Thanks a lot Fir, with the FB time-waster games I currently play (Mafia Wars, Castle Age, Kingdom of Camelot) now I can add Lord of Ultima to that list too.
It feels very much like a browser based game that has been around for a while, Tribal Wars, with Ultima have tweaked a few things and it is much more graphically improved. But the core game feels very similar, three resource type, building upgrades, similar troop types, even the buildings are very similar.
Kingdom of Camelot on FB borrows heavily from this game type as well, but KoC follows the FB-game creed that to do well you must constantly annoy your friends with stupid game requests.
Lord of Ultima looks promising, will see how it pans out... I'm on world 5. Not in an alliance yet, but if it is anything like the other games of this sort, you don't want to stay solo for too long before people start harassing/farming you.
