Default Re: \"Fixes\" to Ulm

Quote:

What Ulm needs is some kind of sacred antimagic troop, immune to all elemental attacks and with a magic weapon. Maybe make them lifeless recruitable units?

That is exactly what Ulm does *not* need.

Ulm is a nation of men, with human failings (and then some, but that's a distinct question), fighting against hordes of magic wielding demons, evil animated statues and malevolent warlocks, with only steel and sinew, and some magic available in a limited, supporting role. If you give them killer robots, yeah, they might then be a competitive nation - of killer robots.

And thence I will continue in the new thread
