MA Ulm and Drain scale?

[Shovah32]

As endo said, take drain 2 if you want lots of non smith mages, otherwise go drain 3.

A good idea for MA ulm (imo) is: 3 prod, 3 drain, 3 order, 2 misfortune, a rainbow mage, possibly dormant (2-3 of all paths, maybe higher earth). You can quickly get a large gem income which your pretender can use without alchemy, a nice trick is using cheap earth items (heavy armour, strength boosters, a shield) forged by your smiths and maybe 1 or 2 special items (horror helm ect) forged by your pretender to make early game thugs from black lords/black servants ect. Sorry for going OT there.

Basically with ulm drain should be taken for prod and order (order also lets you take misfortune) to boost your income (which means more castles and smiths) and resources to make heavy units (black knights rock).
