EA and MA Ulm forge bonus - trading aspect

[CUnknown]

I don't want to keep spamming that "Halt heretic" thread with other MA Ulm stuff, so I started this thread.

I am reminded about this one game (a Dom2 game actually) where Yellowcactus and I teamed up - it was a team game (2v2v2v2). I was MA Ulm and Yellowcactus was ... I guess EA Mictlan is the equivalent of Dom2 Mictlan.

Shame Yellowcactus doesn't play anymore. Anyway:

We totally dominated that game. It was actually the first multiplayer game I was ever on the winning side of, but we just crushed the oppostion (hey Tuidjy, I seem to remember that you may have been in that one..?).

The strategy was that Yellowcactus would take a triple-9 bless (this was in Dom2 where that was almost never done and considered just frickin' crazy), he would have a completely bottom of the barrel economy but unstoppable sacreds. I would be Ulm and take Order-3, Production-3, etc and pump cash and magic items into his hands, and he would pummel the enemy into submission.

It worked like a charm, when the game ended around turn 50 or so, we had all the artifacts (I went straight for them), all the Blood unique demons (equipped with artifacts), and we never faced any major opposition. We (Yellowcactus, rather) were on the offensive the whole game.

So, making a point about being "forge *****" -- MA Ulm is the best partner you can hope to have, and in team games, MA Ulm really shines. Maybe I didn't get the glory of conquest myself personally in that game, but I took much pride in his screenshots.

Edit:
