Thats one of the things I like about Ulm. Low learning curve. If they are coming from other games then playing Ulm as if they were a tank commander tends to work fairly well. And it works with the demo.

Ermor is the nation that most newbies try soon after getting the full game. Since more of its actions are automatic, like gaining troops, its good for them. (Its also often their first post as they come in and announce how out of balance it is because it kicks everyones tail.)

yeah ulm is like the human race from most fantasy rts games .
but at least i had no chance as newbie with ulm hehe .
ai builds hordes of troops .
ulm has always only few troops . so the ai swarms you and you always lose your first games as ulm. especially because most newbies ( i did so ) build the ulm infantry first .

against horde ai nations (especially e.g. pangenea , ermor , mictlan ) they just swarm you with 5:1 army size and you always lose as newbie .
