I was just thinking that I would probably fuck up the rp a little at first, once it's back up, since I'm out of practice putting on this char's role.by alansmithee - Main Board
Just offering more advice. And he says he uses a translation program so he hopes he can be understood. He suggested trying gauls next time, evidently they move faster? Wasn't sure I understood him right. Anyway, I'm going out for friday evening cocktails, see y'all later.by alansmithee - Travian
But am still low on resources and am just not that patient to let them all build up again over the weekend. :Pby alansmithee - Travian
Need to rebuild some clubbies and start farming again after my devastating loss! I'm at 135/27. Thanks in advance to any who can.by alansmithee - Travian
So I emailed the guy who attacked me once and who I charmed with my "help me, I'm a newbie!" message. Turns out he's german. Said he couldn't answer questions in english. I urged him to try anyway. So, he did. Here are the questions I asked (I just wanted to prove I was a newbie): 1 - I see you're about 73 in pop, which buildings did you get to and what levelsby alansmithee - Travian
He raided me once. I sent him a note that said: "Hey, impressive job. That's a lot of clubswingers! So I'm a bit new here, do you mind if I ask you some questions on how things work here, you obviously seem to know the game pretty well. Thank!" He responded that his english isn't so good, but sounded very friendly. I think I got him with the "oooh, I'm aby alansmithee - Travian
I build my academy last night with loot from farming. Hoping to build a spear man or two to defend after all my raiding. But it turns out it's really fucking expensive to even learn to build the spearman, so I couldn't do it. Oh well. I need to build some clubbies to do more raiding though. Hopefully by tonight or tomorrow....by alansmithee - Travian
He's at 128/25. Dude is pop 73 and he sent 25 bonebreakers at me. Killed all six of my clubbies! Bastard. Any advice?by alansmithee - Travian

What exactly do they do? The little blurb in game isn't helpful. Do they allow you to have more than the 800 if you max? What purpose do they serve, and when do they actually come in to play, meaning when will I actually get a benefit from building them? Thanks.by alansmithee - Travian

Server 4 is dead. If it's a total wipe and we need to start again I'll be very annoyed.by alansmithee - Travian
I'm sure I'll be crying when someone does it to me, but..... this time I sent 3 and here's the message I got just now: Subject: The Kuo-Toa Lair attacks jnpuff`s village sent: on 06/05/08 at 08:31:22 pm Attacker Graatch from the village The Kuo-Toa Lair Troops 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Casualties 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bounty 48 42 51 39 Defender jnpuffby alansmithee - Travian
Why would you ever "attack" instead of "raid" if you aren't planning on conquering? Or is it to kill what they might have so they can't attack you back, assuming they have defenders that is.by alansmithee - Travian
I know there was some discussion about this below, but I don't think this was answered. If it was, I apologize for not finding it. Here you go: If the other village has no defenders at all, and thus there is no actual battle, is there any difference between a raid and an attack? Your men bring back resources from an attack as well as from a raid, yes? Is there any benefit to one overby alansmithee - Travian
I never actually hit that second "OK" button, so the timer was going forward because it hadn't started yet. They're on the way now. :Pby alansmithee - Travian
I'm building another clubbie now. I'll try and send the three again, if it doesn't work, any suggestions? Is there a help desk or something?by alansmithee - Travian
I got both of those, and they are done. I'm trying to send troops and I'm getting some weird "will send in X" time but the timer goes forward, not counting down. Any idea what's up?by alansmithee - Travian
Is there a lag between attack times? I am trying to send them again but it doesn't look like they're going, I got some weird timer that's not the same as the attack one I got the first time.by alansmithee - Travian
Thanks. I'm sending them back now. And, by the way, both my clubswingers came back, I didn't lose one. Sweet.by alansmithee - Travian
So I finally built a second clubswinger (thanks, Habbs, I might have sent just one if you'd not posted about that) and sent them against one of the nearest villages, one that I'd noticed hadn't been increasing much. It's called jnpuff's village. And it was a success (I think). I'm assuming the "reinforcements' notice is really just my own surviving clubsby alansmithee - Travian

I can play it from work. Do something, work for a couple hours, go back, spend five minutes thinking about what to upgrade, do it, then back to work while resources rebuild, lather, rinse, repeat. I'm sure when we are further along and things move more quickly it will be less amenable to workday play, but for now, it's perfect. Here is where I am now, at a little before 1am ESTby alansmithee - Travian
Mine doesn't. That would be helpful. Or did you just type them in for purposes of posting here?by alansmithee - Travian
