Ulm beefed up ...

PvK, the real issue is whether Ulm needs boosting or not. I may agree with you
that Ulm does not need even better armour, or that the random elemental makes
Iron Faith more or less pointless. The reason I am pushing for changes is that
I believe that Ulm, as it is, is simply horribly underpowered. This is why I
am playing the three games against CUnknown - if Ulm cannot win one on one,
on a small map where the enemy capital is known, under conditions tailored to
favor Ulm, there is something wrong with the race.

Ok, but suppose one simply added MR and perhaps a little morale to all Ulm national units - would there not be a point where that alone would make you think Ulm wasn't underpowered?

That is, I might agree Ulm is at a disadvantage once other nations have deployed powerful magic, if Ulm fails to develop other magic itself (such as from independant mages). However I'd first try approaches which try to stay closest to what I see as Ulm's theme, which is anti-magic rather than more magic, and the game data's other thematic parameters.
