my first AAR-ulm

[condors]

i was able to get rid of emror mithcian and marigon but it seems chi tien and vanhiem are very upset with me and i have been focusing on vanhiem but now chi tien has pretty much run me into a corner that i don't believe i will be able to battle my way out of.

[Ragnarok-X]

so essentially you have lost the game huh ?

just a hew notes: Go more into detail i.e. explain why you chose the scales and the prentender (though its pretty much obvious with ulm)

im wondering why you made a simple commander your prophet, i usually chose guys with 3 or 4 divine magic so they get another level here. either that or a hero ^^

Ragnarok-X,

Any prophet automatically gets a minimum of Holy3. For Holy2 Priest Ulm, there's no advantage to giving them the +1 boost.

well i want everything researched asap
for battle:
summon earthpower
invulnerabilty
fire shield
blade wind
+
forge of the ancients
earth blood deep well
the spell that increases income(forget the name)
+
i summon statues
the 2 earth elemental kings
iron dragons

i normally like guardian lord/dark lord but i wanted to get the ball rolling asap and didn't want to lose a smith(1 extra smith over 50 turns=alot of reasearch)

all my priests are level 2 so they would only be a 3 it was either my scout(which i considered) or my commander, i don't like sending my smiths out to fight until they have researched the proper spells. I also like them to have a couple of axes of sharpness(even if i can't get them flying)

i took drain because i am ulm. order and productivity because i never have enough gold/resources, 1 growth because i had the points, and 1 luck because i like getting those knight heros.

I was told the the earth cyclops doesn't give ulm enough diversity but its the only way i have had success and the game isn't over i just am not sure how i can turn it around(i did wipe out 4 of the ai's and a couple others were wiped out each other)

my earth gem income has fallen from 38/turn to 27 currently but will probally fall to 26 in a turn or 2(the forces are there to take it and i can't stop it)

i actually managed to win getting some wrath lords and having them summon allies and building my provience defense up after about 400 turns i worked my way out of it
