Who were you on old S2? And it's rather easy for you to say that after S2 and S3, that there's no more excitement for S4 onwards. S4 was still the first server for a number of us. | ||

I was around for Syndicate, but weve already built up a lot of momentum by the time Genesis formed, so I let someone else handle my account. I tried a new account on s6 and new s1, but ten months in s2 was enough; I just didnt have the time or devotion to continue anymore. | ||

If you guys are looking for some Travian-style fun, go to mediwar.com or kingsofchaos.com (they're basically the same thing, but I like medi's simplicity). Basically you have four races, Humans, Orcs, Elves, and Dwarves, and you form alliances with players and you buy weapons, armor, and spies to raise your rankings (strike action, defensive action, covert action) and the person with the highest ratings wins the round. The round only lasts for a month, much unlike Travian. Note: I don't play Medi or KoC anymore, if anybody's wondering. I'll gladly give hints, though. | ||

T3 is damn lame, they made so many changes to Trav that it seems even more dumbed down than before. Heroes help out noobs a lot since for their cost, they are 10x stronger than the regular unit equivalent. I'll let ascelon tell you more about heroes. He's passionately against them. Wow. When I left Travian back then I was kinda hoping T3 would be a change for the better. I did not realize Travians creators were that retarded. "Let's strengthen defense a bit!" Great idea... It's one thing to help new/less dedicated players survive and another to make coordinated attacking so god damn difficult compared to defending. Bah. | ||

 Oh well. Top 80 or so offensive with less than 300 clubs the whole time was fun ^_^; | ||

Since ascelon hasn't been reading this thread, I guess I'll speak for him. When he was playing on S3, the Travian 3 speed server, he got utterly pissed when newbies would defend with a hero only and ascelon would end up losing 10 clubs. ascelon ended up posting in his profile that any farms that defended with hero only would get cata'ed. ^^; | ||

Basically a hero is worth 20+ units, and cost the saem as one. This may not seem like much when everyone has ks of troops, but in the early goings farming is considerably tougher, especially when you are trying to farm a lot of these noobs who log on one time a day and builds a hero. For other T3 tweaks, there was the reduction in the supremacy exponent so that a superior army would lose a greater percentage of guys. I suppose this makes suicide attacks easier but small to medium defenses tougher. From my experience, there is no way the "mass defense > offense" can be solved without allowing for pooling of offensive armies, at least by one single player from all of his villages. | ||

If there is one thing in travian that impressed me, it is the noobness of a vast majority of players. edit: happy birthday haji | ||

Yeah, all the noobs in the (meta)alliance made being a leader a pain in the ass. You'd think that someone who plays 1-2h hours every day, would understand the few strategic concepts of the game... | ||
