Ulm Beginner Strategy - need help

[TheKDawg]

Hi everyone, new Dom 2 player here.

I've played a few games as Ulm, and I'm not sure I'm playing right. I have some questions about what other players like to do and accomplish as the Ulm nation. I basically, at the moment, play a multiplayer game with one other person exclusively, along with single player.


1 What are my best troops, strengths, weaknesses?

2 What sort of pretender is Ulm successful with? Any specific examples, or general hints?

3 Are there any strategies, magic research, or item forging levels I should be looking to reach quickly?

4 What sort of armies should I build? (unit combinations)

5 What sort of armies/nations should I be afraid of? What sort of "" will I stack up well against?

Thank you so very much in advance, I don't often post but I've found the Dom 2 community is a really helpful one. The game is so complex that I'm finding it hard to get on my feet, even to the point where I'm having difficulty developing my own strategies.
