Re: Why do people hate on Ulm?
Not only that, playing MA Ulm left me feeling like the 18 year old stuck in 7th grade - that is to say everyone else was learning lots of good stuff to help them in the future whereas I was hopelessly stuck. They got to experiment with different magic research paths, interesting summons, artifacts, etc. whereas I (who took a really lame pretender as well: a 4e1w cyclops - its almost comical - i meant to take 1a so i could get gargoyles but somehow confused the air and water icon...) just looked at what i could get for 3e or less. and even 3e required earth boots. So I didn't learn much other than Ulm is not a Noob nation at all. The only easy thing about Ulm is that it is easy to convince everyone your not a threat...

Re: Why do people hate on Ulm?
Dominions also has a bunch of things that can be learned only w/ "hard" nations: to really appreciate the strengths/weaknesses of blood magic, communions, and bless tactics, players really need to try (or read the forum about) nations that are good at those, and see how they work. Ulm, alas, has none of those.
I really wish MA Ulm worked somehow, that courage and steel could overcome magic, but so far, nobody's been able to figure out how.

Re: Why do people hate on Ulm?
Pshawoom, I say to those who lack the faith and courage. Even the strongest mage bleeds and even the most devout priest trembles with fear. Who cares about swords! Heavy things that crush and deform, that's the way. We come!

Re: Why do people hate on Ulm?
Ulm just sucks Kamamura. Get over it. I never even liked them in SP when I was a newbie. Come at me with Ulm in an MP game. I'll show you how it hurts.

Re: Why do people hate on Ulm?
Sorry. That was harsh. I just have never seen the appeal of ULM.
