TRAVIAN : Browsergame :Build villages & go to war! NEW : TRAVIANER (info : last page)

[dbartucci]

My guys have been walking for 4 hours, in another 8 they'll arrive and I'll set up my second village.

 

[Div is back]

Upgrading Palace to lvl 10 is costly...damn it's going to take me a week or more to have settlers!

 

[Carl.]

Nice!

Prepare those merchants for a serious workout!

 

[TsLeng]

So you decided to place them far far away?

In a deserted land? Or right in the middle of enemies....

Anyways, I gone for the no risk plan which is to basically build my new village a couple of squares away from my 1st.
Should make for a peacefull progress.

If anyone wanna have a new village, come to my place, its a peacefull neighbourhood ya know....downside is farms are farther away. 👍

 

[TB]

TsLeng, my suggestion is move further away. There are many of us in this area all fighting for farms. If you move further away, you'll have access to fresh farms.

If you can go to the "outer rim", it's farming heaven Although It's a pain in the first stages since you rely primarily on your merchants for ressources. You also have to found a spot without serious competition. I bet some were not expecting to find 14 equites imperatoris coming from a village with around 100 or population.

 

[TsLeng]

That was what i was thinking.

But Im no risk taker(thats why im gaul ) so I decided to play it safe this round.
I am also afraid of logistic problems and I dun have an army to counter-attack anyone who may attack my 2nd village.

Once everything works out, Im sure a 3rd village will come soon. Then I may place it far far away....

 

[TB]

It would probably be a smart move to have troops to defend the new village. Otherwise, it's a sitting duck. Without a doubt, I'm setting up my next village a ways out. What defensive troops and how many do you have?

 

[TsLeng]

Why I cannot send res to my new village? Everytime I try to send, some text come out of with duration, merchants...but the res never gets there!!! 💡
do i need a marketplace there too?

Frankly, I have a pathetic defence. Im gonna concentrate on phalanx for defence once eveything settles down.

 

[Div is back]

TsLeng, what is your production? Just to get a measure of when I should start saving up for Settlers.

I'm at 280 everywhere.

 

[TsLeng]

Oh, dumb dumb me....

I have to press OK 2 times to send the resources.

My res are at 310/370/340/188 at the time i start savin up for settlers. Raiding helps too.

 

[standard235]

Wow. That was so close. I saved 3900 wood.

I logged on to see an atack in under 5 mins from Alarich.

Developed imperatoris! And sent my guys on an attack.

PWNED!

 

[dbartucci]

I set my second village in a very dense area with some people as high as 50 pop. like JP said I'm going to blast through, get some eq. imps and destroy them, as though they were HollowMan.

And I've decided to name my second village Bikini Bottom II, in memory of the man who financed it.

 

[Div is back]

Here's my to-do list:

Academy - Up to lvl 10, I'm Lvl 7
Palace - Up to Lvl 10, I'm Ivl 3
Ressources - Up to lvl 8, I'm lvl 7 for every thing at the moment
Army - 40 imperians,30 equites imperatoris/ I have 0 imperians, 15 equites
Warehouse - up to 8000 res, I'm at 5100

The problem is, I don't know which one I should put the priority on.

 

[Div is back]

I feel retarded, I mean, in the game...

 

[TsLeng]

Are you under threat from attacks?

If not, just proceed with the palace and build settlers.

Dun bother with your army unless its for raiding.

also, you might want to send your settlers somewhere safe to protect them.

But since your close to me, I assume nobody is bothering you. Peaceful neighbourhood..... 👍

Depends really. If you don't have a lot of farms around you it may be better to concentrate on ressources (upgrading the warehouse as needed), and go for a residence and settlers as soon as you can. Equites imperatoris are by far the best roman units for farming anyway, don't rush on creating legions of imperians yet.

 

[TB]

Bikini Bottom II. That's awesome. Why not Bikini Bottom-R?

I have to continue my TiVo theme. Village 2 will be named "Now Playing."

 

[dbartucci]

Bikini Bottom-R

Div, if you decided to build a palace instead of a residence and you're fully aware of how costly the upgrades are, but feel that your raids can support that then press ahead, but given your production levels it'll take you days to level up, let alone the 72,500 resources needed to build 3 settlers.

If I were you I'd work on resources more, but it's your call.

 

[TB]

Resources are always your best bet. I've been working on researching Haeduans. Who knew a level 15 Academy would set you back so much? I upgraded my Warehouse so I could build a level 13 Academy. I went back in to see how much a level 14 is and it told me to extend my Warehouse.

Stupid Travian.

Level 14 is - 5445 | 3960 | 2230 | 990 | 3 | 4:26:20, by the way.

 

[dbartucci]

TB, and everyone all the building costs are on the wiki, here: http://dhost.info/travian2005/Wiki/index.php/Upgrade_Costs

So guess no more.




EDIT: Lvl 15 acad. will cost 6970 | 5070 | 2850 | 1270 btw.

Tell me about it...

Luckily I've uncovered some cash cows nearby

 

[Div is back]

I built a palace because I thought it was suppose to make my village the capital.

I did not know it was so costly to upgrade.

 

[dbartucci]

You've gotta be kidding me, Sgt. Pepper, who I hit for 5000 res. today and was looking like a great HollowMan replacement quit too.

I feel your pain Boom.

How am I supposed to advance when all my farms quit?!?!

You rape their village then wonder why they quit, haha.

 

[Carl.]

It's because they cancelled their accounts by themselves (takes 3 days I think), otherwise It would be pretty empty around me by now...


Edit: the turtle in my avatar is a sprinter compared to their servers lately.

 

[VenomFX220]

I can't even connect anymore...

 

[Slicks]

Yeah, they've been really slow. In fact, it's not even working for me right now.

Just as a general question, how long are you all travelling for raids?? I have gone over 5 hours sometimes, but it is kinda pointless because they have so much advance notice.

 

[dbartucci]

me neither, travian.net is down too.

.org seems ok though for a change. ususally it's the other way around.

Not more than one hour, usually about 30 minutes or less.

Long distances are good for overnight raids though.
