Where do you get the idea that I was proposing a ranger centric strategy...?

One of my original points for Order 3 is that you have good non cap mages and more steady income = more mages. Ranger floods = good early game. Order 3 = better early game. Order gives you more early game to expand + threaten better => more snowball income than turmoil.

Also there's nothing from stopping Ulm from taking Order and luck anyway. Turmoil/luck doesn't pay off as much as people think nor do misfortune hurt all that much in base game.
