Re: MA Ulm Pretender
Baalz inspired me to run a test.
Arcoscephale: blue dragon, dom 10.
Ulm: awake rainbow pretender, dom4.
I forgot to appoint prophets. For simplicity sake I didn't move Ulm army out of capital, it was set on Defend anyway.
The dom10 blue dragon attacks 25 Ulm PD at capital on turn 4. Orders are 'attack rear'. (Perhaps I could do better, I never did such things before)
All arbalests miss.
The blue dragon attacks and hits the melee infantry group. Arbalests don't fire, they walk forward and engage the dragon in melee.
Halberds and pikes deal some damage. Arbalests fire again.
The Dragon retreats into enemy territory and dies. This was on the first try, I didn't do any more tests. I could've backed up the turn files, I guess.
Moral of the story: beating 25 Ulm PD is not trivial for a dom10 blue dragon. It's a gamble.
