Maybe there is a lot to learn. But first, you must (should) play a better Nation.
As far as I see, Ulm (MA) has nothing to compete against a nation like Vanheim, and looks very weak, with no magic variety and not a lot of possibilities. I have lost some battles, but I then have options to set different tactics. It seems to me that you had no option left when I for first won some battles. You had nothing to counter my attacks, tactics and general strategy. And the initial success you got was my inexperience and because you played well.
Sorry to have put you out of the game. A la prochaine.
