Introduction
Hi, Guys! I got bored so I thought I would make this guide.
It is basically UKx but can probably be used on any server.
Results may Vary
This is not perfect, because I tested it on my current UKx account on my new village, but if you are using this for your first village it works well, if not better.
This guide has certain advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages
Faster building for the start of game
Higher population quickly
Easy troop training
Disadvantages
I couldn't use plus, starting players can
May not work smoothly if being raided
Guide
Constructing and Expanding
If your a totally new player, you may want to pay all your attention to this section, as it is vital and it is the building blocks for Travian.
You may be wondering what those white circles are on the Blue, Orange/Red, Green, and Yellow bits are, but don't get ahead of yourself!
First, you need to learn things even more Basic. You may have noticed that there are Mountains, Clay Mines, Woodland, and Wheat Fields. Just to clear that up:
Blue = Iron
Orange = Clay
Green = Wood
Yellow = Wheat
Now what are these for, you ask? They are your production. This gives you resources you need to build things. Just how much of these resources you have is at the top, and on the Village overview, it show how quickly you gain these on the left.
OK, Go on. Click on one, you are ready...
Whoa! You were directed to a new page. To level this up and increase your speed of reduction for this resource, click on the Green Highlighted 'Upgrade to 1'.
Always keep in mind, Wheat decreases when you build almost anything apart from the Wheat fields themselves. Building these up, just like other resources, increases your speed of production. You may want to keep these fields high levels because they are the only thing that can go into minus! This will kill any troops in your village.
You can upgrade fields to level 10, and in your capital village, up to level 20.
Starting up
Now that your ready to start playing properly and you have some idea about what you are doing, you can do quests and start you Travian career!
First, select look around on your own from Quest master. Build up all wheat fields to level 1.
Then go to first quest, and follow quests until you have to upgrade 1 more of each field to 2. Do this for Iron, Clay, and Wood. If you need to do 1 or 2 wheat's.
Improvement
Build a Rally point and a Main building level 3. Use gold if you want for quick-complete. For faster building get it to level 7. I recommend this.
Build a Barracks. Do not build troops yet! Sorry, but you should increase your population first. Build a Granary and a Warehouse. Then build a Marketplace.
Now search your area. Be wary of Teutons in your area. If you see a few of them growing fast, build a cranny. You will need one soon anyway.
Quests
Start completing more quests. They should all be cheap and easy now.
Do not do Quest 22.
If you do all the above steps, you can start building troops before the end of your beginners protection. Never raid with less than 2 and only on players with under 9 population. To do this, click on there village and check there population. If they do have less than 9 population, they are fine. Click attack at the bottom of the screen. Now select your troops and how many you want to send. Keep them away from your village 24/7. If a Teuton attacks you they will probably die, so don't keep them home. Ever. To do this find a player with under 9 population that is far away from you. You can see this by the amount of time it takes your troops to attack them. Estimate the amount of time you will be away from Travian, and send them on an attack half of this time. This is because they will take the same amount of time to return to your village as they did to attack. Hopefully they will have some resources with them when they come back from the village you raided. Remember, you only get resources on a raid, and not an attack. Attacks kill more enemy troops but could result in yours being hurt more.
Completion
Once you have made a profit in resources from your troops, complete Quest 22.
Allies
Now your on your own in the world, so you may want an Embassy to join an alliance. If you have friends on Travian, I recommend you make an alliance with them, but if you don't you may want to join a good alliance with players about your population. If you do create an alliance, you will need and Embassy level 3, and you should keep upgrading it through the course of the game. Each level makes space of 3 more players, with a total of 60 (level 20).
Expansion
Well, now you have gotten started, it's up to your to make your own choices, but I would recommend settling in a new village near your first or in your alliance stronghold, and get one with 9 wheat fields or 15 wheat fields to construct your very own massive army.
And that's the end for my guide,
Hope you do well in the world of Travian,
