How to start a server

There are many ways to start a server, some better than others. But whatever way you play, always start right at the start. You will here many people say they will start a few days later to get all the farms, but this is rubbish. There is less competition out there, but there is less everything. You will be handicapping yourself. The biggest limiting factor on travian is time, so never ever waste it. If you start 10 days late, you have missed 1 full week of raiding, for some people that could be 100k in resources. At such an early stage of a server, that is far too much to turn your nose up. So basically, start at the start.

What tribe I hear you ask? At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference. You play with whoever you want to play. While I can have a much better account as teutons, I prefer the challenge of making a top account with gauls or romans. It's up to you.

Whatever tribe you are. Do quests. Always do the quests. Don't be one of those fools who thinks they are all offense and goes straight to troops. If you do that, you will lose out. You will get much more resources if you follow the quests. The programmers in Germany didn't introduce them for their own personal amusement. Use them. And when you do the quests, choose the economic route, you get much more resources.

As for after the quests, that is very much tribe specific, so you'll need to speak to me for a more indepth breakdown
