Why do people hate on Ulm?

[OmikronWarrior]

Early Age and Late Age Ulm are fine, if hardly powerhouses. Its Middle Age Ulm thats was (and possibly still is) the benefit of so much grief. Basically, they had no sacred troops, so a bless strategy was out of the question. Then, their only mages were 2E1F with a 10% chance of getting an additional path. Thats not a lot of magic diversity. Finally, there best troops could not win against other enemy troops, and their archers are very resource intensive.
