Why do people hate on Ulm?

I do agree that a Lantarn magic item to combat darkness should be created.

There is an artifact that does just that. (The forbidden light)

CUnknown:

I lumped the remaining items into "everything else" because they have no common theme or pattern. But look at the items you list. Almost all of them are amplifiers, boosters of some sort. To use them properly, you need either SCs or combat magic, or both. You need to put a blade on "everything else" items. They don't kill by themselves. Oh, and there are summons, too.

"An SC chassis, but no items, does not an SC make."

You sound just like Master Yoda :-)

I've been away for a while, but at the end of my last round of playing Dominons I was loving LA Ulm.

It has a workable blood economy with a pretender-dependent option to expand into earth/blood and the magic economy that implies, interesting immortal unique summmons which lead to some really nasty tactics (there was a really nice old article on it, but mainly Black Angel summoning within your own domain with immortal troops hurts a lot), excellent missile troops, and insane ability to generate unrest with its mage/spies.

Black Angel?

Lammashtas?

Yep, them. Told ya, it has been a while.

But between that and skelespam, Ulm vampies do more than okay at defending friendly lands.
