Is it hopeless to continue this game ?

Now, as i see it, 1 of these for every 60-80 ulmish troops(without mage or army support) should, hopefully(with magma eruption) get you consistant victories with minimal losses. Something you could do to greatly increase their survival is research phoenix pyre(you have alt 5, its 6 or 7) because, if they buff with it, whenever they die they will explode and be reborn with extra fatigue(they have 11 reinvig when buffed and blessed so no worries) and kill(usually) everything nearby. If you use maybe 2 or 3 of these guys(non phoenix pyred to protect troops) along with a conventional army+artillery mages casting ice strikes and magma eruptions you could have a good chance of beating ulm(and if you get the maelstrum up you will have extra gems to make these kings)
