| FIXME | This is the most-magical of the three [[Ulm|Ulms]]. It also has the least [[Magic]] depth, however, not counting the [[Communions]] you can create with ease. Its troops are also WORSE than they were in the previous Age, not counting a few holdouts who've either found God or entered a living Hell. |
| | |
| | The major draw of Late Ulm is the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati|Illuminati]], which provides Blood Hunters from basically anywhere and Communion Slaves in even greater numbers. Since any of your Mages can have [[Astral]] magic, they let Ulm punch far above its weight class in terms of Combat Magic, though not without cost. They start somewhat behind other Blood nations in depth, but they can pile up Patrollers for free with their Wolfherds, allowing them to better-balance their Blood and Gold economies than most in this Age; such balance is what makes [[ind-ma|MAGNIFICENT Ind]] of the previous Age so feared. |
| | |
| | Oh yeah, and there are also Vampires or something. |
