[Taqwus]

Mictlan. Moreso EA or LA.

Normally played with a high bless (not sure how well a scalemonster build would work -- not Mictlan's forte, I suspect), and with mandatory blood magic providing nasty summons. Items are still nice, but power will come from the summons.

Bless strats are a bit rare for Ulm, but with Mictlan, it might actually be reasonable to go berserk with F9W9 Jaguar Warriors, trying to grow your empire while not over-expanding your horribly unpleasant dominion.
