We know there is the ‘In Game’ or Travian world (the server you play on) and players real geographical location on planet earth or the ‘Real’ world. Understanding this simple concept may help you optimise your chances of survival and ability to thrive in game. People all over the planet are playing at any one time, but regardless of where players are situated in real life, most tend to sleep for at least a few hours a day. This gives the Travian world regular daily cycles of activity and inactivity depending upon where the majority of players live and which server you are on. Continue Reading…

Introduction
Perhaps one of the least talked about aspects of Travian is the interaction with other players. If you spend any time playing Travian you will come across newbie’s and very experienced players. You will come across fools and idiots, people who attack before checking that your population is ten times theirs and apologise like mad before their attack comes in. I even had one player attack me, apologise and then send back all of the plundered resources by merchant plus the cost of the two troops they killed (we couldn’t work out a fair price for the rat, I figured that was a favour). You will have BIG scary players in BIG scary alliances to deal with, your immediate neighbours, allies, confederacies, non-aggression pacts, attackers, farms…it is potentially such a big part of the game and really can determine your fate.

The whole point of the game Travian is to build your population and high ranks. To grow your population, you need to upgrade your resources, and you can even grow in population if you build troops.
Usually, a player will want to create another village. Having a second village is ideal when trying to grow bigger and become a stronger and more aggresive player. The recommended population should be about 300+
before you start to make a new village. You will need alot of resources for it, because the settlers cost alot. Continue Reading…

This is not a strategy post, but it’s about a change that I think should be made to travian. Right now you can send out as many attacks as you want at the same time in travian, and to be among the top raiders of any server you have to take advantage of this. I’m usually in the top 10 plunder list on any server I play when I’m a teuton, and the way to get there is to raid hundreds of villages simultaneously. I’ve watched accounts of players that are even more extreme than me with close to 1,000 attacks outgoing and returning at the same time. Continue Reading…

Travian version 3.5 is coming to more and more servers now. I haven’t played much on any servers with this version of travian myself, so I’m wondering what the people visiting here think about it. There are a few new buildings like the horse watering place, which I’ve posted a picture of here, as well as an improved trapper and a brewery. The watering place is for romans, trapper obviously for gauls and the brewery for teutons.
There will also be a few other new features like more artifacts, interface changes as well as new combinations for resource tiles. All in all it doesn’t seem like such a huge change to me. I’m not playing much at the moment however, so would be cool if people could post some comments on what they think about T3.5.

I haven’t been writing here in a long time, so I thought I should just write a short post about a travian tip here now. I just got the idea since it’s just happened to me on the server I’m playing at. I’m just playing the account there solo, and recently I haven’t had much time to look after it.
Well the travian tips of today is the crop lock. It’s very annoying since you basically have to spend a lot of gold to fix your village again, and if you only have one village left and don’t have any friends to help you, you’re really in trouble.
