I haven't played much Ulm, but their mages were EEF, right? Two words: Magma spells.

At Evoc3 Magma Bolts, 3 bolts with 23+ AP damage, at Evoc6 Magma Eruption, area effect 23+ AP damage.

At least in theory they should work a lot better than Blade Wind against high protection.

You'd think so, but for some reason, I've never really seen Magma Bolts do much damage. Magma Eruption seems to suffer from being a fairly high level to research in the early-midgame, and also has taken out more of my own troops when I've tried to use it than enemy troops.
