~ Introduction
Each building in Travian has it's own unique ID. You can quickly switch through villages and buildings using these two techniques.
~ What does 'GID' mean?
Travian was programmed in German, so we would have to look for the German translation:
The g stands for Gebäude, which means Building.
The id is used in the web developing world to identify things (in thise case, a certain building)
~ The building GIDs
First, a list of all available building GIDs, updated with T3.5 (horse drinking trough)

~ Using the GIDs
You can use building GIDs to quickly access a certain building in any village, regardless where the building is (so if it's on building spot 24 in one village and on 28 in an other village, that doesn't matter: It links to that building).
Example:
When creating plus links you can use this to access your barracks quickly in the current village you are in:

~ Explaining the URL:
http://speed.travian.co.uk/
The url of the server.
build.php
The url of the page.
gid=19
The data (gid).
~ Difference between 'ID' and 'GID'
build.php is used to show a building. Normally you would give a normal id, which links to a building spot. In this case, you link to a building using gid. Your links should look like this:
http://i28.tinypic.com/23ly3nm.png
As you see above the grey line: Barracks is the currently highlighted option.
This links to: build.php?gid=19
19 is the gid of barracks.
