5 ideas we would like to get commented conversation thread

Bellatora Please stop asking for new ideas. If you want to change something, just look to the past. All ideas have already been given since 6 years ago.

Quote from Gaius#EN(12)

I've found that oasis rank is often a problem or annoyance for capital cities, particularly within your own kingdom. I'm sure many have have been in situations were a kingdom member has forced the nr 1 rank of your cropper capital oasis by settling villages/cities next to the oasis and/or parking large amount of troops in the oasis. Often for a regular village or a 6c capital with low level fields that would recieve a much lower production boost from that oasis than you would.

I would suggestion the following

Instead of oasis influence being affected by village population and the number of troops inside:

1. Oasis influence is based on the production bonus the village would recieve (i.e. total base production). That is, the village that would recieve the higher bonus from the oasis automatically gets rank 1, the second highest, rank 2 and so on.

2. Remove gaining influence and resources from stationing troops inside oasis

With this system you have 2 ways to increase in rank:
1. Increase the level of your fields untill it is higher than your opponent (you would do this with allies)
2. Catapult the other players fields so your fields are higher (this is solution for enemies)

This way, the player that would recieve the highest bonus from the oasis automatically gets it (great for kingdom) and it promotes players to upgrade their fields which is good in the long term. Additionally, we will no longer need to keep worthless troops sitting around in the oasis.

In cases were 2 players are in a tie, for instance two 15c capitals with lvl 18 fields, the one who assigned the oasis first gets the higher rank. That way the guy that was there first gets the highest rank but he still has the option to give it to the other guy if he wants by removing oasis and reassigning it again.

Good idea?

Good evening everyone,

I was going through my old folders of travian and I randomly found an excel file containing some improvements that we thought could be interesting for the future. We splitted those improvements in different types of categories (PLEASE KEEP IN MIND SOME HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED ALREADY):

1. Wonder of the World:

• WW holder belongs only to the kingdom when he conquered the WW
• You can invite people at anytime as long as they were within the kingdom borders before the WW appeared
• Limiting 1 or 2 WW per kingdom
• WW bonus is applied to daily VP production instead of when its completed.

2. Victory Points:

• Top 10 "stealing" reinstaured
• You CAN'T steal victory points, only make other kingdoms lose them

3. Player Roles:

• Instore a hierarchy within the kingdom (could be fun to engage governors to be more active to climb the kingdom ladder, such as count, or noble or stuff like this)
• Create internal managing role names such as Commander in chief, Deffender in chief, diplomat, etc..

4. Game improvements:

• Improve Rally Point (check discussion we had several times about it), keep in mind that adding some filters by marked colors and type of reinforcement would be of huge help already
• Add a feature where by marking the fields in game you give targets to given player as fake/real with a landing time.

Anyway, let me know what you think about those, some are really simple ideas yet I think most of them could really twist the game in a good way still today.
I'm curious to see what you guys think about it!

Best,

Quote from Hæim#NO

Hey! I love the idea with night truce, but I think it's implementation into the game is altering the game

in a couple more ways than it should in my opinion.

1: As it is right now it adds a lot of unnecessary complexity when coordinating attacks on kingdoms far away from you since you can't launch attacks while the night truce is going on, and they can't land while it is going on either.

For example if you are trying to coordinate an attack with 3 attackers taking 16 hours, 10 hours and 6 hours to reach a target then there is no way in the current system where they would be able to attack at the same time. The person taking 16 hours HAS to send their attack over night because as soon as the night truce ends the attack will already land when the night truce starts the next evening, so the only time they can land is from 8:00 until 16:00. The second attacker can land either from 08:00 until 10:00 by sending over night or from 18:00 until 00:00. This means that if attacker 1 and attacker 2 want to coordinate an attack together then they have to land from 08:00 to 10:00 and there is no way for attacker 3 to be able to make it there in time because their travel time is 6 hours, and that means they'd have to send in the middle of the night.

The time to travel to a village can be altered by tournament squares and by choosing to send your attack as a siege (mercenary boots are only acceptable for suicide runs), but for a kingdom that is spread out you will still hit the night truce wall at some point and because of it you won't be able to set up a proper attack plan, and I think this is making a lot of bigger kingdoms look away from the night truce worlds, but this is just my speculation.

I have a suggestion for a change to the night truce that still keeps the spirit of it intact in my opinion. If you make it so that any attacks that take more than 15 hours and 55 minutes to land can be sent even during the night then it would effectively deal with this issue. Keep in mind that they can only be sent during this time, they still have to arrive at a point in time when the night truce is no longer active. My reasoning for this time is because attacks taking less time than this can be sent during the same day, and attacks taking 16 hours have to be sent over night no matter what. The extra 5 minutes is to give time for a proper attack sequence to take place. This does still however mean that most big attacks will happen just before 00:00 which is another issue in itself that i will not elaborate more on for now, but with this change we can atleast guarantee that there is a timeframe where everyone can land an attack at the same time.

2: There is also a much smaller issue with the way victory points is generated 5 minutes after the night truce starts. This makes it so that you can deactivate and activate your treasury every 12 hours leaving only 4 hours in the morning when it can actually be attacked and destroyed, and since it activates after the truce starts but before the points are counted then the rest of the day it will have hidden treasuries that are untargetable as well as making the treasures incredibly easy to move around. This is not a good strategy in the long run since you will lose out on a lot of tributes as well as the crop the treasures provide, but you can hold onto your treasuries for way longer in the endgame with a minimal amount of def. This would require quite a bit of teamwork though since stolen goods only can be sold during half of the day, but if it's just for the last 10 days then I think this could be quite an achievable feat to pull of.

My suggestion to fix this is simply by moving the time the victory points are counted or when the night truce starts, but this is not that big of an issue since you do still have a frame of window where you can do some damage to the treasuries.

Let me know what you think

Hi Travian Team,

I think we should set maxium time for relocate (like 1-2 times only). This will prevent governors who only relocate for reset their robbers hideout and sometime when they got attacked, they could just relocate and walk away.

Please consider this.

Thx!

Quote from Sca7ha

Hello everyone,

Im going to suggest something again after quite some time and I hope it wont be forgotten like my other suggestions.

Non-active villages are grey, what if you made some color differences on the map with other kinds of villages like those with protection (green mini flag), banned ones (black mini flag) and those that have vacation mode on (blue mini flag)? Is it really neccessary for us to click on those players, choose our attacking unit and then get the memo that the player can't be attacked due to reasons above.

It doesn't have to be a colored flag, just some kind of differenciation from other villages.

With friendly greetings,

Sca7ha

Quote from Mayo

Hello,

I would like to make a suggestion for the menhir system.

Right now, when you menhir you lose fields but get back the resources in inventory, which makes it very easy to abuse of it. You literally have a farm with 400k resources ready to be taken at any moment.

To avoid this problem, could you please either:
1. Leave resource fields leveled up --> Either way it's just a question of timing to rebuild them, which can be done almost instantly for 100 gold or less
2. Make it so those resources are not raidable

The first option would be probably the easier one to implement.

It's very easy currently to abuse of this.

Thank you,

Quote from th0mm#NL

Giving back res piles is fine imo. The problem at this moment is that people are menhiring 15-20 times a server with a way too big army for that day to kill little kingdoms.

- Limit menhir to a server day

- Limit menhir to a account age(in days)

- Limit the amounts a acc can menhir.

- Remove all troops when menhiring

These 4 are imo the most viable options and won't be too big to implement (i hope lol), while not changing the main intention of menhir.

That intention was if i'm correct to be able to get friends together closer, if menhir really is used this way then you dont need to menhir multiple times.

Quote from LovëGood

Since the roster has been renewed from the beginning,I would like to try my luck one last time.Maybe the managers( Unknown , Skadi )who really wanted to return the game to its former popularity have started to work.

SERVERS

Travian game servers are inadequate in infrastructure.There is lag at the beginning of every server and the players cannot start the game properly.First of all, TravianGames should take care of this and refresh all of its servers.Apart from that, the server crashes for a few hours after major battles in the game world.But the most important problem is that while sending an attack or defense in a game where seconds are very valuable, the server-induced delays of 1-2 seconds, not caused by the player,can change the fate of everyone who plays the game.TravianGames should renew all servers and provide a seamless service to players.

MOBILE APPLICATION

Nowadays,playing games has become mobile.The game has a mobile app,but it really has millions of bugs in it and offers an inadequate experience.Simply,the card game cannot be played in mobile.A company like TravianGames needs to see the course of the game industry and spend more resources on the mobile platform.With a decent mobile application, Travian can return to the old popular days,and we players can continue to play this game on our phones in a fun way.

ADVERTISEMENT POLICES

I do not even think that the game has an advertisement.I have never come across it before.If a survey is made,it turns out that the players are promoting this game.TravianGames needs to make ads specific to this game. If new players do not come,the community will not develop.New players should also be aware of this game.

PRICE POLICY

Players from all over the world even countries with strong local servers are playing this game.The currency of every country is not the Euro,and TravianGames may be a bit more player-friend than its pricing policy.Many companies (Steam,Amazon,EA,Netflix)have country-specific pricing policies.The biggest reason they can't do this is of course players who shop from outside of their region to buy gold for a cheaper price,but there are various ways to avoid this,by using one of these ways,TravianGames can also offer special pricing for players outside of the EU,thus increasing the amount of gold purchased by players and automatically their earning.

COMPETITION

The biggest reason why this game is enjoyable for me is the competition.The game is played in a more defensive way rather than an aggressive style of play.The most important reason for this is the current VP system.Each kingdom in Top10 or Top5 should be able to steal VP from each other, but there should also be some percentage of it.If you can steal 50 VP from the first kingdom, you get 25 from the second kingdom and 15 from the third kingdom.Thus,the top kingdoms do not only have to play defense after a certain period of time,and the kingdoms. have multiple strategies to get VPs.

Second,crowded kingdoms with more than 2 WWs are drastically reducing the game competition.They are crowded and powerful from other kingdoms, limiting what their opponents can do when they have 3 WWs.The number of WW that a kingdom can receive should be limited to 2.Thus,competition is protected and we do not see kingdoms gifting WW to each other.

In long-distance wars,especially in battles using siege,kingdoms can easily close their treasures.Treasury closure period should be extended.

It doesn't make much sense to use a spy with no attack power only to track the XP of the hero.This is a feature that prevents large and detailed operations from being performed.In the game,defense is more advantageous than attack, and this feature makes that advantage even greater.The attacking side needs to be very careful and even if it cannot take action against only 1 spy,the whole operation plan is deciphered.My suggestion is that the spying process doesn't get XP.

INNOVATIONS FOR KINGDOMS AND SECRET SOCIETIES

Kings and dukes are guardians and rulers of a kingdom.They should be able to see the players' villages as in the secret society.

While the map is being painted,there is also the ability to paint for the secret society,but this feature does not work, this error should be fixed.

Subject headings that are opened should become erasable.

New roles must come for both the kingdom and the secret society.Not every kingdom uses programs like discord.Even newly established kingdoms are difficult to recruit.If roles such as attack commander and defense commander are added to the game, communication and job sharing will be quite good.

EVENTS

Activities such as forum competitions,events,campaigns should be in abundance.

The game should be an official discord channel.It would be nice to have an official environment where special rooms are opened for the servers and players can meet each other.

Building and soldier skins have been changed in Travian Legends.We also need such changes.

The images of the game worlds specific to seasons,special periods and big events may change.Like a snowy map in winter.

Detailed statistics,detailed announcements and news after the game worlds honor all the players who play that game world.

Kingdoms should be encouraged to use the forum actively and each association to open its own report page.

Hun and Egyptian race should be added to the game.

INSUFFICIENT TRAPPER

Trapper is the weakest special building in this game.Changing the building makes unstoppable the Gallic race instead a few improvements can be added to this building.I have three different suggestions :

- Captured soldiers should be able to be executed.

- Captured soldiers should be able to be returned for a certain amount of raw material, depending on their type.

- Should be able to convert a certain part of the captured soldiers into their own troops after a certain period of time by adapting their race.

FIGHT AGAINST CHEATING

- The biggest issue is slow feedback, they should be fixed.

- The penalties should be made a little heavier.After a certain repetition,the account should be perma banned.

- Should be more multihunters.

- The game gap should be closed as soon as possible.(As an example of this,I predicted that it could be misused when the vacation mode first came out and I gave feedback about it,but I was ignored and eventually it became unavoidable.)

- The rule book shared with the players must be followed.(The biggest example of this : "any account can't be opened for the benefit of another account",but multihunters are ignoring this rule.)

I tried to summarize the things that came to my mind. Since my main language is not English,I hope I wrote it understandable.My biggest hope is that the new officials work to improve the game. If they want more detailed exchange of ideas, they can reach me from discord LovëGood#9971

Quote from Bare

Good evening!

I have few suggestions i would share, Feel free to join the conversation

1.

''Punishments'' For quite some time now i has seen and heard from multiple players.. We need way harder punishment for all the ''Tricks'' that can be made

Now a days we are getting way to light punishments.. ''Example'' For using multies Players are getting 10% Pop, empty warehouses and banned multi accounts... How can be
I mean the benfits of having multiple multis is way better than these 10% pop and empty warehouses so ofcource MH wont get rid of them

Suggestion to the problem.
All multis banned immediately, All troops wiped, 25% pop, empty warehouses

The scond time getting caught using multis on the same server ''Perm Ban'' rest of the round

2.

This punishment i quite simple..

If the ''Player'' getting caught in using any form of Scripts, Bots, Etc

Just immediately ''Perm ban'' rest of the round

3.

Now to something completely different

ATM there is way to many on going servers for the amount of active players.. with all these servers the ''Players'' will be gatherered around to many servers which causes in way too little activity

This goes on for too many servers tbh i mean, Regular speed servers has like 3 - 4 on going on the same time sometimes.. Far to little players to keep all these servers active and competetive

If we minimize the servers we will get way more Fun, Joy, and much more competetive servers
and maybe even get Travian Kingdoms to the old good days with way less multies and scritpers around us

This game has been a dying game for too long cause of too many has left because of the first 2 topics...

Sorry for my broken English

Regards - Bare

Quote from D-T

So, I was wandering why should speed server suffer the same pain as every other server? I know, that 7 day trading ban is nessesary to avoid early game boost via multiaccs, but why should x5 server have this feature as well? I don't want this feature to be complety removed, but I would like to see it change. For example if it will be changed for idk like 2 days? Because it will not change anything, if players want to trade in a early stage game, they will just sent their resources to their second or third villages and let the other player rob it, and then the player will rob his village as well. If you will keep these 7 days that's 1/5 of the whole server. Most of the players wants to trade with other players from the kingdom, but they cannot because of the market. Even x3 servers have this feature which is not addapted to the speed of the server.

Quote from Pinkguy#NL

I know we talked about this before but I feel that this is still a pressing issue and I simply can't find the old thread.

The problem:
Servers become too crowded.

The original solution:
The map expands based on the number of available spawns.

It seems to happen when any quadrant runs out of spawn locations. I could very well be wrong on this specific.

Why has this solution become insufficient?

1. The relocation system has made it possible for people to relocate to non-spawn tiles, opening up their original spawn tile for new players.

2. Less players register later in a server. By the time a quadrant has filled up the first inactives start despawning, opening up the old spawn locations.

Possible solutions:

1. Make map expand sooner. Once all spawns X tiles away from the map edge have been taken the map expands. Or factor in the world age.

2. Don't open up old spawns. When someone relocates their spawn opens up once or twice for new players to spawn and then it gets locked. When inactives despawn their former village locations don't open up as spawns. Don't despawn inactive and instead allow them to be catted down. Allow kings to prevent spawns in their kingdom. Slowly lock spawns from the center outwards.

3. Increase base map size. Maps never seem to expand more than once anyway so base size is too small, first expanse is good enough. Right now the map has a radius of 60, first expansion makes it 70, so lets do that.

4. Decrease the available spawns. By making the spawns more sparse players get a bit more space, decreasing crowding. Less spawns means that the condition for map expansion is reached sooner, again decreasing crowding.

Technically easiest solution:

I think from a technical point #3 is the easiest solution.

This also increases total croppers at server start, which is also something some people asked for.

Most elegant solution:

Combination of #2 and #3.

Though #3 addresses the crowding and the croppers, it fails to prevent another nasty byproduct of spawns opening up.

I've seen people who start more than a week late spawn very close to the center, often within an already established kingdom.

By locking the spawns you prevent new players from being dropped in an overwhelming situation. And you prevent frustration in already established kingdoms over total newbies spawning inside the borders hogging a potentially desirable tile.

Possible downsides:

Game slows down, people have more space, will have less to fight over.

My personal suggestion:

Try to increase the base map radius from 60 to 70 and see what happens.

Please feel free to add your solutions, thoughts, problems, and other suggestions.
I'll try to add them by editing this post.

Quote from Shpagin

for start would be nice to just change how VP´s are gain.it won´t prevent multiple wings working together but at least biggest kingdom on server wouldn´t get too much a lead just because they have most members in kingdom. by simply implementing reduction of VP production per number of players.

let say:

50 players / 100% VP´s gain per treasures

60 players /90% VP´s gain per treasures

70 players /80% VP´s gain per treasures

80 players /70% VP´s gain per treasures

90 players /60% VP´s gain per treasures

100+ players /50% VP´s gain per treasures

or

1-70 players /100% VP´s gain per treasures

70-90 players / 80% VP´s gain per treasures

90+ players / 60% VP´s gain per treasures

just example not sure how % should look like exactly in order to work it properly

big kingdom or even meta would still have advantage of numbers in terms of deff/off power , resource production etc. but at least they wouldn´t have insane VP lead so other smaller teams have bigger chance to fight and compete for first place. i believe it could make rounds more balanced.

Quote from LovëGood

Recently, people have been opening new accounts and distributing them to players and getting sitters and duals from them. In this way, certain people can access the accounts of the players of the entire kingdom at the required time. There are measures that can be taken against this.

1) Registration with random mailers should be prohibited. Already, important e-mail address platforms ask for a phone number for confirmation when opening an account. Platforms that require phone confirmation when creating a new e-mail address will be sufficient for this game.. This game should not accept e-mail addresses such as [email protected].

2) Newly opened accounts should not be able to use sittership or dualship features up to a certain level of prestige. As a new player, he can has his own sitters or duals, but he must not be someone else's sitter or dual.

3) Even if the account holder stops playing the game, an account is used for 14 days with sitters and 30 days with duals. These times need to be reduced.

Quote from The Great Wall

Hi!

I have a suggestion on how to prevent abusing defensive rating on the final stage.

I often see a situation when a player with a small defensive rating earned during the server game becomes one of the top-3 players because their teammates start killing their troops on him in the last game day.

As a rule, the troops that the allies spend on def-rate abusers are not attacking mostly. Therefore, the rating received on the last day on the allies is a pure kind of abuse to get a place in the Hall of Fame.

So, my suggestion is to stop giving players defensive points received for killed allied (kingdom members and all allied kingdoms) troops after level 50 of any the Wonder of the World at the current server.

I saw situations with defrate abuse multiple times. The game doesn't prevent it, so it a kind of legal at the moment. But this is still unfair to the players who get their defrating by playing actively.

Quote from Clubs

Ok, I came up with a possible solution for multis just now so it may have many flaws that I have not thought through. Or perhaps this has already been suggested, anyways I just wanted to quickly note this down before I forget.

To prevent multi farming within the same kingdom, kingdom members should receive absolutely zero resources when attacking kingdom members. I know there is already a limit of how much resources you can get from attacking own kingdom members, but this solution would absolutely discourage any multis joining the same kingdom as multi farms. You might be thinking that this solution wouldn't stop multi farming because multis could just be farms without being in the kingdom, you are absolutely right. Instead, this small change would help us better identify possible multis.

With the restriction in place, multis would be forced to be kingdomless members. Assuming these multis don't build troops, they would eventually be public farms available for everyone which helps level the playing field. However, it is possible for multi abusers to spike their multis and make it their own private farm. So I suggest another solution, like travian legends, players are not allowed to reinforce kingdomless members. This again levels the playing field allowing everyone to farm these multis. Only problem here is that abusers may start building defense in multis to prevent their multis from getting farmed and dodging attacks to only let their troops pass to reap the rewards of their multis. Unfortunately, I was unable to think of a solution to this problem, but I believe it makes it dramatically more obvious in determining whether players are abusing multis when a certain account is only dodging attacks from certain players. You could argue that abusers may ever so often purposefully kill their own troops or let a few other players farm, but I believe this would drastically hinder multi abusers' efforts in abusing the system and possibly stop abusing it all together.

You could argue that multis could just be in a different kingdom and continue to be abused, but the same would apply with the previous point. Say abusers reinforce these multis from a different kingdom, or the multis build their own defense, it would again make it obvious what these abusers are doing when they only let their own troops through.

Although this may not be a direct solution to stopping multi farming, but I believe this helps create a checklist for moderators in what to look for by better defining the multi abuse, generate more evidence to these types of abuse and also hinder and discourage the abuse.

Edit:

-by not allowing multis being in the same kingdom, there should be no reason for a player to be benefiting from another player without any relationship, so this makes it more clear when identifying multis

Herkese selam.

Bir soru ile başlamak istiyorum.

Bir şehirde bir hastane ve burada 5 tane iç hastalıkları polikliniği ve 5 uzman doktor ile hemşireler var. Bu 5 poliklinikte aynı anda 1 hastaya mı yoksa 5 hastaya mı bakılır? Cevabınız 5 hasta ise, bu oyunda 2 şifa çadırı kurduğum halde, neden, aynı anda sadece 1 asker iyileştiriliyor? Sizce de mantıksız değil mi?

Hello everyone.
I want to start with a question.
There is a hospital in a city and there are 5 internal medicine outpatient clinics and 5 specialist doctors and nurses. Are 1 or 5 patients treated at the same time in these 5 outpatient clinics? If your answer is 5 patients, why is only 1 soldier being healed at a time, even though I have set up 2 healing tents in this game? Don't you think it's unreasonable? (Google Translate)

Hey Colossus#TR

You can find the full information on the healing tent here.

A quick answer to your question is this:

Regardless of the number of healing tents, there is only one queue. Building additional healing tents will not create multiple queues, it only creates more capacity.

Your healing time will be influenced by the highest level healing tent in your village. For example, if you have 5 healing tents. 1 is level 20, and 4 are level 10, all troops will be healed at level 20 speed (which is the same speed as a level 20 Barracks or Stable for the same troop type).

Best,

W.D.
