Travian Roman strategy guide
Strategy guide for aggressive raiding roman players. I’ve dominated my area and reached high on the rankings on several servers playing like this.
The Roman tribe is a very interesting one, and for some reason everyone advice new players to go for romans. I really wonder why, I can’t see why it would be the easiest one to play. Usually most new players who chose roman as their tribe just become farms right away. I’m not saying roman is a bad tribe, it’s just played far too passively by many players in my opinion.
Get the rewards
In all my guides I say that you should start following the rewards program first. If you don’t have that on your server, you just build whatever you need to get the homeland bonus, then lvl 3 main building, granary, warehouse, marketplace, rally point and barracks. No need to build up all the fields then, and even if you have the reward bonus on the server, quit after quest number 21 and don’t build all the fields to level two, it’s a waste of resources. You can do that later when you really need the extra gold you get for it, and if you don’t need the gold just wait with it till you have your second village.
Let’s look at the roman basic foot soldier for a bit, the imperian. 40 offense, 35 infantry defense and 50 cavalry defense. The cavalry defense is pretty useless at the start of the server, 35 infantry defense is pretty good though. Having 40 offense it’s definitely a stronger troop when it comes to pure fighting than the famous teuton clubs. It’s much worse in raiding though, only being able to carry 2/3 of the resources and walking slower. It also costs 440 resources compared to a club swinger costing only 250. Cause of all this you can’t compete with a teuton from the start.
So what do you do? I suggest laying low and avoiding strong teutons from the start. They will attack you, but just be active enough so that they never catch your troops or get any resources from you. They will be busy farming and probably not notice you as you’ll be building troops and your population won’t grow very much at all from the start. Your legionnaires are too expensive to lose in fights with teutons at this point, so here is your first goal as a roman.
2 legionnaires
From the time you have 2 legionnaires you start farming 24/7 with them, but be careful, you don’t wanna loose even a single one of them. If you’re playing on quest reward server make sure you attack players with 15 or more population with 3 or more troops the first time to avoid losses. As soon as you get the battle report you’ll attack again assuming you got max.
Keep building more legionnaires 24/7 and keep them out raiding all the time, never have them at home when you’re not online. Even if they defend fairly well you don’t want to loose them, this is not the time to kill other peoples armies, you’ll wait with that till later. You also don’t want any large teuton in the neighborhood noticing you and attack you more frequently cause of that. Stay under the radar and pretend you’re just an inactive farm.
I usually don’t build anything but troops in this period, but it’s ok to build up some more crop fields if it makes you feel safer. As a roman you also need a cranny as teutons will be raiding you, and you don’t want to loose all your crops when your crop production is negative, as you’ll then loose some of your precious troops. You will be negative in crop production if you play my style, but it’s no problem as long as your active.
100 legionnaires
Yes, I know it sounds like a lot, but I believe it is necessary. Legionnaires farm much slower than clubs and to support the building of infrastructure for your EIs(equites imperatoris) you’ll need a large farming income. If your area is an exceptionally good one, and you get close to max in each of your raids I guess you can do with 60-70 or so, but then you have to be very active. You don’t want to spend too much time building up the academy and stables, as you’ll then be too far behind in troops.
What about imperians you might say? Most romans seem to go for imperians first after all. I believe this is a big mistake. What do you need these imperians for now? They are better raiders than the legionnaires that’s true, and it costs less resources to build buildings and research them, but compared to EIs they are crap at this point. Who will you be facing in your battles now? Teautons with clubs, and the EIs are way way better than imperians fighting clubs. They can counter atttack clubs easily, they can kill them almost without losses and they can’t be countered by club armies themselves as they are twice as fast as clubs. They are also better raiders than imperians in general even if there are no teutons at all close to you.
When you’ve got those EIs you can start having fun, now you’re gonna start hitting those teutons around you over and over, counter any attacks they make with their clubs, just look at the combat guide on how to do that well, and kill all of their troops. It feels really good to retaliate on someone who’s been attacking you before, doesn’t it? They may start building spears and hinder you, but this will take them a long time, and spears are defensive units that they can’t really raid efficiently with. While you’re farming and attacking teutons with your EIs you’ll keep farming the other villages in the area with your legionnaires.
20 equites imperatoris
As soon as you have 15-20 EIs you should go build a hero mansion and get a hero EI. You’ll boost his offense points and he’ll hopefully be levelling fast killing all those clubs. If you happen to run out of teutons to kill off in your 21×21 just use your EIs to farm the other villages in the area. If you don’t have scouts already now you better research them now, usually I reasearch scouts as soon as I’ve got the prerequisites for it, at the 100 legionnaires point that is.
Just keep raiding and farming building EIs non stop, any extra resources will be put into crop fields as you’ll have a massive negative crop production by now. The other fields are not that important but let them follow 2-3 levesls behind. When your crop fields reach level 5 or so, start putting extra resources into party and second village infrastructure, take a look at other guides if you don’t know how.
100 equites imperatoris
I am usually at around 100 EIs at the time I found my second city, and I’ll probably have enough culture points without holding a party on speed, on a normal server maybe one party is needed.
The same ideas of where to put your second village goes for any tribe really. If you’re using gold and/or are playing on a normal server a 15 cropper is the way to go. A cropper will produce more total resources than any other city cause of the bonus buildings, and it will also be a better base for big armies, so if you use gold you should always chose a 15 cropper. If you’re playing on a normal server you should also always chose a 15 cropper as it’s too hard supporting a big army from a 6444 city with normal resource production. Troops eat as much on a normal server, but you production is only one third of speed. When you get your second city on a normal server you stop producting troops in your first city and build it in your second city, the 15 cropper, instead. That’s why you shouldn’t research anything in your first city apart from scouts, since you’ll have to do it all over again in your second one anyways.
A 6444 can easily support a pretty big army on speed, so it’s more up to you there. If you play on speed and don’t use gold, you can chose a 6444 if you wish, but at least city number 4 or 5 has to be a 15 cropper.
Village number 2
Now when you’ve got your second village it’s time to upgrade more of those resource fields. You should also take the time to research imperians. No reason to stop raiding with your legionnaires, but imperians are much better raiders and you should start building those in your barracks now. How you balance the production of imperians versus EIs depends a lot on what your neighbourhood looks like. If there are a lot of teutons with clubs and axes left to be killed go for more EIs, if there are more romans, gauls and teutons with spear defenses go for more imperians.
Onwards now you just keep up raiding and dominating your neighbourhood, build up a bigger army and upgrade your resource fields. On a speed server you have to be partying all the time, while on a normal server it’s better to go for culture buildings like the embassy. Don’t rush researching EC (equites caesaris), they are not that good raiders, they are expensive and they are to be used for your main offense army later in the game. I’ll just end this guide here as it is a starting guide, I’ll write more about endgame on this page later.
Thank you for a great guide. I’ve just started as roman on a normal, and was puzzled what to do early (I played teuton and gauls before, 1 time each). Romans are the hardest at the start (yeah, why are they recommended for all the newbs – to make it easier for teutons to pick targets?!), so reading your comprehensive strategy was really helpful. Keep it up!

Thanks for the comment.I believe they are the hardest at the start yeah, since they are not experts in anything at the start, teuton being the best farmers and gauls being the best at protecting their recourses. I don’t know why they are recommended for newbies, they are the easiest to farm after all. I think newbies should start as gauls instead or possibly teutons if they are active enough. Romans are a lot of fun to play though after you’ve gotten a few villages, good luck!

13 Jul 08 at 2:33 pm
Thanks for wishing me luck, I will certainly need some (first 3 EIs were just built). Wanna add another short comment on the new player choice of tribe: from my experience I’d certainly recommend gauls. I did it at a speed server – following “c69’s guide to offensive gaul” I was able to get to top 50 pop and then was invited to one of the best alliances at the server (with some luck, of course). Now I’m more “in the business”, so I know that the strategy I was following is not optimal – even with gauls you should start raiding with first troops, not just waiting for your TTs. Looking forward to your gaul guide!
Miaow
13 Jul 08 at 6:47 pm
Nice, it’s when you start getting the EIs it starts getting fun. I’m kinda debating what’s the best way to start with gauls all the time, some kind of mix between troops and TTs is the way to go I believe, and it depends a lot on how many easy farms there is out there. It also differs a lot from speed to normal server. If you’re unlucky and run into defense with those phalaxes they die like flies after all, and loosing them is real bad for you. I’ve read c69’s guide, which I think is too passive but probably works pretty good on speed.
Iwind
13 Jul 08 at 11:36 pm
It is hard starting with roman but i think you need to start with gauls then go to tueton then romans i think romans are the hardest in the game lol.
Roman s are really good if you have the resorses so you can use the 2 buiing slot feture
there troops are stroung but legionairs arnt thta good and there exspencive comperd to macemen i like getting EI quick and then getting loads of them but its hard to start quickly with them 
over and out frankie:)

I’m playing romans following the guide above, normal server, week 4, day 4 – raider No 2! Well, I’m a bit lucky today but I’m in top 10 for more than a week now. Thanks a lot for a great guide!
One thing that I missed while reading it is when to start build infrastructure for 2nd village. I totally forgot about it, was too busy raiding, then I realised one teuton already has 2 villages and I didn’t have a city hall yet. Maybe you could make it more clear in the text – when you feel like having abundant resources when building EIs, invest them in upgrading Academy and City Hall.
Also I made a mistake and researched imperians = wasted resources (for this stage) = lagged a bit in raiding.
Overall the guide is great, thanks again!

Thank you
I have played Travian for three years now and have been ww builder, artifact keeper, pop winner… as teutons…This time I wanted to be a roman, and I have used this guide and its really been helpfull. Exept I got EI’s when I had 50legios (bad neighbourhood) well anyways, in the second week of the server I was allready top 3 at looting. (on a normal server) and in week three I finished up 2nd on the top 10 looting.
Great strategy , thanks

Hi I have a question,I don’t use gold but I am really really active,still I find it hard to stay in first 300 with gauls or teutons as they can make just one building,I therefore play romans most of the time.Now here is a tricky time everyone are talking they are awesome in end game and etc,but they aren’t that awesome at all.Someone will think they can get to great barrack 24/7 faster since you build villages faster,well actually no since later people conquer them.Now main argument for “awesomnest(don’t know how to spell that sorry I am not native english)”is they attack power per crop,well it is 91 or so for imp and 200 for EC I think,BUT they are produced much slower then any other tribe:
514 imp’s per day…
280 EC’s per day…
Now that is BAD,lets look at teuton:
822 axes,that is 300 more then Romans!Teutons normally produce(without Great barrack) 411 axes per day,now that is close to roman with Great Barrack!
334 Tk’s,well this part can be seen as good for romans
So we see romans are good for making WW army’s only,and I am sure that making army throu whole game and keep attacking enemy villages is a good fun!They are also good when there is nothing to conquer with that double build you can spam villages faster then Teutons and Gauls,and make them more CP’s effective so no really big need for party’s,of course if you can afford them use them like hell they can help a LOT…
Now if you can tell me your opinion I would be thankfull

I’m new to Travian and have followed this guide and i have reached Top 50 but i have Question: What should my Negative crop production be at around the 100:20 equites imperatoris stage as i had -56 and i got a bit scared and concentrated on crop for a few days. Any help/tips is always thankful especially “Constructive Criticism”.

Romans are definitely the hardest tribe to play well. I’d say the Teutons are the easiest at start – but you need a lot of free time.

Very nice guide!
I planned opening a roman now.
The good with romans is they have realy great army.
the IEs can raid a lot of recources. and they are fast!
realy fast! Thank you for this great guide.
I suggest you to post it on the official site forum.
You will be appreciated much there!
Anyway, romans needs TIME, and a lot.
thats why teutons are better offensive race.
romans are stronger, for sure.
again, they just need some time.
if roman will have the same troops numbers as teutons, he will win.
the only thing makes teutons so effective at wars is the time period to build troops.
thanks again.

Trying this guide right now. So far so good. The only thing is there are freaking high populated pros around me. 2 guys from same Alliance both have at least more than 5 villages surrounding me. Each more than 300 populated. I just started in Hell.

23 Feb 09 at 5:25 am
Interesting…raiding with Romans. What I do is make hardly any troops and just work on resource fields. I started a little less than halfway in my first server and less than 2 months I have 3 villages, first one at all Level 10 resources fields and 2nd one almost there. And I have hardly any troops. Of course, I had A LOT of help from my alliance. And I have never been attacked. BUT, it seems like a pretty good guide so I just might try it some server,

Nice guide.
Overall, roman better than teuton, only if you kill all teutons around you from the starting.
I think, newbie tribe is not roman, but teuton.

good guide but one error, you said “Having 40 offense it’s definitely a stronger troop when it comes to pure fighting than the famous teuton clubs.”
Teuton clubs also have 40 offense.

25 Mar 09 at 11:42 pm
Hi, I don’t know if I get it wrong. When I play in normal server, do I have to get 15c as my second village and build my offense there? What about the defense? What can I do if someone attack my precious cropper?

Question:
This is a good strategy, but how can you get a 15 cropper as an expansion village? You have said to build up around 100 EI’s before you go trying to make a second town, in this time a Teuton neighbour can create and easily establish one.
We are into the 3rd week on my server and already there are 1 or 2 players who have a second town.

And how am I supposed to farm up 3400 wood for the EI research, when Im constantly under attack af a nearby teuton? like ho comes every 3 hour, even if he gets 0 0 0 0 ? I have to keep my resources below 666 of each. Am I supposed to build 4 crannies to level 10 or what…
Someone
25 Apr 09 at 12:43 pm
To someone…
If i were in your shoes i would try some dirty tactics. I would firstly build second cranny for sure if i were under constant attack. Seconly I would report this teuton for script use because of the frequent and regular attacks. That could give you some time if it works…

hey if anyone says romans suck they, are very wrong… they are actually very good if you use them right. I just build 10 legos start farming people lower pop. than me and outta begginer protection (not gauls, they can trap your units
) maybe a teuton if it is lower and other romans.

2 Jun 09 at 7:58 pm
thats all very good if you are new but im a pro player…. i have 20villages and around 20k of pop im a dual and farm 24/7 with my dual.. when i started i crannied up and was still being attacked at week 10 so its not impossable to pull yourself back if you are being farmed u just ahve to persivere! its always good to make 1 village and cranny up and build a second around 300,300. that wasy nobody attacks you and you will be safe from pesky raiding tuetons. tuetons are always hard to avouide but if your a quick thinker you will have thought it all out!
Romans have the distinkt advantage of elete troops and more buildings avalable on your construction list. my advise is to cranny up and have a limit on your wearhouse so you can make settlers. then if you are not experianced or cant be on 24/7 you should find somewere safe to put your troops when ur not online!

Hi,
I have just started my second server as the Romans and have found this guide very helpful. In my last server I believed I focussed too much on the economy and not enough on military expansion in the early game. Do you have any recommended time frames by which you should have Imperians, EI, EC, and so on? My only fear is not researching new troops within a reasonable amount of time.
Thanks for a great guide!

7 Jun 09 at 3:45 am
Good Guide however, I would like to make a couple of suggestions. A 15 cropper is necessary to use as your capital and you don’t build troops there. As you have already said, you have researched all troop types in your 6444 village, so why research them again.
Build all your crops to level 10 in first village, build maximum amount of Imperians and send to 15c. You should send resources from 1st village to second village and concentrate on building your wheat fields only at this stage. Thus you are only using the 15c as a store. The first village becomes a feeder for the cropper. A normal 6444 village will produce about 1500 troops as long as you have a flour mill (25% Wheat Bonus) and a Bakery (25% wheat bonus)without any oases bonus or gold bonus. If you can take a wheat oases, this would be a huge advantage and try to take as many in your 7X7 as quick as you can.
As you use your 1st vill to mass produce troops and your capital to store them, you can have up to 10,000 plus troops when you need them. Just keep topping up your cropper with a couple of hundred troops a day which leaves all your resources in the 1st vill to keep producing maximum res.
Should you want to send your 10K troops at a big village, your 1st vill will be in minus wheat, but keep shipping wheat there from your cropper and they will survive long enough to get the job done.
Personally, I find that if you can dominate your area quickly a 15 c in your area is good as a second vill however if you are getting attacked a lot and there are stronger players in your area, it may be more useful to cranny up, build about 5 crannys and move further out into the wilderness for your second village. Look on the map to see where the noobs finish and go further out, maybe 100 fields or so until you find a nice spot with 9c’s and 15c’s close by with good wheat bonuses. Have a scan around to make sure you have no neighbours and once you are happy, build a 9c village. Then build a 15 c as your capital. Build the second village (9C) up quickly by sendigng res from the first and don’t build troops yet as you have no one close to attack or defend against. Once you have the Culture points for a 3rd vill, build your 15c and make it your Capital.
In a month or so you will have another village and the noobs will be starting to arrive on your doorstep which will present fresh meat for your raiders, but keep building troops in your 9c and storing them in your 15c.
This strategy works very well, any comments / suggestions?

You might want to edit a few things in your guide. Such as:
1. Let’s look at the roman basic foot soldier for a bit, the imperian. 40 offense, 35 infantry defense and 50 cavalry defense.
I believe you’re talking about the legionnaire here.
2. A 6444 can easily support a pretty big army on speed, so it’s more up to you there. If you play on speed and don’t use gold, you can chose a 6444 if you wish, but at least city number 4 or 5 has to be a 15 cropper.
I believe the type of village you’re talking about is 4-4-4-6.
There are many more errors throughout this article.

Normally I´ll make my first 1000 legionaries before start to be dominating.
The reason I do only leioniries on beginig is that anyone who spies on you always sees a lot of them and the number does have a repelent effect.
If you start doing too soon praetorians, imperians or Imperatoris you will never have a big army in numbers. No one in the right mind attacks at the beginning a player that have more than 600 legionaries. Cause they will have a big waist on resources.
So my max is do exclusively Legionaries till you have 1000. No one will attack you and they will help you farm for the next months.
And since, most likely to migrate to another area you get stuck with a very versatile army.

There was 1 Teuton that attack me before.. yesterday he sent some spies, at night he sent his clubs.. 428 =D.. so i regroup my imperatoris and sent a perfect phalanx. just in the same second his clubs arrive his village.. and bam! 428 clubs, 25 paladines, 2 emisaries and 7 spears!! i lost 24 imperatoris but its nothing compared to loss all his troops.. i still have my legionaries for raiding =D.. now i have 25 imperatoris again and my hero advance from grade 0 to 2 with 1 phalanx… with that attack.. now i am in the top 90 in the offensive ranking. and my hero is the strongest imperatoris in the server.. top 20 =D
sorry my english..

There’s a problem. I can’t research EIs because I can’t build academies! It says “lack of food: extend cropland first” when I have way more than enough resources to build one. I’m playing on server 10 btw

Nice guide…
I am an offensive player and been playing since 1 year as a teuton and I was thinking that teutons are the best tribe. But I was wrong. I started playing with Romans and I found that Romans ARE THE BEST.
Coz Romans have the strongest infantry. And Romans can extend resource field and building simultaneouly. I know that in the beginning it is tough to play with Romans but if you become developed than you can easily compete with Teutons….:)

I play all types of tribe. And find out that romans are the best to play. In the middle game. In the starting teutons are so rusher hussle although it’s possible to crush them with great preapered counter attack. I don’t really prefer IE i stack to the ground and get like 300-400 and then is time to take rid of that noobs in area.
Guide is superb
Thx.

yea, i use the guide, it works, but should you defend with legions or send them away with EIs on attack, call them back so that they get back after the clubs leave and then send an attack on him so his troops get back the same sec that his troops get home, then you kill all his troops and none die of yours, you can do it with 1 EI and kill 500 clubs, just by glitch

i meant send your troops to attack in the same second that his troops get home, this is a glitch that i dont want to report, because it works to my advantage
