One of Ulm's advantages is everyone thinks it's weak so they don't worry about it. But they don't want to kill it off early, because it makes a good trading partner.
They have a kind of diplomatic advantage. Doesn't always work out, and you have to take advantage of it, but it does help counter balance.

It's the changes to the infantry and armor that interest me. Thematically, Ulm is supposed to have really tough troops and, largely due to encumbrance, they had high end but not exceptional heavy infantry.
