Travian Building tips
This are just a few building tips for travian that I think might be usefull. At least this is how I go about doing this, and it’s worked well for me. This is just stuff I try to follow whenever I start up a new village, to make it grow as quickly and efficiently as possible.
1. Warehouse and granary first.
I always spend gold whenever I build a new village to get the warehouse and granary up 4-5 levels. It’s so much easier building the other things up quickly when you’ve got good space in your warehouse and granary for resources. This is assuming you send resources from several other villages to your new one.
2. Main building.
If you don’t want to use much gold, it’s nice to get the main building up to a decent level so that the building speed is quicker. Building the main building takes a lot of time though, so do this when you’re waiting for other resources to come in or have to log off for a while.
3. Place buildings in the same spots.
It’s just so much easier to find the right building in your village when you place them in the same spots in every single village you build. I usually put the buildings of similar type close to each other as well, like stable and barracks close,
etc.
4. Put up the culture buildings quickly.
The embassy for one, is real cheap to build to the first level, the academy is fairly cheap too, so I think it’s a good idea to just put them up there as soon as possible and let them stand and gather culture points for you.
5. Gold and resource fields.
If you have the resources and want to get your production in a new village up quickly, I suggest using gold to get one resource of each to level 10. Getting one field of each type to level 10 increases your production a lot, and the gold cost is far less than keeping them at the same level to reach the same production.
This is all for now, will add more later.
Hi i am new to this site it was reckemended to my by a member of my alliance on server 3, some of my members are been attcked by cattas and a huge amount of troops and i need information on how to save his resources i know the cranny method But i need more information on this so could you create a section on defending cattas.

Hey Burnleyfc,
you should try to avoid cattas as much as possible. But wait up im not sure if you mean with catapults or just regular troops, well.
If you get attacked with just raids with no catapults then you should really be able to get your recourses under your cranny, if not upgrade cranny. But if you are not active enough to be watching out when your being attacked, then get a sitter (whether it be in your alliance or in real life) to be looking on for that purpose. Eventually the player will stop attacking you, seeing its not worth it.
If you are being attacked by catapults (this is if hes much larger opponent). well thats not too much you can do. Send him a polite IGM saying to please stop, it gets you nowhere etc. Usually he should stop; but sometimes they might keep on attacking, then you need to click on the player and if he is in an alliance click on leader and bring up an IGM. Say in this what is happening (again politely) and say that he has no reason and you have asked him etc. Then if that doesnt work,
YOUR STUFFED >:)

What do you mean by using gold to increase one field of each type to level 10? You can’t spend gold to level up your fields.

By using gold to upgrade your fields he means the “Complete construction orders and researches in this village immediately” tool. Which costs 2 gold I think. You upgrade your field, then use the tool, and then upgrade, etc etc.

@ J.D
I believe he means that you level them up the regular way i.e using resources, then upgrade them quickly using gold. This way the game won’t slow down considerably while you are leveling up every field evenly. I personally prefer the keep all four resources even in terms of production. It really comes down the personal preference, and individual play style

i think it’s also prudent, on top of leveling up warehouse and granary, to level up crannies too, else when a raid party crashes your village, your resources in will just be stolen.
another addition to putting up embassy and academy, i think it’s also wise to spend money first on residence so that your new village will have a decent loyalty support. you don’t want all your hardwork go to waste when a chief/chieftain/senator will come and steal your new village away.

its an interesting sybject using gold. i personally am online always 24/7 with my sitter. so i dont like to use my gold its much better to keep gold for emergancies such as and attack and then you can sudenly cranny up. or if no emergancy comes up i make a plus acount and then upgrade loads in that time! use your pluss at the beggining of a day and then you can make 3 things or 2 things if ur tueton or gaul rather than 2/1. so gold should be used sparingly and carefully making sure you think about it before!

More resources than your cranny can handle and a big attack coming in NO PROBLEM. You have to be online when the attacks are coming in for this to work. You also need lots of merchants. Before the attack comes in (5-10min) go to the market and make an offer with as many resources as your merchant can carry, then send them off. The resources go with them. After the attack go to your market and cancel the offer and your resources (and merchants) are immediately back.

Mathematically, keeping your resource fields at the same level is efficient. You’re wasting resources if you up a pad to level 10 without bringing everything else with it.

1 if you have send your resources via the market place you can NOT cancel them
2 if goods are in the marketplace on offer and not sent they can be stolen
3 haveing your resources feilds production is a bad idea
each tribe uses differnt lvls of resources eg tuton needs more wood
gual needs more clay
roman needs more iron
plus if you are upgradeing grain feilds you need more clay
if you are tuton and are upgradeing your earth wall you need zero iron and it will overflow
if you are roman and have started to make horsemen you need wood more than iron
during different times in the game you need differnet ratio of resources and production should match that
putting stuff on the market place just tells your enemys that you have an exess in sime resources and if they need it and are bigger why swap if they can take it free
finally
after playing travian for a year or so im convinced guides such as this one are misinformation designed to turn you into a productive farm
today i was looking for a trade of iron and i saw a guy had it at rip off prices 8 min from me
i looked at his profile and he had some tough comments and was only 120 populatin i was 560 population
i took his resources for free and now he is my farm
lucky for me he didnt match his resources production to his needs
personaly in the first day or two i only build iron to lvl 1 clay to lvl 3 and wood to lvl 2 i build a crannie after thast before begginers protection ends
finally pp that use their gold for resources production before they have decent production lvls are fools
25% of 100 is 25 25% of 1000 is 250
plus using it for fast uprade times is also the act of a player that is yet to realise the game take over 3 months to play

Jag tror att spelare som säger använd sparsamt på guldet inte har råd själva med det .
Guld ger en ett riktigt bra försprång.
