Let's Look at a Pro: TrafficCop

The screenshot above is the main castle of a player known as TrafficCop. TrafficCop is the number one player in terms of building points right now, meaning this player has the most buildings and the most upgraded buildings. The number one position is consistently changing, but we can still learn from the set up of this player's castle.

The first thing that I notice is that this castle is very, very big. All players should increase the size of their castle as soon as possible to allow more room for buildings. This player has chosen to place all of his or her resource plants at the left side of the castle. You can choose to place your resource plants differently, but it's always smart to place them close together and not all over the place. Also, TrafficCop has a lot more than three of each resource plant (there are actually around 10 of each). The game will tell you that you can only have three of each plant working at 100% occupancy, and adding more plants will produce less resource. However, adding more will always produce at least some resources, and building more plants is always cheaper than upgrading your existing ones. Lastly, you will notice near the bottom of TrafficCop's castle, there are around 20 Festival Squares, which I think is the decoration that gives the most pubic order for the amount of space it takes up. Building so much decorations will allow you to produce resources much faster than normal.

Of course, beginners will not be able to make their castle as big as TrafficCop's in the beginning, so you will always have to continuously rearrange your buildings as you add more space to your castle.
