Travian...

If anyone is interested I recently joined server 9, new server, just for kicks.

s9.travian.com

Ubi/Teutons

Humz... never played this before. How does it work?

Stay away!! Its a horrible horrible time consumer.

If the devil had a game name it would be Travian

I'll play travian again but not until we have a complete and full CF crew playing it and our objective is to 100% completely dominiate the entire server and prevent anyone from completing the game.

IE kill everyone. More players dead in travian = more sleep time.

Oh and Matt, if you think World of Warcraft (with the farming/raiding/etc) was time consuming. Travian is about 5x worse. =). Travian is basically a 24/7 game, literally.

However, I was quite happy with the results of our last Travian adventure. Nearly 100% dominiation. We just didn't complete the silly level 100 building to end the game.

I've played other games like this and dominated. Won't say that'll be the case being my first time playing this one. Join up, Tim. You know how we are when we play together... think team melee.

Travian = Mega Stress

Nothing like waking up just befor an attack to fix defences and run away offence troops at 4am in the morning.

Accounts gotta be Co-Played just so ppl don't go insaine.

You didn't say which starting position you were in. BTW South West and South East are the best places to start out.

Did random since I know nothing of the game... -130/-124.

Starting position is one of the most important things in the game, If your spread out from your buddies your toast 4 months in =\

Right now I have no buddies, so what's it matter? lol

Randomly put me in the Southwest anyways. :O

I'll be your buddy once Ubi gets on and says where to start, might as well use this server to get ppl some experience.

Unless the server is still under a weak old.

Server just started 4 days ago. I'd suggest getting it started.

We'd need around 60 guys active with at least 20+ co players to own the majority of a sector.

Then we'd need 5 of thoes guys to be active leaders.

You want to take on that job matt

I laugh everytime I see this, because of the ppl that wear body paint hehe.

Not like I have anything better to do. Anyhow, if Ubi is using Ubi as his name/etc his position is in the northeast.

Btw. Virem/Virmopolis = name/city

Yeah I'm in the northeast, 45,165.

Really I'm just playing for the hell of it. Of course, if we get a bunch of CFers to play we could go for domination...

I also have an email list of a bunch of others who wanted to know when CF was going to play Travian again.

I picked South West as Burns
-134-125 Roman

I just realized I can play this during my free's at school. I will OWN you all, I think ubi should repick down in the SW with us.

Ubi remember the NE was supper packed with ppl and the other 3 quadrents just sat their and watched us fight it out while supporting who ever was weaker.

Only 5 squares from matt! Lets kill everyone around us that doesn't join our WarTribe!

Fine i'll restart in SW.

-150, -101

Damn was hoping to have you within 20 squares hehe. I'll have to protect myself this game.

I need to be promoted to member on this server to post topics. Does anyone know if being a Travian Team member gets you free gold?

Romans got a few upgrades this server
Tuetons got downgraded from 33% plunder bonus to 20%

I'll pass this round =). Test the game out and see how you like it. If the game is to your liking, we'll make a plan to start on another server and prebuild our clan/guild with 60+ account with co-players all sorted out. Right now, I'm currently busy with a little bit of WoW but mostly taking care of my son and working on the CF website. Yeah it's going slow but I can tell you it's at least going hehe.

You know it hehe.

gluttons for punishment...

Sorry, Tim. No excuses. Go make your account now.
