michael Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 http://www.travian.com It's all a bit 12-sided dice but it helps me get through the boring days at work, simple but very addictive. Totally web based, nothing to download. If you do sign up I'm on server 4, server 6 is newer though so the competition isn't as well established. Useful link for game info here: http://dhost.info/travian2005/Wiki/index.php/Main_Page This is my new 'Ash Racing' for those of you who used to play that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Did you run Ash racing then? If so, why did you delete my account when I didn't log on for five minutes? I went on holiday, leaving a reasonable car, and expecting a nice pot of free cash when I got back...instead my account was gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Looks like you can only register on servers 1 or 6 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Did you run Ash racing then? Nope, I just used to play it a lot, I was number 1 for a while and then got bored If so, why did you delete my account when I didn't log on for five minutes? I went on holiday, leaving a reasonable car, and expecting a nice pot of free cash when I got back...instead my account was gone That was standard practice, something crap like a 7 day period and then you were kicked off, very crap.

Thorin Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 says something about a new version of the game on server 1. Might register and join that one at lunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I've been playing Trav on the old S1 for about a year now. The new S1 V3 has just started so now's the time to get in. You haven't lived until you've experienced the thrill of waking up at 3:30am to send off 3000 troops, only to log on at work in lunch time to discover they've been slaughtered. "None of your troops have returned" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 It does take over your life doesn't it "I can't come to bed just yet dear, I have to start a crop field building at level 10" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Joined on server 1, have no idea what I'm doing but have already started building a granary, cranny, and upgrading some crop land. Any tips greatly received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Work on getting your main building level up as high as you can while building resources, this will allow you to build things faster later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 And cranny, make sure your cranny covers what you can store in your granary and warehouse. A fair few people have 10-20 troops now, so you risk becoming a farm to them. Therefore by using your cranny to ensure they walk away with nothing, they'll stop bothering you. DON'T, repeat, DON'T send abusive igm's to those that attack you, because then they'll just keep attacking you for ever until you give up the game. Let the attacks come in, make sure they get nothing, and wait until you can build a big enough army for revenge. In the early stages of army building, you need to protect your troops from attack, therefore keep them marching out of the village overnight. If you can find a small pop. village, say 5 hours march away, then raid it overnight, that way your troops are away for 10 hours. (100 troops is not a big army BTW, think 1000's and 1000's of men and horses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Ooh I didn't know you could upgrade that. Ok so keep upgrading that and just build up resources for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I'm Raithmir on server 1 by the way. Presume there's alliances or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Both you and Edd_T are more than 8 hours away from me, I'll not be raiding you at that distance. (that and I've got no troops at all) There are many alliances, a lot of the game is politics and diplomacy. In the first S1 I made good friends with a lot of the LOKI alliance, which meant that anyone attacking our little alliance would suddenly be met with 6000 cavalry at the drop of a hat. I managed to finish in the top 450 in that one, considering I joined halfway through the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Should you want to create a Supra alliance, someone will need to build a level 3 embassy. That will allow 3 members to join, extra members are allowed in for further levels of the embassy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
