4. Bookmark the links below:
http://city.louopt.comhttp://empire.lou-tools.com/index.phpWhen you have all the things above done start putting buildings in the maps.
- My recommendation is, if you have 10 slots, put 6 cottages, 3 wood cutters, 1 query.
- Try to make wood cutters more than queries. After you have like 40+ buildings, try to make stone more (queries), after 50+ put the iron and farm, after 60+ put the town house, barracks etc.
1. Click the "L" button.
http://cegamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/step1.png2. Click Open in Flash City Planner 2
https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img13/8425/setp2r.jpg3. You will get a window like below
https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img3/3097/buildingplacement.jpgchoose the ratio ... for the first city
don’t make Iron/ Food/ Gold in the beginning.
so make it like
wood/ stone 1:1 food/iron/gold all ZERO
in the ADD part make it like
75 and then click add.
You should have a layout like this one.
https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img89/9945/step4b.jpg4. Add some cottages. It’s better to have like
15 cottages.
But you don’t have to have all of those cottages in the beginning.
5. Add some iron mines and farms....
I recommend include
4 iron mines and
1 foundry.
And for farms make
two farms and
a mill.
https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img714/8228/step5d.jpgHow to choose the best spot for iron mines and farms?
See the picture; I have set the optimization weight for iron to
1.00 and in the
Add part 5.
Then click add it will choose the best 5 position for iron for you.
6. Make a cluster with town houses next with markets.
7. 1 Barrack, 1 Moonglow Tower, 1 Trinsic Temple, (and a city guard if you want to).
8. Click the import/export (red) and copy the long link (yellow)
https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img197/1006/step6n.jpg9. Back to LoU
click the "
L" button again.
And then Overlay Layout (yellow), paste the link you have now (long link),
click Apply layout (black), then OK (black)
you have a layout (virtual) in the map, put your building according to the layout.
https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img269/6669/step7r.jpgAnother wayLOU CITY PLANNER:
Step 1. Click the L near your construction speed;
Step 2. Click on the string, located in the top half of the window
city lay-out / Sharestring ("L"). Click once on the string and copy the highlighted text
(Ctrl+C);
Step 3. Go to
http://loof78.appspot.com/lou_city;
Step 4. Paste
(Ctrl + V) the sharestring that you copied into the white field;
Step 5. Press
ENTER a couple times and type or paste the code below in the box (Remark: W = Wood; S = Stone; I = Iron; F = Food):
use_slots=96 num_cottages=15 keep_extra_res_nodes=1
placement_schedule=W,*2,WSI,*100
Step 6. Click compute. Copy the entire length of the sharestring underneath the link at the bottom;
Step 7. Click the link at the bottom to see what your city should look like when done;
Step 8. Go back to Lord of Ultima, return to your city, and click that
L again;
Step 9. Click the Overlay layout tab, and paste (Ctrl+V) the entire sharestring you've copied after computing;
Step 10. Click Apply layout and you should see where every building should be placed and which resources should be destroyed.
*The placement schedule allows you to determine the order of importance for your resources. w=wood, s=stone, i=iron, f=food. You can also determine exact numbers by: W,*6,S,*4,I,*2
The above code would give you more wood, then stone, then iron. Play with the numbers until you get exactly what you're looking for.
