Travian

So, do any of you guys play Travian? This place used to have a Travian area, was wondering who still plays.

If not, the address is www.travian.co.uk.

Gawd, Travian, Got totally engrossed in it & it ruled my life at one bit. Fortunately for me I managed to break my addiction & resume a normal life!

We used to have a Travian Forum, and an FF Travian Alliance. It was great fun for a while.

That's why I don't really play it any more, it can become an obsession!

You need someone to be watching it while you're offline. You can appoint 2 sitters', they must be other players on that server.

They must play that server, you can add their account names to the sitter option in account preferences, they can then login to your account with their password.

You can also play as a dual, you and a friend both run the account, but neither can have another account on that server.

Yeah I have crannied up now. I have got 2 level 10 crannies and one level 5 (soon to be 10).

I havent really got the army to take on the bigger villages yet (only 150 pop) but I am getting there.

I still get raided now and again but I make sure I spend my resources before they go over the cranny levels. Plus I normally go on a fiar bit at work so I avoid giving resources away.

Its a good game, really addictive.

P.S. Which one do you play? Mine is world 2 - my village is Atlantis.
