God Design For EA Ulm
I'd have put pretender, but that's kind of like admitting defeat.
So, I was compiling some stuff for a beginners guide again for EA Ulm, but I'm having trouble with a good pretender.
I've tried 5 or 6 different ones. Here's what I used:
Father of Winters - Dormant
Dominion 6
T1 P3 C1 G1 L3 Dr3
A3 W5 S5
Too much production, too much drain. Air is a good choice, as is Water and Astral I think. Gives you access to quite a bit you wouldn't normally have. I geared him up at Const 2 with some items and he killed Bogus and his crew solo, which is a good yardstick for toughness...until he was in another dominion.
Master Lich - Dormant
Dominion 8
O2 P1 C1 Mi 2 M1 (I think, can't read my handwriting)
A3 S6 D4
Again, Air and Astral. Death isn't that necessary, but it's nice because it's hard to get a mage with D2 out the box and you can forge skull staves, because D2 is like 100 times better than D1 on a mage. Order was way overkill, too much gold.
But I didn't really use him for much besides researching and forging, so I think the high dominion was a waste and I could have put points elsewhere.
Prince of Death - Dormant
Dominion 6
T1 P2 C1 G1 L2 M1
S6 D4
The scales and dominion were about right here I think. I don't know about the path choices though. You get a lot of nice options I think and fill in some gaps, but I really lack access to anything air here. There's some nice forges in there for air I think, I've got a lot of gems I don't know what to do with as a result.
I had a few other scales/path combos for the lich and Old Man Winters, but I don't think they were as good.
Lady of Rivers or whatever looks good to me, as does the Enchantress. I think Ulm really needs a pretender with high Astral or Death, and I don't think a good bless is even feasible. Or am I way off base? What do you guys think?
