Travian Starting Guide

Travian does provide a tutorial right after you register an account. The best thing to do is just follow the quests. By the end of the quests, you are required to choose whether you prefer war or economy.
Your choice as I don’t have any preferences on this. As for tribes, you can choose either of these – Romans, Gauls or Teutons. I am playing as Gauls.
Starting on a new Travian server
If you starts on a new server, you are lucky as everyone else is like you. The best thing to do, is to start increasing your clay, wood, wheat and iron. Concentrate by that order and at the same time, build you your barracks and create about 20-30 of your basic units. At this stage, you should begin farming those around you immediately or you will get farmed. Yes, increase your resources level to get more resources and at the same time, farm other village to get more resources.
Starting on a not so new Travian server
If the server has just started about a month it is still ok. It will not be a big problem for a newbie, but never starts on a speed server if this is the first time you play Travian, even though it started yesterday. Unless you can be online everyday for more than 3 hours.
Anyway, if you are starting on a not so new Travian server, start with at least two crannies and upgrade both to level 10 while increasing you resources as the order above and building your barracks. Take note that if you are attack, ignore the barracks, but concentrate on the crannies. Crannies will protect your resources from being farmed. Gauls hold twice as much as other tribes.
If you are not being attack, then build barracks and then troops and then attack.
Your should upgrade all resources to level 5. On a normal server, you should also consider to upgrade you main building first. This upgrade will speed up the building of all other buildings.
Build residence first. Go for level 10 so that you can build your settles and open a new village. How to manage all these, that is for you to think about.
Currently, I’m on the Malaysian Server 3. The 4th Malaysian server just started on May 4th, 2009. It’s still early for you to join.
