It's a great little nation building browser game. I recently took over as my alliance's leader, so I'm really getting into the crazy nitty-gritty of this game. It's slow paced at the beginning, and slightly hard, but after a while your village gets bigger and stronger and then, well ... that's when the fun starts www.travian.us/I'm on server 1, in the north-east section. If anyone is interested in playing the game, definately check it out. It's not for everyone though. Expect to only be able to do a couple things a day at first (because you have resources), and then you'll have to log into your account every 6-8 hours to build something new, since you'll have the resources by then. It took me about 1-2 weeks before I had a village that let me do stuff more often during the course of the day. Now, I'm at the point where I check in almost every hour, when I can. It's addicting... but like I said, not for everyone. My name is Moongaze (shook!) Look me up.

I played Travian for about 2 years - and: Yes, it's addicting. However, I played on the german servers ... Pitty, they won't allow me to join an US-Server - though I could circumvent that.

That's fine. But if there ever comes a time where my alliance and I go to war, the enemy will probably target my two largest towns ... and one of their names is Moonglade =) Sooo ... if people send troops and they don't pay attention, you're screwed =) No worries though. There's lots of villages with the same name. Just need to be careful when sending troops and resources around. If you type in "Moonglade" ... make sure the owner of the village is the one you want

Moonvale Moonglade Moongate Moonshine ... I will be donating my Moonshine village to another player as a diplomatic act so I don't get wiped from the game, so it's renamed to something else. I have a, um ... common theme I guess. I'll probably be renaming a lot of my villages in the future, once I get some things settled the way I want There's WOW name, LOTR names, Kingdom Hearts names, and more in Travian. It wouldn't surprise me if someone is using famous city names as well. Nothing's sacred here! ... I think there's a "Cake Town" too ...

Aaaaand now I'm addicted, thanks. It's like a really, REALLY slow version of StarCraft/WarCraft, and I'm already planning for the future. Server 1, NE section. My name is Virtual over there, my town is (currently) Virtuality.

Wait till your village screen looks like this. Making this many resources and hour makes it hard to stay away from the game. I'm constantly checking if things are done being built, what I can build next, who to attack next, and more... Building the level 12 iron mine used something like 28000 wood, 22000 clay, 9000 icon, and 17000 wheat. The level 13 stuff is almost double that ... *sigh*

They started a US speed server today. I jumped on that server, north-west area. It's only been an hour and my population is over 30. Haha.
Anyway, if anyone wants to join that server too, go for it. If you're in the north-west, there's a chance we'll be very near each other, since this is 100% "fresh" server stuff.
Woo!
... now I have to manage two accounts ... that's gonna be rough.

So I got bored…
…so I made an account on the other two normal servers.
US Servers 1-3, name Virtual on each, town Virtuality on each as well.
I almost have a Barracks on my first town…tomorrow I'll be able to put it up and start making some troops, although I'm going to need more wheat field upgrades to support them all…
