Re: taking on ulm
I am inferring from your post that you are playing a head on head blitz game.
I would use the Neif giants to stop this Ulm tactic. Amass 7 or 8 squads of 4 man sacred giants (nature and earth bless of course). Have your prophet with them and script him for the big bless, then the big bravery spell,smite, smite, smite, spells. Put 2 squads on each flank, one slight staggered behind the other with hold and attack archers and attack rear orders on one of each. Scatter the other four squads around the middle with attack closest orders. This should draw the melee troops to the four center squads clearing the flanks for the other four to get around them.
Anything else depends upon how long you are into the game before you meet your friend regarding spells, buffs and equipment. But it sounds to me that you are about 10 turns into the game.
