supply problems on 90% of all maps because a) it doesn't know how to forge supply items and b)prov size haven't been nerfed since Dom:PPP by 75% ...

note the big number of Black Plate Infantry ...
