    As a note some people have mentioned cutting off Menhirs at 30 days.....but as a player....I have joined a server 1 month in......AND some times Travian still lists a 30 day old server as "New".....so 60 days would be good enough

    I believe that most of those, who mentioned cutting it at 30 days, meaned 30 days age of account - not of server (so if you join at day 30 of server, you can get menhir until day 60, when you are 30 days on server)

    Or disallow jumping if you have rams, catapults or chiefs

    Would work just partially. Even lot of clubs/imps and TK/EIs could hurt a lot (for example steal treasures and VP).

    But blocking menhirs with some amount of troops is interesting idea - but same limit for all tribes?

  • Menhir exploit

    As one of jumpers, i saw first hand how destructive that can be. Change to Menhir era 2.0 is good, but i think not enough.

    As told before, avatars older X days (30 should be fine) can be excluded. Or maybe limit number of menhirs per player (10 maybe? That would allow enough chances on start, but later you cant jump so much). But i believe one of those will be enough, primary account age.

    Yes, but why not check the fact first. We play with a group for some different years now. Experience players all around, as a teuton it's easy to farm fast. You don't need to cheat to get so many rss, attack everyone who has 200 pop and have an account working for 24/7. It's sad that they get banned, before they check what is going on. So in my opinion this means i can report just anyone i don't like and they get banned immediatly. Which i can use in my own best interest. In the past they checked much more facts first, before you got a ban or at least within 24h of the ban.

    Those two maybe got banned for having dual on server with their own account?

    Thats forbidden too (but thanks to rules, noone really knows for what and for how long they are banned).

    Excuse me Bukka, do you seriously think player #3 and #4 can be normal player and NOT multiaccounts of #1 and #2?

    Why any normal player should play like #3 or #4?!?!?!? Is it funny to play reck that way?

    I believe thats partially what he meant. Why would you do that? Majority of people who have it are multis, they wouldnt get anything for themself. And rarely you found someone who will sacrifice his whole account right on start just to boost someone else.

    This has been fixed for new servers but wont be changed for older ones.

    I would say partially fixed. But definitely better option not to be able to attack after being menhired.

    I think that main problem is that it allows to jump later, when you can have big armies. In first 30 days you cant have such big army (and if there were no menhirs for accounts older then 30 days... it would be better. Combined with 2.0)

  • no def army but they die

    Villages have some "automatic defense", which can kill weak units.

    Also, if there is wall or residence/palace, defense is bigger even for no def units.


    Upgrade your units or send more of them to avoid losses (and destroy wall and residence in that village).

  • Spiking rework/rebalance

    How many people are spiking and how many players use farm-bots? Is that a big problem for 200 farming people with great hammers destroy 1-2 people who are spiking and lose every troop in grey villages? Are you serious?! I remember days when people who were defending grey villages were kicked from alliances right away and were destroyed to 0 population in few hours. But now TOP players are lazy to cooperate, they are just crying to the forums. Bring back good hardcore players who want to cooperate and actually do something about it.

    Well, here goes problem of finding WHO is spiker.

    You can read all pages of defender points to try to find who spiked, but other than that, you have no chance to find spiker. Even then, sometimes you cant be completely sure you found right player.

  • Changing your capital city

    Build palace in some other village. There you have option to switch capital city.


    But be careful - all fields in first capital (now ordinary village/city) higher then 10/12 will be reduced, and you will loose stonemason if built.

    4. Rework the Victory Condition. This is a very crucial one. Currently if one kingdom gets a large enough lead they may simply be able to secure the victory before the server is over by hiding away their treasures and preventing other kingdoms from stealing VPs to catch up. It is in the final 2 weeks of the server a huge opportunity for the game to deliver an exciting strategic planing and amazing turn of events, both militarily and diplomatic. It's such a shame to everyone when a server ends in an anti-climax. Something needs to be done to keep both the mid- and the end-game exciting without one making one part exciting leading to that the other suffer. Personally I would like to see 3 completely separate victory conditions that when achieving either of these a kingdom win a server. For example:

    a) Having a World Wonder at level 100

    b) Having 10,000,000 VP

    c) Building a Imperial Palace

    The "c) Building a Imperial Palace" is an example of a new victory condition that would be of a "hidden information" style. Basically this is kind of the WW level 100 but it's existence and its current level is unknown to everyone except the owner. This would introduce a kind of a imperfect-information game aspect to the victory condition of Travian Kingdoms. It's just an example, but for example say that this building could only be built by they King, and he would in order to afford it be forced to use close to all of this tributes to be able to construct this building. It would introduce a lot more diplomatic and politics of the server, as other kingdoms would need to act when they see a World Wonder being close to level 100, or when some kingdom is expected to be able to reach 10,000,000 VP before a WW can reach 100.. OR when some secret rumors (true or false) leaks out that the King of Kingdom XYZ are building an Imperial Palace and will have it finished at day X. More plotting and excitement will follow all the way to the very final moment of the server.

    Just addition, VK should be able to build Palace too (not just king), otherwise when attacks start coming - kingdom will simply delete Kings village as only possible place.

    But current VP setting should be reworked too... in order to win, you have to be big. Or rather, being big makes win much easier.
