This is my village after 2 days. Any advice? Do I need to build a cranny soon? Should I get up some military or concentrate on expanding my production? Any advice is welcome.

Keep expanding resourcesfields until most are lvl 3 or so and definately build a cranny. After that you will need warehouse/granary.

only 2 days ? - you have newbie protection for 7 days. That means you don't need to build buildings for about 6 days and after 6 days build a level 10 cranny. Keeps 1000 resources save.

Improve your lands equally - no point in having a level 3 wood next to a level 1 wood.

About the choice of tiles to improve: in general Clay >> Wood >> Iron >> food. But if lack of food is slowing you down, don't hesitate to overexpand food. Same for all resources; improve what you need. Although food is less needed than the other 3; buildings and resource-upgrading uses fpt.

I started 20 days ago, it seems, and so far I haven't built a cranny yet. :) Never been attacked, so until now a cranny was useless. I totally concentrated on resources, and kept erecting buildings at a minimum : warehouse and granary for night purpose (I don't feel like getting up at night to play and I don't want to pay the Plus service (building queue !! [eek] )), embassy today so as to not miss my application to the alliance (which is growing rapidly).

Currently finishing my level 6 resource fields. [thumbsup]

I think the building queue only lets you queue up one additional building and you need to already have the resources.

wow that makes plus suck even worse...

grs

Ok, I did no know about a 7-day protection period - the manual is very vague in this part iirc. I will continue improving lands until I need a granary and/or warehouse first.

I will need an account sitter for 2 accounts from tomorrow afternoon till sunday afternoon. Any volunteers?

grs

Is there really no one who can do some clicking for me for 2 days?

Kingreno
03-11-2006, 11:35
I will try. sorry for the late responce but friday is daddy day so it's not so easy to log in as it is at work. [:p]

grs

I entered you as sitter for my account on server 2. I just need upgrades on resource-fields and the cranny. You could build a barracks to train some legions on sunday.

Ginger_Ale
03-11-2006, 14:10
Sure, I will do it grs.

I'm here the whole weekend...do you know how it actually works? Is there just a "grs' village" link when I log in or something?

Kingreno
03-11-2006, 14:36
Type in Catilina instead of your own login name but use your normal own password. but I dunno if he made you a sitter before his absence.

grs
03-11-2006, 15:02
I added both K-R and Ginger_Ale as sitters; thank you!

grs
05-11-2006, 16:21
I am back, thank you very much!

Kingreno
05-11-2006, 17:32
anytime. Improved some fields. Nothing more.

grs
19-11-2006, 11:23
This is simply taking too much time for me...so I am thinking about giving up my account. If anyone wants to take over, just message me.

Ginger_Ale
19-11-2006, 16:13
Really? You and I have about the same population, and I just need to log in a few times a day, like morning, afternoon, night. Unless you have units that you constantly need to move around, this game doesn't seem to me at least to take up lots of time. Anyway - if you do give up your account, you might as well send the resources you have to other people (assuming a marketplace).

Kingreno
19-11-2006, 21:35
Indeed. just make sure total crannie capacity * 2/3 = warehouse/grannary full. You could og in once a day and just send it all to whoever needs it. If, for whatever reason you get more time you can always pick it up again!

So I continued playing and now have my first oasis (+25% iron and crop). K-R: expect 2k crop in 5 hours.

Togidubnus
08-12-2006, 00:52
what is an oasis then? +25% sounds like a GOOD THING!

Tubby Rower
08-12-2006, 02:09
those forests, claypits, iron mines, and cropland that are shown on the big screen

socralynnek
08-12-2006, 02:13
now I have Occupied such a thing. How do I see the bonus or do I even get it?

Tubby Rower
08-12-2006, 02:21
your production yields should reflect it after conquering it.

You can see the oasis(es) that you have conquered in your hero's mansion

Togidubnus
08-12-2006, 14:39
do you just need a hero or does he need some soldiers to go with him?

Tubby Rower
08-12-2006, 14:43
well you technically just need a hero, but I would send troops as I've seen animals show up while my attack was in transit. otherwise you'll be risking your hero for no reason.

Togidubnus
08-12-2006, 18:39
and I need a level 10 hero's mansion, yes? not just a lowly level 0 hero?

Ginger_Ale
08-12-2006, 18:43
Yeah, you need a level 10 hero's mansion. I think it also has to be within that 7x7 grid of the map of the surrounding tiles of your city, but I'm not sure. You can read what help.travian.com has to say about heroes and oases...

Tubby Rower
08-12-2006, 18:57
yes GA is correct. if you can't see it while your village is centered then you can't conquer it, but you can attack it for resources and experience for your hero. You can conquer it with a level 0 hero but you will need a hero's mansion level 10 for 1 oasis, level 15 for 2 oases and level 20 for 3 oases. Your hero can be transfered to your other cities by reinforcing the village. Then the village that it attacks from is the village that gets the oasis (if the appropriate level of the mansion is made).

Ginger_Ale

I only have 1 conquerable oasis (+25% clay) :(.

grs
10-12-2006, 11:16
You should test results at the ralley point before planning to conquer one. I depends on the animals in it and the resources you get. I was lucky to have a +50% oasis with only the 4 weekest animals in it.

Togidubnus
10-12-2006, 11:58
is there any way of knowing how much bonus you will get before launching the attack?

Could anyone send me between 1.000 and 1.500 iron soon please? I will happily repay in crop.

Tubby Rower
11-12-2006, 19:54
it'll be 21 hours, but you have 1500 coming from me

grs
11-12-2006, 20:11
Um, no 21 hours is way too much. You can cancel if you like. I don't even know if there is anyone within a few hours to me.

Ginger_Ale
11-12-2006, 20:30
I sent you 1000 iron; it'll be there in about 5.5 hours.

grs

Superb, thank you!

Togidubnus

does anyone have any crop they can spare? I am falling behind on production of that commodity and need to get some more resource development going, for which I need, you guessed it, crop!

I have send you 2000 crop, the merchants need 20 h to get to you.

Ginger_Ale
04-01-2007, 13:52
I sent 2500 crop to you, Togidubnus. I must be much closer than socralynnek! My granary is nearly full at 37900 crop, so I'm happy to give some away!

Togidubnus i've send you 3000 crop.. If you need more, just let me know..

Togidubnus

thanks Tofra - all fine for now thanks to all the help. I should be able to get most fields up to 10 shortly now.

Rik Meleet

I'm a bit short on crop myself. Not that I need other players' food, but I can't spare right now.

Ginger_Ale

Rik, if you need any, just let me know (same for Togidubnus).

Catalin
06-01-2007, 01:58
hey people! may I ask for some resources? It's not the most honorable thing to do but.. I'm small and I would like to get bigger... I try to get my hero's mansion higher so I can take abandoned valleys. Now I have it at level 5, and costs for level 6 are:
2915 | 2790 | 2915 | 1000

My warehouse is not so large; it can hold only 3100 resources, so if some of you are willing to help me, please do not send too much. Let's say something between 200 and 500 of each resources could help me get this building done?

thank you

hi gents,
I am saving for my level 10 hero's residence: can anyone spare resources? I am currently having to wait a little over 22 hours for sufficient on my own production rate! costs for upgrading are 9115 - 8725 - 9115 - 3125 (but I am fine and dandy on crop thanks).
all help gratefully received!
