Make sure you sign up for server 6. Southwest Region, I believe.

FTR has played a game like this before, and we pwned everyone. Let's do it again!

[kingnat]

We can ill afford another Tribal Wars.

[kingnat]

actually fuck it... i'll kill a week playing this till it consumes my life.. then i'll quit.

I screwed up the first sign in so.. my info is:

kingnit
-99, -7

[ProZachNation]

I am playing tribal wars and a tribe 10 time as big as the one I am in declared war on us last night so I may be looking for a new browser game.

[meeloche]

-92 -34 my village is my sn. So What do we do now?

[ProZachNation]

I am at (-96|-12)

[kingnat]

-92 -34 my village is my sn. So What do we do now?

Upgrade resources... don't push to upgrade one of them REALLY high, it'll fuck you up... just do each one, one step at a time. You have n00b protection for 3 days. Don't mess with other buildings at all for at least 2 days.

[meeloche]

so don't build buildings?

[ProZachNation]

build resources equally at start for 2 days, then you can work on building some soldiers while still building resources.

Getting high resources fast is key.

[kingnat]

I also did the Travian PLUS (since there is a free 7 day trial).. so I bought the plus and the 25% resources for all 4 things... i figure the best time to boost the growth is at the beginning.

[frosst]

lol mmorpgaments

It's not free, is it? I thought it cost you Travian gold.

they give you 35g at start.

[ensign_lee]

-39, -84 for my village.

Well yeah, they give you 35g to start, but after that, you can't get anymore without recruiting people or paying money, right?

And the resource bonuses are 5 gold each; I don't think they come included on the Travian plus package.

[bode]

no fucking way im starting something like this again. tw took up way too much time.

[kingnat]

i had to wait a shitload of time to build for some weird reason... now everybody around me is blowing me away. I think I will be fodder soon. Oh well, stay the course.

[Lukie]

haha, i remember how this went last time.

me and sapphire (calaban) were sick. as was the entire ftr clan.

[swiggidy]

no fucking way im starting something like this again. tw took up way too much time.

QFT, this is so -eV

[ensign_lee]

do it...you know you want to.

[meeloche]

wtf I am getting attacked? What do I do now?

[ensign_lee]

lol; are you a farm? What's your population?

And to answer your question, we need to know what race you are.

[ensign_lee]

Also, for the rest of y'all:

how's the raiding going? I finally got troops today and I think I have farms all around me. MUHAHAHA.

Too bad I'm not teuton...:P~~~

[bigred]

haha, i remember how this went last time.

me and sapphire (calaban) were sick. as was the entire ftr clan.

I remember the world war we created. It looked like it was going to be a very close war with many losses on both sides and then we raped everyone.

[ensign_lee]

So how's everyone else doing at this game? Are you farms or are you farmers?

[meeloche]

I've been offered an alliance already
we should start our own no?
I got some legionaires and some buildings and shit. Let me know what you guys want me to do

[ensign_lee]

Do what's best for your situation, but, as I had envisioned, it, A GRAND FTR ALLIANCE woulda been awesome.

I'm gaul, and just now got my infrastructure to the point where I can get some TT's - Gaul's best raiding cavalry.

Zook - did you just move in next to me? WHY? lol. If you don't confirm that's you either her or on travian, I'm going to raid the SHIT out of you, because I need SOOO many resources to research TT's. I've been raiding with MFing phalanxes for goodness sake.

[meeloche]

start a ftr alliance then ill join for sure

[bikes]

Tet with no troops =(. getting raided =(

[ProZachNation]

I say join some random alliance and build up then we will form our own, lets not waste our own resources early to make a high embassy

[bigred]

why don't we all just play wow and stop jerking off?

(ps I will never play wow)

[ensign_lee]

Who the hell are the people with current populations of 71, and 69, and 55? Post your username plz. lol

And yeah, I haven't made an embassy yet. For now, yeah, feel free to join an alliance if by leaving it later, you won't crate repurcussions for yourself.

[ensign_lee]

Tet with no troops =(. getting raided =(

Yeah. Tet's are basically built for raiding. Try again? And use that teuton guide in the forums!

[jackvance]

I should totally join up, last time it turned out so well

he...

[ensign_lee]

Just got my squadron of TT's and took out 20 macemen from an active player's village. Heck yeah!!!

Now my cleanup crew of 30 phalanxes is going to pillage his town of his bazillion excess iron.

And to think, I gave him a way out by simply paying tribute... :P~~~

[ProZachNation]

Send a message to Molecule to join my tribe, I am the War Commander (lol) of the tribe.

Or I am up for joining another persons tribe too if theres is better.

[kingnat]

Holy shit!... what are your resources like right now?.. I've been still working on getting those up. Post a breakdown of your town will ya? Just so I know where I'm at....

I'm currently collecting
48 wood
55 clay
44 iron
28 wheat (upgrading wheat right now)
I have lvl 1 wall, 9 legionaires, a cranny and embassy...
Should I start barreling troops out, build buildings to get the scouts and upgrade troops, or what???

[ensign_lee]

lol. My ORGANIC resource production?

45/45/25/-6

haha. I've been raiding the hell out of people.

Troops are always good. Find inactives, raid them, then when those run out - find weak actives, and raid them. lol.

But I'm still new to this game.

I've been going super military - still don't have an embassy yet because all my resources keep going to producing troops.

[ensign_lee]

Also, if you have 9 legionnaires, find some inactive and pummel the CRAP out of them!

[kingnat]

Update:
60 wood
55 clay
60 iron
105/111 wheat used

Main building 5
Embassy 1
Academy 3
Barracks 3
Blacksmith 2

12 legionnarres (essentially on the raid 24/7)

I'm trying to make a run for some horses... maybe I'm pushing that a bit early. I don't have any REALLY good farms as of right now. You guys?

[ensign_lee]

I've made several of my neighbors into farms.

I think I have about 5 of so pop 50+ farms that I just go and pop from time to time.

I keep having to further and further out of my 7x7, though, but it's ok. TT"s are blazing fast in this game.

Current standing army:
25 Theutates Thunder
1 Theutates Thunder Hero
28 PHalanx

I'm upgrading and trying to get catapults so that I can be of more use to an alliance later, or so that I can pummel the crap out of these little bitches near me that are crannying.

[ensign_lee]

Also, kingnat: from what I've heard, Roman cavalry sucks balls. It's their infantry that's supposed to be their main attack force?

[kingnat]

How the hell do I get a Hero?... I would like the scouts at least to help me scope out shit.

I'm trying to talk to one of the other big dudes in my 7x7 about getting in an alliance together.... I'll see how that works... Should I just send my 12 legionnares at some 50 size city and pray that it works?

[ensign_lee]

lolol. depends on who that 50 pop is. If it's teuton, hell yeah, go for it.

Actually, until you get in wars with other ppl, a hero really doesn't help much, if at all. And it takes awhile to get the infrastructure to build a hero's mansion.

And if you want to see how many troops and resource ppl have, you'll need scouts; it also will help you more efficiently allocate your raiding parties when your army gets bigger.

uh...wtf? How did you get your account removed?

[zxqv8]

I saw you mention Tribalwars Kingnat.

I was part of the group that absolutely crushed that game. You know, TW.

[ProZachNation]

Im using maces to raid. I got fucked over sent my big 40 man mace team and the Abandoned Valley i hit repoped and I lost like half my maces.

I got some paladins(good defense not great raiders) and a decent team of macers up now

[ensign_lee]

Sonofabitch. I just attacked some 50 pop Gaul and he took out 16 of my TT's. WTF?!

and by then I'd already sent my second squadron of 13 TT's and a TT hero there. I hope my second wave is able to finish the job, or at least not die.

Cost ineffective raids FTL!!!

[kingnat]

"http://travian.ws/analyser.pl?s=us6&uid=8831"

uh...wtf? How did you get your account removed?

Idk... i started over with "kingnit" i think i posted that above somewhere. Nice website.

[ensign_lee]

oh yeah. It's very useful for trying to scout inactives.

[meeloche]

ok so i'm getting dominated. sucks to only play at night i keep getting raided during the day so I don't have enough resources to bluild troops at night. fuck

[ensign_lee]

lol; you only play at night? I think you and I should combine accounts, because I'm tired of not getting to sleep because I need to wake up to do raids.

When do you play? (terms in US Central Time Zone plz) By the way, I'm completely serious.

[kingnat]

yo tengo el STABLE!!!!... ARGGHH... fucking have to research scouts.. what a pain in the fucking ass....

I want to build like 2 scouts (i don't think anyone else in my area has them), a solid defense, and slightly upgrade my raiding force. I think i need to really ramp up the resources production as well. I can't seem to build jack squat and don't have any really good farms... there are two towns nearby that just lost their alliance affiliation. I would like to scout and farm them today. (one is 58, other is 69)...

What the fuck are "traps" that the Gauls use and should I worry about them?

[bigred]

lol nerdaments

They trap your troops and you have to attack again to release the troops trapped, it sucks.

[ensign_lee]

MFer...I should woken up just a little bit earlier.

Last night, or rather, this morning, an attack party of 100 macemen and amaceman hero came and took out my troops. Casulaties:

39 TT's (these hurt the must and really could have been avoided if I'd just woken up)
1 TT hero
5 druids
4 scouts
28 Phalanx

[kingnat]

m'k...

I have scouts...
About 30 legionnaires
Wood 75
Clay 75
Iron 75
Wheat 45

I have a great farm.. that I just hammered for about 2k resources.. though i'm not sure how fast he'll replenish.

I'm going to build more and more troops... screw the other stuff.. i need troops.

[ProZachNation]

I am getting farmed by two or three people cant get any troops up unless one of you has some defenses so I can build em and reinforce you(win win hey)

Got ym cranny up and working on resources and cranny so they lose interest in me.

Who's farming you?.. i'm building an army.. not sure what constitutes a REAL badass fighting force at this point... lemme know the size of their attack squads.

http://s6.travian.us/spieler.php?uid=10234 this guy we can kill him

And this guy http://s6.travian.us/spieler.php?uid=8083 he is in like 2nd biggest tribe so probably not mess with him

[kingnat]

lemme know the size of their attack squads.

[kingnat]

Holy shit that guy is like a day's hike away....

[ProZachNation]

lemme know the size of their attack squads.

He doesn't attack with everything, I dunno he hits me with ten raiders usually.

[kingnat]

well i have about 40 legionarres...

If you have a wall and such.. I could try to send a clump of them... can you do a combat sim to see how many i would need to send to kill his average attack squad?

[ensign_lee]

If you want somewhere for your troops to campout, my place is open. Starfleet Command.

I should be in ? alliance by the end of the day. Nobody should touch you.

That guy is about my size. I would take heavy, heavy casualties if I tried to take him out.

[ensign_lee]

Why didn't y'all warn me that I would take this game would take a heavy, HEAVY toll on my life!?!?!

Pffft, to be good at this game takes too much time. I quit.

[swiggidy]

I'm pretty sure we did

[ProZachNation]

I play tribal wars which is pretty much same game, right now I got 25 villages.. lol time SINK but it is fun completyel wiping out a guys villages so he cant play anymroe since the world is closed to people joininj.
