let's play

Travian has a special unit referred to as the “hero”. Unlike the other units your hero can gain experience with every battle that he engages in and kills troops. Even if your hero dies he will still get experience from the troops that were killed.

If you are an offensive player, attacking units and building up your hero can be very easy, since you have the right kind of units that need to escort him into battle. However, as a defensive player this can be a problem since defending units make terrible attackers.

How do you solve this problem?

Having a hero and making him powerful ads a fun element to the game that should not ignored. For the first half of the server however, you will have to accept that with the exception of raiding oases, your hero will not level up very much. About halfway through the server things will change.

As a defensive player you can always have an offensive army even though it is not your primary goal. Halfway through the server bring your blacksmith to 20 in one of your villas and upgrade your best offensive unit to level 20 (imperians, axmen, swordsmen). At the same time start building a “mini-hammer” in that village. I’ve seen some pretty impressive 30,000 “mini-hammers” that build level 20-25 heroes.

Accept that you will have to wait until half of the server is done. This is because you need to have enough internal strength to focus on both offensive and defensive troops in an effective way.

Good luck!

So far we have gone through a series of tips and tricks to help along Travian. This game is highly addictive. If you play more than a couple of weeks will be planning the day around the game when playing speed server, it takes a matter of days.

Any addiction aside, Travian is a war game and no matter how "nice" They try to attack the long run. Here are some tips on what kind of troops to use the building to take defense bonds.

Romans:

Praetorians are probably the best defensive units in the game, especially when calculating the cost of wheat raised by the defense. Put them in 1000 in a village with a wall at 20, than any attacker twice to attack what you think. While macem to kill the phalanx and fun items for the hero that most offensive players will not kill the way Praetorians. As a defensive player, only really need to build thousands of these tanks.

Germany:

If you are a Teuton, you will find that human Mace costs almost nothing and carry a lot of resources. While you want to build with spears and Praetorians for trade with someone to build a perfect defense (100 nozzles are worth about 65 Praetorians) for the building trade before the Academy clubs. They are based on men's club for more of the fields of resources. Furthermore, the Germans have a bonus against cracks. A few thousand spears will help enormously, but try to change something to Praetorians, because they are the best.

Gaul:

Gauls are Falange, which are pretty useless if they can improve, but can store large quantities of them built in a relatively short time. It is not uncommon to build between 20,000 and (in the server speed) in a weekend. Its strength lies in numbers.

This essential guide gives you something to learn on how to set about the game. Once the hang of it, you must attack other players. In the meantime, defense and gaming experience to build this article as a guide.
