If you have 100+ farms then you must keep some method right? Excel sheet, I'm up to around 130 farms. I include name, pop, and xy coords. I go straight to the rally point and type in coords. The guys with large populations I raid up to 5 times a day. I'll raid the 2 pop villages once or twice a day. I check the raid reports, so based on how much I get I know about how many units to send each time. | ||

Even if you save up for those 13 Phalanx (with lvl 2-3 fields say) you will still be way more effective than with fields. Also you do not upgrade any fields but crops really. Any money spent on fields is money you don't spend on the more effective raiding. Units: Romans E.Imps only Teutons: Swingerclub only Gauls: TT only. You don't need defenses if you're active. (Even though Teutons defenders are still great raiders  )2nd village: Only if you want to have it comfortable with the crap uh crop. You don't need a 2nd or 3rd village really. Put this money in your army and just conquer the main village of some poor sod that did not build palace but residence. Chieftains are very expensive but the profit you make is mad. i am sorry dude, but you are clueless... stop posting advice you can only conqure someone's village when they have more than 4. let me tell you that right now there is NO ONE with more than 4 villages... that means, YOU CAN'T FUCKING CONQUER ANYONE'S FUCKING MAIN VILLAGE.... ok??? and by the time ppl get to their 5th village... their 2nd 3rd village should be as big as their main one so it makes no difference which one to take!! also, at this stage, YOU CAN'T FREAKING AFFORD a chief or senator or whatever.. and even if you saved up like a mofo you won't be able to take any villages!!! god!!! i just wish people who have no idea what they are talking about to stop posting advice to other ppl.. you are ruining other people's bulids, please stop! | ||

If we listened to monsen, we'd all be at 0000-0000-0000-000000 fields and have 983756682 clubbies. Well, thats impossible cuz they won't let you build armies if your crops are not upgraded, but you get my point. I guess he has a ton of inactives near him with no competition for the farming. How else would his zillions of raiders acheive maximum carry each time as his SIMPLE math example would lead us to believe. And I think it is generally accepted fact that you should build a residence at your main village. People mention the defense bonus for your second and more vulnerable village. But I think the main consideration is that the palace upgrades are a lot more expensive to the point where it would take another day or 2 to reach lvl 10. | ||

Ok, fine... let's look at what will allow us to do that 1. the guy has no defence, no allies that can help him while we head to him since we are aiming for the main village (as advised by mosen), we will have to destory their lvl 10 residence.. now may i ask you, how many catapults do we have??? NONE!!! OK, suppose now god himself gave us free catapults... and we send them towards his base to destory his residence. With catapults' 3 speed, it will take a while to get there, and assume his allies still ignore him, and he is stupid enough to send all of his defenders out thinking that this is just a raid (you tell me which top player does at this stage in the game)... so we take down his residence, and somehow saved up enough money to get chief/senator.. we took the village... THEN WHAT??? LET ME TELL YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN --> WE GET FUCKING DESTORYED BY THEIR BIG ALLIANCE... HAPPY??? jesus please stop giving stupid advices... right now we are not strong enough to take on any top 100 alliance... just put the stupid conquering ideas behind ok? | ||

BG1, please ignore mosen, and follow the guide posted on the front page. That is the most efficient build for starters right now.. just ignore mosen.. and FOLLOW THE FUCKING FRONT PAGE | ||

"LET ME TELL YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN --> WE GET FUCKING DESTORYED BY THEIR BIG ALLIANCE... HAPPY???" you forgot that monsen said that we need zero defense. So basically, according to monsen we need zero defense and 0000-0000-0000-0000000 fields. | ||

(would be bullshit ofc but nevertheless ) You never really build up you own fields as you will conquer fully upgraded villages from the sim city players.Fields <-> raiding in the end just comes down to efficiency <-> comfort. You have to spend no effort on fields, but they are less effective. Even with perfect scripts and excel tabels you can only manage to raid so much while being online 24/7 so there will be a time for fields and you decide when that is (depends on the effort you want to invest). But by then you will come to realize that Travian isn't such a good game as it seems. Gl hf | ||
