Free Browser Game-Travian

[Grov]

Travian.  One account per server, per email account. 

Server 5 just restarted.  Game lasts @ 13 months.  Free. Real time based. Construction, combat.  Nothing twitchy.  If you get to population 75, I get a little in game hookup. Takes very little to get to 75.


Here's a link to join.

I registered last night, and read a bit of the manual, but then I realized how late it was and decided to save it for when I was feeling better and more rested, so I could appreciate it more...

Looks like lots of fun, though! It really does remind me of Settlers of Catan a bit, just a little more fleshed out...

Maybe I'll be able to play for a while tonight!

Once you start, it's going.  You are collecting resources when you aren't logged on and so is everyone else.  Set it and forget it after a bit.  Minutes for contruction early on then hours, then multiple hours, then days, I am told.

[Rani Zemirah]

Wow... you mean I can play even when I'm not playing??? Sounds like my kind of game!  LOL

OMG! Another Travian addict....lol. Sir Morgan and I have been playing it for about a year now. It is very addictive... especially when you start using gold.

[Rani Zemirah]

And a budding one in me, I think! I've already used a bit of gold to buy more resource production, and I'm waiting on my army...

[Luciana]

I'm building on my village ... slow and steady.

Grov... set and forget... no not really. This is a war game and it can be rather harsh at times. Setting and forgetting is a great way to become what is known as a farm. Once word gets out that you are a farm you will be raided unmercilessly. I've been  playing this game since last year. I'm currently playing on server 5 and server 7. Server 7 started back in July or August and I've been there since the beginning.
It is an addicting game and lots of fun. Just be prepared to defend you villages and go out on raids.
Two helpful things in the game: crannies.... several of them.... and gold.
If anyone is need of some helpful ideas let me know. I'd be happy to help out a fellow rennie.

More than one Cranny? Hadn't thought of that. 
What I mean about set and forget is that you don't have to watch it 24/7.  For some reason my laptop doesn't allow me access to the login screen, so unless I can get a safe peek from a customers comp or swing by the office, I can only guide my growth in the mornings and evenings.  Gives me about 12 hours during the day that I just collect resources.

[Celtic Lady]

Yep more than one cranny. Once the first gets to level 10 you can build more than one.

[Rani Zemirah]

Seems to take forever to build enough to actually get an army! I still have several hours to go, but I'm up to a population of 19... and my resource production is growing.

[Celtic Lady]

So what tribe did you join? I'm a gaul. I felt like they were the closest to the celts.

[Grov]

3rd village on 3rd server, first Gaul. Started Roman, then Tueton.

[Rani Zemirah]

Roman

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?
