Oops! Sorry mork - I forgot to mention that I will be banning pop-killing dominion themes from this game. We discussed it in IRC for a bit and decided that the experience noobs might gain fighting thru a pop-dead dominion would be outweighed by the sheer frustration of it.

So, no pop-killing themes please.

Note the new house rule...

Ulm is traditionally weak, but they're winning (by a long shot) 2 of the 3 big games I'm in now. Go figure.

you can't go by the Artifacts game - that had special reasons for ulm's success.

ulm is very weak. I'd recommend against them. try vanheim if they haven't been taken, and either go for a bless strat, or hvy inf followed later by your wonderful dwarves casting blade wind

Not to mention that Ulm having an early lead in that game doesn't necessarily mean much - it's mid to late game that Ulm really starts to suffer in.
