Looking for Pretender suggestions for Ulm

I'd second the prince of death suggestion...throw some black steel plate on him and he routs armies easily and is hard for standard troops to hurt. He's probably the most powerful suggestion here, but rainbow mages are fun for the large variety of magic you get to play with.

Prince of Death is better but I think a Green Dragon with Nature 4 or 5 also works. The trick I like to use for Ulm is to have Nature and Death Summon to compensate the lack of magic diversity of Ulm. You could of course use a rainbow mage for this but you would lose a major combat unit in the beginning of the game. Blood has better summons than Nature and Death but I don't see any cheap combatant god with blood access.
