State of Progress: Travian, World 5



I finally managed to build up some semblance of a defence. 151 Praetorians. I had not expect to be attacked daily initially. With the army, it bought some breathing space and I was able to develop a few of the resource-generating sites to level 10.



At level ten, these sites enabled the building of a bakery,a brickyard, a sawmill and an iron foundry which further enhanced production rates. The village is getting developed and picturesque. I had had to demolish some crannies to make way for these new buildings.



The environs. Sadly, an ally has quit nearby.

Seems to be going well. How long have you been playing Travian? :)

Travian. To be honest, the pace is way too slow and I am not focused.

I have been playing a lot more Tribal Wars than Travian. However, I prefer the graphics in Travian over the dismal images in Tribal Wars.

I have thoughts of dropping Travian.

Maybe I'll be able to offer you an alternative to Travian in 2-3 months:). I'm working with couple of friends on a game, very similar to Travian and Tribal Wars, but much improved in every area of the game. Faster pace, bigger resource production, making soldiers from 4 buildings in each village, troops changing every 3 months when the game switches to a new age, outposts that extend the range of the offensive armies .. etc. The extras are way too many to mention.

Have a nice day :)

Well, do let me know. I certainly hope that you have a historical-based one. I'm not too enthused with fantasy-based ones.

Well, the four civilizations in-game are Papal State, Hanseatic League, Mongols and Valachia. Since most units of each civilization change every 3 months when entering a new era, there are a total of 112 military units in the game, all from the history of Europe. Its set in the Medieval Ages, somewhere between the 1400's and 1800's.

This is certainly interesting!

I guess you will have Mongol archers, Teutonic Knights and so forth?

Teutonic Knights no :). But there will be others like Chivalric Knights, Gothic Seargents, Swiss pikemen, Heralds .. etc :)

Hi - stumbled upon this doing a Travian-related search.. This takes me back some time. Travian starts off deceptively simple and slow-paced.. But before too long you are starting a new village every week and it gets to be more to do. It's looking like you probably want to be expanding to a 2nd village now, with resources from your first you can more quickly build a second. Good luck if you continue to play!
