Lord of Ultima: Paladin Military City Layout

Here is my Paladin Military City Layout which you can see in the LoU Flash City Planner.

Max Units: 92,000

Recruitment Speed: 10s

Storage: 2,975,000 wood/stone/iron/food

Food Produced: 28,035 per hour (will vary depending on your particular lake placement)

Food Required: 57,500 per hour

Food Deficit: 29,465 per hour (need to restock every 4.2 days)

Similar to my Berserker Military City design, this is not the biggest troop strength city or fastest training speed military city around. It is meant to be a balanced/functional city which you can roll out many of. A Paladin Military City has the following purposes:

• Defense, particularly against Mages/Warlocks.
• Dungeon farmer. Paladins are one of the best farmers out there due to their high loot capacity.

As per my Food Management strategy, there are 3 food clusters. This allows you to let restock every 4 days. You can even go out on the weekend!

The Moonglow Tower allows you to purify resources within the city, so you will never any lose due to excess. I have left the 4 Marketplaces in there, as at times, you will need to ship resources out, for example, to build new cities.

If you look carefully, you will see a lone Hideout. This is for plunder defense. If for some reason whereby you cannot defend against a plunder that will take all your food, the Hideout will hold just enough food to prevent troop starvation before you ship in more/trigger an artifact.

This design assumes you do not place the city on water and have continent control, so the city never gets damaged. That is why there are no cottages to help rebuild speed. It is not so bad anyhow, as with the Ascension patch, you can research into Construction Speed Bonus.

For towers, I use:

• Lookout Tower x2 to give 21 hours of attack advanced warning. I find 1 tower/11 hours is not enough.
• Ballista Tower x22 as the most risk is someone catapulting your city. This is also useful if you do have to place your city on water due to lack of room.
