Why do people hate on Ulm?

Kamamura is having an unlucky day on the forum (someone went crazy at him on a newbie game thread as well - not your fault Kamamura!)

capnq - people recommend starting with underwater nations?! Wow, that is insane. Way to put someone off.

I am in the process of discovering all over again how much fun playing an underwater nation isn't.

MA Oceania - looks dire on paper, is diabolical in practice. Bleh ...

My first nation was EA Atlantis. You can't be attacked underwater so it's a very easy way to research all the spells and learn how to get your butt handed to you without being eliminated from the game.

Be nice to Kamamura. I just read the harsh cursing he was subjected to - not nice reading.
