cast rigor mortis, invoke some skeletons to hold the line, and wait for the little men to pass out, the nose in the mud.
quick & efficient.

Stacking the anything that causes them to pass out into the dirt is pretty amusing. If you have have a high heat or cold domain, then combine with Heat from Hell or Grip of Winter, and Rigor Mortis as well, they'll pass out into the dirt before they can even reach you. It's humorously cruel.

Alternatively, you can always just preach him out. Ulm tends to have little or no priestly power and may be overcome by your Dominion before you ever attack him at all.

If you are Ulm, on the other hand, don't let this happen to you.

All lightning attacks are armor-negating.

All advice so far is humorously cruel ; keep it up!

I am playing Man, so Orb Lightning is already booked!

Also, I´ll search through Thaumaturgy and similar; a strong mind seems not what Ulm is famous for, so everything confusionish, panicish, poison-cloudish looks good to me.

Poison is really amazing vs. Ulm. Once playing Ulm against the computer I was fighting a couple of hydras which I hit a while...they turned around and my ulm infantry...who couldn't catch the hydras...followed them into their poison clouds all the way to the edge of the combat map. I lost about 80 ulm morningstars...only 2 or 3 in combat...the rest to chasing poisonous creatures.
