Under CBM 1.6, which we used in the previous game, it certainly was considered a weak nation but under 1.92 it's a different story. But I have nerfed them heavily and when you consider the presence of nations like Pythium, Jotun and Eriu (Eriu has a very strong midgame and fades late game - but here there is no traditional late game) I wouldn't at all say that Ulm stands out as stronger than the others.
As far as going down in flames in the first 20 turns, well there's no shame in that as even with strong nations luck can turn against you and you get dogpiled, etc.
In terms of low micro, I guess Ulm wouldn't be too bad from that perspective since at least they aren't into blood. And combat scripting shouldn't be too complicated since you'll be focused on buffing troops and pounding opponents with evo magic. But in the end if you do well you'll have to manage an increasing number of units and have to deal with an increasing amount of micro (this is a low magic game but unfortunately the micro won't be any better than a normal game).

Welcome! I'll leave recruitment open until we hear from shard; perhaps we'll end up with a full complement of 8 players.
