Travian 4 - Adventures



There are several things a hero is able to find when encountering an adventure:
  • Nothing (except damage and experience)
  • Armour/Weapon (any level of quality possible)
  • Equipment
  • Silver
  • Resources
  • Scattered troops
A list of what you will get in your first 10 adventures:
  • 1x nothing but experience
  • 1x Horse
  • 2x resources
  • 2x silver
  • 1x Troops (basic unit of own tribe, 3 units to be exact)
  • 1x a number of cages
  • 1x a book of wisdom
  • 1x a number of ointments
At activation you get 3 adventures.
In addition you get:
  • day 1 - 3: 3 adventures each day
  • day 4 - 7: 2 adventures each day
  • day 8 - 21: 1.2 adventures each day
  • day 22 - end of server: 0.6 adventures each day
As a 3x speed server is running 3 times as fast you would receive the adventures 3x faster as on a 1x speed server.

    Travian 4 - Catching animals


    How to catch animals in Travian 4 and what animals to catch. I recommend that you catch animals in the 50% crop oasis with rats, snakes, crocodiles and tigers, and explains why. Make sure you get the most defence out of each cage you got. If you think there is a better oasis to catch from in the beginning of a server, please comment on the video. Here is the overview of all the animals defence values:

    Travian 4 - IGM


    When you send someone an IGM (in game message), don't use empty threats, be polite, write understandable (Google translate helps) and don't make your message look like it was written by a 13 year old kid (even if you actually are 13).

    A lot of good travian players are grown ups and don't always look so strong (high population etc.) in the first weeks. You don't know who's at the other end when you write a message. Giving them a reason to go after you is just stupid.

    Don't be a farm (Part 1/3)



    It has been a while since my last video, but part 1 of my guide on how to avoid being a farm in Travian is finally done. It takes quite some time to make these videos, it's a lot of information and I want to make sure I don't miss anything. Also I have to find the best way to present it all. But hopefully I will have part 2 ready soon. As always I'd like to know if you got any question or suggestions.

    Multiple catapult attacks at the same second



    This is how send multiple catapult attacks to land at the same second.

    Tips: You can send multiple reinforcement waves to your own villages to practice.

    Also, shut down all other internet aps on your computer - including Skype, ITunes etc.


    How many catapults do I need to destroy a building?

    Population size of the attacker and defender is critical, so this should only be used a guide. There is a big player vs. small player disadvantage in the catapult equation. Your catapults are much more inefficient when attacking small players.

    Question:
    As far as I know the catapults of romans, gauls and teuton are not equally strong. Is that correct?

    Romans = 75 AP
    Gauls = 70 AP
    Teutons = 50 AP

    Cats vs buildings and Cats vs defenders are two different equations.

    The cat equation for attacking buildings does not change from tribe to tribe.

    The attack points (Romans 75, Gauls 70 and Teuts 50) are used in the equation to determine attack points against defenders, not buildings.

    Question:
    what about the stonemansion?

    Level 10 stonemason doubles the number of cats needed.
    Level 20 stonemason tripples the number of cats needed.

    Travian 4 graphics



    A first look at the Travian 4 graphics. I'm not sure how much Travian 4 content I will put up. It depends a lot on how many players that move from 3.6 to 4. But for now I'm mostly gonna stick to Travian 3.6.

    TravianStrategy Introduction



    The introduction video for my new youtube channel. As I'm sure you will notice, english is not my first language, so just go ahead and make fun of my pronunciation if you want to. I know it's not the most fun video to watch, but this is just an introduction.
