Just had my first SP win as Ulm. 1 on 1 vs. C'tis.
I had a province that could recruit wizards which helped big time. I built up five powerful armies, about 70 troops each, and started an all out war. The very next turn my pretender was killed by a horror! I don't even know why! Needless to say I was shocked. I had planned a good portion of my strategy around my pretender kicking some hiney, so that threw a considerable wrench in the proceedings. The next 6-7 turns was chaos but the strong design of my armies payed off as C'tis's forces were brought down one by one.
The AI pretender (scorpion king) routed two armies before he finally died in a satisfying puff of red blood
The best battle of the whole game was my "kinda SC" spy teleporting around and spawning undead with his skull talisman, horror helm, teleport shoes (forgot the name), cloak of shadows, and lucky blade. He routed an army of 30 something lower quality troops and a shaman.
All in all it was fun but didn't really feel like a great win. My attack was fairly haphazard and weak now that I think about it. Also the use of province defence is a huge advantage to the human player. The AI doesen't seem to understand it.
Any suggestions for a race to try next?
