I'm an Ulm fan too, but you're going way overboard with the inspiration. Beyond just taking the basic concept of black steel and forge masters, you're constantly mentioning the stats of black steel plates and the Ulm warriors in Dominions.

I'm not trying to be patronizing here, I just genuinely feel that it's more fun (and better practice writing) to use something as a mere inspiration rather than make a carbon copy of it. You said you'd change it up a bit for the purposes of the RP but aside from name I don't see many changes. My honest advice would be for you to change it even more.

I'm not going back and saying your nation is OP, mind you. No need to make changes that would make it weaker; I'd just stray away from basing every single concept upon Ulm. Ulm is like a less fiery, less magical, and more squishy Abyssia, if anything it's underpowered in Dominions :P
