Re: ulm black forest
Rangers and the basic infantry/pikemen as a shield wall is the way to go. Villains suck worm-infested carrion beast balls. If you do need shortbow archers, find aprovince with druids and woodsmen, build a fort there and inundate the world with woodsmen. Much better.
Dark Citadel is useless, take the 60 point fort instead. And as already said, you need blood magic.
The best combat mage the BF Ulm has is an SD Fortune Teller once you get to Nether Bolt and later Nether Darts from Evocation. Put a line of them at the back and watch enemy armies disappear in a rain of dark power.
Wolf herders are not all that great, their only function is to summon free fodder, but you can't do tha to excess or your armies will starve. And BF Ulm has a serious leadership deficiency, all of their commanders suck the aforementioned anatomical part leadership wise. They need either a crown of command or being replaced by an indie mounted commander or whatever you can summon (such as Banes).
