I have played Ulm more than any other race and never had any problem with them routing. I start with 3 prod, 3 order, 1 growth, with couple heat /cold.

I like high income/production. The troops i buy are mostly ranged crossbow men and black knights. I usually clog up the area right in front of my ranged troops with guardians/pikemen mix. Pikes have 11 morale and are cheap, and the guardians have an even higher morale which mixed in helps pikes.

But with ulm the calvary/ranged units are the way to go. I forget the morlae of calvary but they do not rout often, so i am not sure what units you are getting that rout? Never buy basic 10 morlae infantry. No need to go there.
