Good post Endoperez. I agree with that.

I too would like to see ulm a better nation because it is is a cool idea.

If ulm could build castles faster, it may be enough to balance it. And by faster I mean being able to build a forest fortess in 1 turn, and a castle in 2 turns.
As is, it is hard for ulm can not build enough troops, (or smiths) in the early game to be competitive.

Baalz. You if anyone will be able to instruct people to play ulm as effectivly as possible. But the problem is the other nation can use tactics that are just as strong. Ulm could win yes. But that comes down to player skil mattering more then the nation. If the opponent is equally skilled, ulm is at a disadvantage.
