City - Resource
A foundation is the most important part in creating a large and successful empire. You must be able to make a lot of resources PER city. A very good city layout will utilize the center section in order to get up to 70k resource per hour per city.
Up top is all wood but if you don't need that much wood then you can substitute some woodcutters for stone or iron.
Tools for the Competent Player
There are many tools available for Lord of Ultima. These are a few of my favorites for those who want to compete against the best.

- Clickable coords in chat
- Selectable chat text

2) LOU Summary
A Firefox add-on that gives you a window with a summary of ALL of your cities. This is a must for those with more than 10 cities. You'll know exactly when you need to shuffle resources and building/training time completion. Created by Raisun.

3) LOU Player/Alliance Statistic Tool
This web page will allow you to view an alliance or player's growth over time on a graph over the past 26 days. You can use this to compare yourself vs another players or an alliance vs another alliance. Additionally, you can find out whether your neighbor has quit playing by seeing no growth (0 slope on the graph). Make sure you check capitalization in the names because they are case sensitive.

4) Combat Calculator
This will give you a pretty good estimate of the outcome of a battle. Use this to estimate whether or not you should attack. A good scout report is required so you know their Tower types and levels. Created by Crenshaw.
