ÜBer Lightning

ÜBer Lightning, or UBL (we don't know how acronyms work) is basically the pro-est of game modes in Age of Mythology. It is also a secret mode, and one of two game modes recognized as legitimate by the FPH Clan, the other being Supremacy which is useful for balanced tournaments and shit.
Although handicaps are rumoured to be an important part of UBL, the most important ingredients are in fact King of the Hill maps and FFA team arrangements. UBL typically involves players issuing streams of units towards each other with no real progress, extensive scheming, backstabbing, and appeals for clemency lumped with character-tainting. UBL games rarely end with a player eliminating the others or claiming the hill; rather, one player has secretly built a wonder and either steals the win as the others waste five minutes battling over a settlement or loses to the player who presciently builds a wonder anticipating that the next ten minutes will be wasted trying to bring down the first standing wonder.
