Maybe I should check if my village still exists. Last time I was there was a week ago. 

[Grov]

uh, yea.  That might be a good idea, haha.

[Luciana]

LOL ... that is the reason I cannot commit to games on line. I have no time to play them.

[Rani Zemirah]

Got another, more travian experienced, friend helping guide my village.  She's got me out raiding with only a few troops already.  Picked up a hundred or so resources so far and not lost a single guy.  Anyone else getting out there?

No... and I'm a bit frustrated! I'm being farmed by more than one powerful alliance, and they keep hitting me just before I get enough resources built up to upgrade anything at all!!! I'm probably going to delete and start over on another server... and immediately start building up crannies, regardless of what the guide tells me to do! Oh well... play and learn!  LOL

Luci, you're village is probably nothing more than a farm by now, also, unfortunately! You can't leave it, or it will be raided constantly...

[Grov]

Build some crannies to hide your stuff.  Once the don't get anything a couple times, they stop.

[Rani Zemirah]

Believe me, I would if they ever let me build up enough resources! I've got a level 4 cranny, and it still isn't enough to stop them!

[Grov]

get your cranny capacity over your holding capacity and they won't get any/much.  Or you could pop out a troop and let him kill one of theirs when they come around.  I doubt there are any really huge armies yet.

[Rani Zemirah]

can't train any of those, either... never enough resources to train more than one legionnaire, and against 9-10 units he doesn't even stand a chance. I've lost 6 already, one at a time...

I just wanna be a Gaul... LOL

[Grov]

Buckle down as best you can.  Feel free to start another but they are likely to be worse.  You are seeing 9-10.  I saw 231 on sever 6. And I am still there building.

[Rani Zemirah]

I'll stick with it, and even if I end up having to delete, I'll still start over again! I'll at least stay with this village until I get up to a pop. of 75, though... I'm at 42, now.

[Rani Zemirah]

WOOHOO!!! Managed to upgrade cranny to level 4 and in three attacks since 6pm they got NOTHIN'!!!!!!! Of course they killed my only legionnaire... again... but still, they got $#!+ for their troubles!!! So I guess I'll just continue to upgrade the cranny, until I can afford more than one unit at a time...

Oh, I saw the attacks coming, and since I didn't have enough resources to upgrade again, I built a granary to spend down so I didn't have much, just in case... LOL  Not gonna roll over for it anymore!!!

I've been raiding for the past few days with 12 phalanx. I did lose a few due to being raided myself.... I forgot to send them out for the night on a 4 hour raid. I did end up with enough resources to train a few more and then i started the raiding.

Bravo, Rani. I'm glad to hear that they got nothing. Like Grov said if they get zip zilch nada they generally back off. Occasionally you may get scouted or raided just to see if you are still paying attention.

Bit of advice to everyone on the game... when you are able to train scouts, pathfinders, or equites legatis do so. This will allow you to see if someone is scouting your village. Your tribe's scout will stop the other scout from reporting back... just remember that it is on a 1:1 basis. If they send 5 scouts and you only have 2 they will have 3 reporting back. This applies for each of your villages that you have in the future.

yay travian, the boyfriend and i were playing for a while, got to be too much to keep up with (wars and stuff) my advice- get a sitter, a good trustworthy sitter.

[Grov]

Not up on the lingo really, but the ex that turned me onto the game is also making decisions in this server 5 village.  I found this out when I noticed that I had spend gold on a bunch of things. 
I said "You spending my gold?"
She said, "Yes, I bought it for you, so I can spend it for you."
I said, "Yes, maam. Make good choices."

Guess she could be considered a sitter?

[Celtic Lady]

ummm... do you have her set up as your sitter or is she logging into your account on her own (with your password)? if she is logging into  your account is it from your computer or a different one? and does she have her own account? reason i ask is because if she has her own account but also logs into your account from a different computer (meaning her own computer) she and/or you could possibly banned due to a rule violation. i know because it happened to me recently on s7. you would have to set her up as your sitter or as a same computer user. you will find this listed in your travian profile and under the heading "account".
