A question on how the smithy/forge works:

My current alliance leader is recommending we upgrade our smithy/forge as it decreases the wheat consumption of troops. I am 99% sure this is not the case, could you guys let me know?

Many thanks,

Construction Plan Spawn Coordinates

Dear players,

Recently we received lots of questions about construction plans spawn. Today we give you some information considering the construction plan locations in the game worlds, so you can tune your strategies and prepare for endgame in advance!

Some players may already be familiar with the fact that construction plan spawn locations are not as random as they might seem. In fact, after playing several rounds, it becomes quite apparent that the locations are more or less static.

The construction plans are spawned somewhere in the close vicinity of those coordinates:

Map section Coordinates
North West (-18|30) (-35|4) (-45|37)
South West (-26|-25) (-10|-57) (-55| -20)
North East (33|12) (12|33) (10|56) (55|20)
South East (30|-20) (4|-35) (44|-37)

It might be a good strategy to take some actions and build your strategy to secure those locations.
Looking forward to even greater battles during the midgame!

Regards,

Travian: Legends team

Summer start quizz: Do you know the history of Travian tribes?




Dear players!


Do you know, that austronomical summer in Europe starts today, 21st of June, and ends on the 21st of September? Many historical events happened during this season. We'll give you hints to 5 famous facts in Travian tribes history, and offer you to put them in the correct order on a timeline.


Here are 5 facts:


1) When the Emperor heard about this event, he was so shaken that he stood butting his head against the walls of his palace, repeatedly shouting: "Give me back my legions!"


2) This day the most devastating event happened in Rome, and many historians of that time suspected, that it was the Emperor, who started it in order to rebuild the city by his taste.


3) This decisive naval battle between the forces of Julius Caesar’s ex-supporter and his adopted son marked the transition of Rome from Republic to Empire.


4) The probable date of the most catastrophic natural event in European history, which caused several Roman settlements to be completely destroyed in one day


5) This battle is often considered to be the greatest victory of Julius Caesar during the Civil War. This date the Caesar’s legions defeated at least twice outnumbering army of Pompey the Great, making the latter flee to Egypt where he was assassinated.


Name those events and put them in a chronological order.

First player who’ll give the correct answer will get 50 gold. Also 3 randomly chosen players will get 30 gold each!

Note: The answers in the thread are not visible. The winners will be announced on the 26th of June!

Forum: Major changes to the T:L Forums

Dear community,

the time has come to move to a new forum platform.

Why are we doing this?

The necessity of it became quite clear a while ago. You might remember what happened last September, when we had to close our forums for over a week to solve a security issue. The main reason for the change is to have stronger data protection.

Burning Board offers us more options for a secure environment, which is why we've decided to use it as company platform for all our games. Another reason is that we are restyling the entire game and this platform offers us more possibilities to make the forum get the look and feel we’d like to have for our game in addition to the new start page (yes, there will be a new start page, too).

And the last reason is that we’d like to have our communities of the different domains closer to each other. We know many of you play in different countries and we’d like to offer you the chance to have a single platform from which you can gather all the information.

We now want to give you an update on what we did in the past 2 months to prepare for this forum merger.
We evaluated different technical solution and solved some of the related issues.

One of the main issues when merging more than 40 forums together is space. Most of the forums have been available for more than 10 years now and obviously there is a lot of content to move. Therefore we have decided to move only the content of the past year, but don't worry, the rest won't be lost either.

All forum history will be stored into a read-only archive that you'll be able to access. The archive will most likely not be available immediately after the merger because we need to take care about lots of things at once, but we want to assure you that it will be accessible at some point.

So here is some technical information:
  • We will move all forum threads (including all the posts in it) of the past 365 days that had at least one reply in the past 180 days.
  • We will move all the forum accounts that were accessed at least once in the past 365 days
  • All the account names will get the country tag as a suffix in order to avoid duplicates. You will then be able to change your nickname into a new one if you like.
  • We will merge all forum accounts from different communities that have the same email (all the threads/posts will be merged), so if you have accounts on more than one Travian: Legends forum, please make sure you use the same email with them, as you won’t be allowed to use more then one account on the new forum and it won’t be possible to merge them anymore after we started the process.
  • All images attached to the posts will be saved and moved to the new forum.
  • All personal avatars will be moved.
  • All warnings and a possible temporary punishment history will be gone; it’s a fresh start, so make sure you profit from this chance.
  • There will be international forum rules that may in some details differ from the rules you are used to. Please make sure to read them.



One forum to rule them all! How does this work?

It’s pretty easy: Once the forum was merged your account will be assigned to your community inside the new forum and you will see the posts of that community. You can go to your profile and change your settings to add more languages and see the posts of more communities. If you have more languages activated when you start a new thread, you will be able to choose in which community you want to write by selecting the language/domain in a drop-down menu.
We fully realize that some of you won’t be happy with this change and that you like your current forum. We want to be honest with you, which is why we are not trying to sell you a nice epic story with a 'And they lived happily ever after'. We've analyzed the pros and cons of moving and merging the forums and we’d like to be transparent and share our findings with you.

Pros of the forum merger:
  • The security level of the forum will be improved
  • Worldwide communication – the forum merger is a step to improve our communication flow to you and also the communication flow from you to the company
  • You'll have the chance to get in touch easier with more people and learn from other countries
  • You won’t need to have one account in each forum of every community you play in anymore; you'll have only one account and everything will be at hand.
  • You'll be able to gain activity points – these points show your levels of participation and contribution to the community. You can gain activity points by starting new threads (10 points), and answering existing threads (5 points) and also receiving likes for your posts (2 points)
  • Burning Board offers a better way to sort threads in a specific section. Using the filter will help you to find what you are searching for much quicker.
  • The new forum style will match the new start page and makes for a complete new look and experience.
  • More social interaction - you'll be able to share your favorite thread with your friends on social media with just one click.
  • You'll be able to keep track of activity on threads you are interested in way easier with the 'Watched Threads' page.


Cons of the forum merger:
  • We'll need to clean up. As mentioned above, we will only move the activities of the past year to the new forum, everything else will be available by the end of the year in a read-only archive.
  • Your post count may be lower at the end of the merger, due to the fact that we are not merging the entire community's history – but on the other side you'll be able to gain activity points.
  • The tavern section won’t have a post count – we do value our community and we also like chit-chat, but we do not think this directly contributes to Travian life, therefore we decided to remove the post count and activity points in this section.
  • You'll have to learn how to use a new software and it might be difficult at the beginning and get used to the new interface – we will try to provide as much information as possible in our FAQs.
  • All custom BBcodes will no longer work, which might lead to some posts looking a bit odd
  • If you have a special user title, it might be lost after the merger, but you can always get in touch with your CM or try to gain a new one by contributing to the community.
  • There is a slight chance that your nickname is taken by another user – in this case you should get in touch with the CM of your community. who will evaluate the situation – we grant priority to the nickname to the user who contributed more in the life of the community.
  • The interface (buttons, profile interface, etc...) will be available only in the following languages at the start: AE, AU, CL, COM, DE, ES, FR, IT, NL, PL, RU, TR - if you are willing to help us translate the interface please contact the CM of your community.
  • All private messages and notes will be gone – so make sure to save those that matter to you.


We are sure by now you must have thought about 50 time: "OK, but when?"

We will start merging the forums on July 16th.

We will close all forums on this date and we are aiming to bring them back online by July 31st.

Wait, what??? Yes, we know it’s a long time and we hope everything works as planned and we can bring them back online before that date. But as you might guess, there is lots and lots of data to move and we prefer to proceed with caution.

Meanwhile, we will provide you with all the important information through the in-game info boxes and on our Travian: Legends Facebook page .

Available for dualling on UK servers

Hello everyone. I would like to dual with someone on UK servers (preferably UK4 or UK5) or US servers

About me: I have played the game for about 5 years, have been a dual on very top accounts. I am active throughout UK day time, between 8 am and 10 pm. I intend to be active that much in the next 3 months, until my uni starts. From then on I will be less active, but still able to contribute by doing repetitive stuff (raiding, training troops etc.)

I am looking for an organised acc that aspires to be high ranked offensive and population wise. However if account owner decides to swap to deff later I am OK with it. I am willing to cooperate with other duals(sitters) of the account and alliance members via skype.

So if anyone is interested for dualling apply via PM please, so we can discuss details.

Kind regards.

New Tribe Discussion Thread

Mobile users

I have a question if I may?

Are travian aware that after yesterday 'blip' that logging in via a mobile browser causes some very strange layouts to happen?

Specifically an iPhone in case that's relevant.

And, if they are (or weren't but hopefully are now) is it high on the priority list to sort out?

I cannot click any of the links from dorf2 for example but it's lots of things, not just that.

Kind regards
Handsome iPhone user

Google hit with £2.1bn EU anti-trust fine

So over the past few days I heard about a fine the EU handed to Google for supposed anti-trust. After hearing a very basic overview of why the fine was handed down, I was frustrated over what I deemed as unnecessary market intervention.

If you google 'running trainers' you are returned a list of web pages that sell running shoes. Websites get on page 1 by using white hat SEO techniques (white hat = good, black hat = dark arts magic such as clickbait. Afaik the terms come from magic tricks being black hat.) You can pay to have an ad at the top of the page, but if you want to be the first non-ad (organic reach), you have to be very good at SEO and running a website.

So when people moan that they're on page 6, my first thought is hire an SEO specialist. When they moan Amazon is on page 6 too, I would say exactly the same. Google give presedence to it's own maps, because when you search for running shoes in London, chances are - you'll look at a map next. If 80% of people searching for running shoes in London are buying from Sports Direct, why put Sports Direct on page 6?

All that said, the one thing I can't defend Google on is whether or not their algorithms actually do favourite certain retailers, regardless of how users browse them. On the surface, this is an opportunistic attack on good marketing to stem the tide of other countries looking to leave the EU. As a remainer, I'm beginning to regret my decision to vote remain.

The Economist article below also draws interesting comparisons to Microsoft's Windows fine in the 2000's. Windows automatically included Internet Explorer on every copy of Windows which apparently distorted the market. Nevertheless, IE is an abhorrent browser and people respond in kind by downloading Chrome or Firefox. I don't see a problem.

Your thoughts?

Game WvV R56

Welcome,

We have a few new players this round so I will give a brief overview of how the game is played, for a complete list of the rules plese see the below thread.

http://forum.travian.co.uk/showthread.php?t=79863

Aim of the game - Eliminate the members of the other team. The wolves begin the game knowing who the players on their team are however the villagers know who nobody but themselves are.

How to achieve this - There is a vote each night (All players should send their vote in, as well as any special roles they may have, to the host account via the forum by 9:30pm each night). The person with the most votes against them will be eliminated, a bit like big brother or the weakest link if you like. Once eliminted the players role will be revealed at the bottom of this post. That person is now no longer able to influence the game in any way. Dead players will be allowed to remain in the game chat so long as they behave themselves, what constitues behaving is at the host's discretion.

Irritating the host can result in death, again at that hosts discretion. <--- new rule for this round, I like it :)

Win Conditions;

Villagers - Must eliminate all wolves to win.

Wolves - Must outnumber the villagers. e.g. after a kill post there is 4 wolves remaining and only 3 vilagers remaining the wolves win.

The ratio of wolves to vilagers is 1:3, no i will not confirm how the splits have been allocated.

The roles:

Good Guys:

Seer: The seer can investigate one player each night to see what their role is.

Taxi: The taxi swaps the effects that would be applied to two people (This does not swap Medic however.)

Medic: The medic can protect one person from being killed by the alpha each night.

The secret society Leader: Leader of the secret society of villages, starts as the only member. A group who know all of eachother. Can recruit one mason per round. If he/she attempts to recruit a wolf, they are killed. They still play for team villager.

Hairy Villager: Normal villager, but appears as a wolf when seered.

Elite bodyguard: Can protect one person each night, all effects that would've hit the target (except lynch) hit the bodygaurd instead. If the bodygaurd takes the alpha kill then he kills the alpha too.

Peacekeeper: For one KP in the round they can prevent a lynch from happening.
and
For one KP in the round they can prevent all specials from using their special (includes alpha)
(Cannot prevent their own lynch. If killed can still use their role.)


Bad Guys:

Alpha Wolf: The alpha wolf can pick one person to kill each night. If the alpha is killed the wolves will need to promote a nnew alpha from their ranks.

Vote Blocker: Chose a player, their vote doesn't count this round. Cannot pick the same player two nights in a row.

Seer Blocker: Once per night pick a wolf. If seered, that wolf will appear as a villager.


Roles shall be distributed today.

Please send in all your votes to the host account (that's this account) before 9:30pm 02/07/17 and then the same time each night after. You can vote "no lynch" if you do not wish to kill someone but failure to send in any vote will be marked as inactive. The majority vote wins, if split exactly 50:50 then no lynch will take place.

I think i have covered the basics but if you have any questions then feel free to ask (this will not count as irritating the host)
