Catapult wave splitting

with one comment

What I’m about to discuss here is one of the hardest tricks in the game, and even when you do everything right, it’s still possible to screw it up. The principle is similar to dodging, but much harder to execute.

This should be practiced by everyone that isn’t familiar with the tactic until you feel comfortable enough that you can do everything right in an emergency. Optimally, you should use this on all supply villages and even when you’re making a stand in case the hammer does happen to break through. Read the rest of this entry »

Travian Farm tip

with 19 comments

To farm in travian is to attack other villages for resources, like I’m sure everyone knows.

Farming can take a lot of time when you start to get a lot of troops and lots of potential farms around you, and especially if you don’t have any co-players to help you out it’s good to find an efficient way to do it.

Travian combat strategies

with 22 comments

In this travian combat strategy guide I will go through a couple of basic combat strategies everyone has to know to play travian well. The strategies and tecniques here will be used from day one and throughout the whole game.

Dodging
I guess this is the most important one to know, and I guess pretty much everyone who’s reading this know what it is. Anyways though, it means sending your army out of your city when another player attacks to avoid a fight and avoid loosing troops. You will be doing this all the time, as you never want to defend your city with offense troops, so you always dodge unless you have defensive troops there with them or you’re certain it’s just a tiny attack that won’t hurt your offense force at all.
