Newbie Tipps

I've been playing Travian for almost 1 year and I'm still motivated to start a new game on a new server.
I Thought I lighten the beginners among you started and give some tips.
First, a few words on the properties of the three nations. Each of them has advantages and disadvantages.


The Germanes

The Germans are a very offensive people. They have great attack power but are slow and have a bad defense. Since Germans

living from other players virtually rob,
they also have an advantage there, they looting more in a successful attack .
Germanic units are produced much faster and can carry more resources.

Evaluation: Hard


The Gauls

As the Gauls are more  peaceful people, their attack value is very low. But their defense is significant higher than from the other Races. They have a strong Defens and a high speed. Since the defense is so high, this people is perfect for beginners. Then there's the more bonuses, like cheap Settler and twice as large stash. But as always, there are also some negative, as war machines are very expensive. The dealer can  carry 750 resources and move very quickly with 24 fields per hour.

Evaluation: Easy



The Romans

The Romans are pretty good for beginners, they allow to simultaneously build a source of raw materials and a building in the city. In the battle, the Romans are a balanced unit that can have both attack and defense enough. The infantry is really very strong in this nation, the only cavalry are still in the middle. A large defense bonus also brings the strong city wall. The dealer, however, have the weakness that they can only carry 500 resources and at a rate of 16 fields per hour are also mediocre.


Evaluation: Medium
