Buildings (LoU)

In Lord of Ultima, players must construct and upgrade several buildings in order to create new units, and to improve their standings among other potential Lords.

Buildings

Here are the various buildings that can be constructed:

	Town Hall	Provides basic storage and wood production. Also determines the maximum number of buildings in a city. Only one can be built in each city. Cannot be totally demolished or destroyed.
