Free Browser Game-Travian

So, I've finally started to figure out a few things... like spending down resources when I see an attack coming, no matter what I have to spend it on, I just get what I can afford since I have no defenses at the moment. I still can't get my grain production up to the same level as the other resources, and I've already upgraded all my fields to 2's.

Today I upgraded my granary to a 2 just because an attack was coming and I couldn't afford anything else, and I didn't even discover I could afford that until 2 minutes before the attack hit!!!  LOL

i try to get my wheat/grain up at least 1 level higher than the other resources as it seems to taker forever for it build up. the other reason is because it goes down every time you build/upgrade anything.

All my fields are higher than everything else I have... and it still is always at least 5-6 times lower than any other resource... It also goes down to feel the villagers...

Thanks for the heads up

travian actually has a sitter function, in your settings there is a place where you add your sitter's name, that person logs in by typing your name in and their own password. A person on the same computer as you can not be your sitter, but I believe that peope under the same IP can (i'm NOT sure, so check first, I haven't played since November)

What about when I log in at different computers?

Here is a rule clarification that was posted when you log in to travian:

The new in-game rule clarifications and changes have now been published. They will go into effect in about 5 days, on 11-Feb-09 (Wednesday) at 3:01am EST. Note that the clarifications are simply adding to the current rules to make more clear what is already being enforced so that everyone knows and understands the rules better. The only actual change is with friendly conquering, and since it will be system enforced now, there is nothing to "get used to" as those system rules have been there since day 1. Please see below a brief description of the clarifications / changes.

Clarifications:

1. Same computer usage - has been clarified to mean same internet connection, so if you regularly play from the same internet connection as another player you need to list each other as same computer usage. This does not apply to public places like libraries, schools, coffee shops, etc, as you would not reasonably know everyone who played there.

There is more to the clarified rules but this one pertains to sitters and same computer useage.

SO I only have to worry if someone is running their village from my same computer.  Since I use up to a dozen different comps throughout the day to check on mine, that would be quite impossible to register and track.

Well, I'm still surviving, I guess... population of 52, cranny level 7 which keeps raiders from getting much as long as I spend down in the face of an attack, which also means I have an awesome infrastructure, but little else. I've managed to survive 10-15 attacks a day losing very little to no resources this way, without even a single unit of legionnaires, for a week, now... LOL  I just added a marketplace, and I'm thinking of becoming a trader, since I'm having no luck building an army so far...

Next game will be much different, I can already tell...
