Travian News International / General Topics 3
Introduction/WelcomeWelcome to the latest edition of the Travian newsletter brought to you bythe Travian .com team. Continuing our ongoing trend of writing about
holidays and festivals, we have decided to keep the content casual for a
few more issues; you will be able to read about some funny and out of
this world events which are annually observed but little known about. The
country for this month is the Germany, specifically important because it is
home to Travian GmBH :) As in recent issues, we are moving forward
with Bandgeek's guide for new players; the topic for this month are
troops. As always, there is also a contest and some riddles/games for you
to enjoy. Let us know what you think, and what you would like to see in
future editions of the magazine.

Untitled until now
Story continued from the last edition of the magazine:
Eldain could barely hold his laughter when he saw the senators face as the
legionnaires explained that he was not a prisoner but a guest. The man was
lost for words, and that was saying something for a man who made a living out
of speaking to others. Rumor had it they were so good in talking they could
persuade anyone to join their cause. He still had his hands near his swords,
ready to strike when it was needed. But so far everything was still normal, no
signs of hidden agendas.
Although, this was not the unusual for these tribes; backstabbing an ally
seemed to be a second nature. His eyes glared around the village; it was
obvious they were holding to Natarian ideals. Meaning the rich had everything,
and the poor had next to nothing. That explained a lot about how easily he had
defeated the legionnaires. They were mere conscripts! Cheaply produced
soldiers of the lowest ranks. That was something he needed to change. An
army of forced soldiers was no good army and often ill-equipped.
The story will be continued in the next edition of the magazine.

Server 4 Travian.comby Tim
Greetings from a small village located deep in the South -West. First time on a
Travian Version 4 server can be a little daunting, especially if youve only ever
played Version 2.5 of Travian. However the fundamentals are the same and
the interface is extremely intuitive.
So whats happening on this server? Plenty, with over 20,000 accounts there
has got to be a lot of position jockeying. With around 150000 casualties per
day, more than 1 million hapless little digital souls have made their way to
Travian Valhalla, but thats what you get when you relinquish free will.
For me, Beginners Protection ran out some 20 hours ago. Still waiting for that
first attack, theyll get nothing, but what of these animals Ive befriended? I
guess Ill find out soon enough! As a Gaul you tend to sit and wait, but for
what? Theres a myriad of villages with 2-4 population around. Why wait for an
attack? Time to go on the offensive; somewhat hesitantly, the first attack wields
a full swag of res.... Is there a difference between versions 2.5 and 4? The
answer is not really. People, with all their human frailties, still exist behind the
veil of every village! Save for the Natars? What the heck are they doing here?
Alls well at the moment. Still looking for an Alliance that will accept me, but
theres no rush, just the possibility of more treats from the task master.Anticipation is my friend on this server.
Kindest regards to all.

Server 7By Harry
Our sever 7 is full of excitement, people are sining up day by day but they have
shocking news and that is every powerful player has a v illage nearly in all parts
of the map! Where ever they build their village there will be one or more
powerful players there. So be aware!
But as you know our sever is getting old day by day and the Natars are also
growing day by day becoming more powerful. Alliances are busy fighting each
other but they are forgetting that at their back the Natars are growing. ONCE
OUR SEVER IS 1 year old the Natars will attack everybody. I think everybody
is forgetting that WITHOUT HELPING EACH OTHER, WITHOUT BEING
UNITED THEY CANNOT BEAT THE NATARS. I am warning everybody that
stop attacking each other and attack the Natars. Now it's your wish.....
But in our sever every strong player is attacking the weak player and are not
understanding the threat. Everybody is busy fighting each other. Even Ii have
faced this along with my friends we were new to this server and everybody was
attacking us, WE WERE HELPLESS!!!!!!!
Then we joined a alliance, the members of the alliance sent troops for our
protection. Now we are settled in this game and our alliance will surely win the
SERVER!!!!

History
Germany before 1871
Germany has thus far existed in three iterations of the Reich (kingdom, empire). Officially, the first German Reich was
founded in 962 AD as the Holy Roman Empire. However, prior to the formation of the modern German state and the
Second Reich, the many German states were disunited. In the middle of the 19th century, Germany was not a unified
country but a collection of over 350 principalities and 1,000 small states. This fragmentation and the feudal nature of the
society led to frequent conflict and high levels of poverty.
German Unification
After Prussia's victory in the Franco-Prussian War 1870/71, Wilhelm I of Prussia was proclaimed
German Emperor on the 18th of January 1871 and thus the German Empire was founded. The
unification led to rapid industrialization of Germany. By the end of the 19th century, only one fifth of
the population of Germany was still working as peasants and the country's economic output rivaled
that of the United Kingdom.
World War I
At the beginning of the 20th century,
competition for colonies and markets led
to increased rivalry between the
European states. When in 1914 Serbian
nationalists murdered the Austro-
Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in
Sarajevo, Germany pledged full support
for Austria's invasion of Serbia and
Europe slid into war. When Germany
surrendered in November 1918, the
country was in revolutionary uproar, the
Kaiser was forced to abdicate and a
republic was declared.

The Weimar Republic and World War II
Political upheaval, reparations and the loss of territory led to economic
instability and hyperinflation in the early 1920s. In the 1932 Reichstag
elections, the National Socialist Party (*****) led by Adolf Hitler, gained the
largest share of the popular vote and at the beginning of 1933 Hitler was
appointed Chancellor. Within weeks of taking office Hitler turned Germany
into a dictatorship. Germany under Hitler set off World War II. It ended six
years later, in spring 1945, with Germany's capitulation.
Germany divided
The victorious British, French, American and Soviet allies divided Germany and
Berlin into four zones of occupation, each under the control of one ally. In 1949,
the three western zones were united to form the Federal Republic of Germany
(Bundesrepublik Deutschland) and the Soviet zone became the German
Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik). Over the next 40
years the two states would develop very differently. In 1961 the Berlin Wall was
built, dividing the city in two.
Reunification
By 1989, a growing number of East Germans were deeply dissatisfied with their lives in confinement. Taking advantage
of the changing political climate, demonstrators thronged the streets demanding political change. Finally, on November
the 9th 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. On October the 3, 1990, Germany was reunited. In 1991, public vote decided to move
the country's capital back to reunited Berlin.
Economy
Generally speaking, Germany has long since been recognized as an economic and industrial powerhouse. In the past century
and a half, Germany has more often than not been viewed as one of the worlds leading economies; even after the crushing
defeat of WW I, when the German economy was left in ruins, the members of the Entente eventually admitted that Europes
market was severely weakened without the economic and industrial prowess of Germany.

Today, Germany has a social market
economy, characterized with a highly
qualified labor force, a large capital stock a
low level of corruption and a high level of
innovation. For some time now, Germany
has been the largest and most powerful
national economy in Europe; it is the fourth
largest economy by GDP in the world and
the fifth largest by PPP as of 2009. Logically,
owing to its economic strength, Germany is
a founding member of the EU, the G8 andthe G20. During a relatively short period of
time, from 2003 until 2008, Germany was
the worlds largest exporter. As of 2009, it is
the second largest exporter of goods and
services. Most of the countrys exports are in
engineering, especially machinery,
automobiles, chemical goods and metal.
Additionally, Germany is the worlds leading
producer of wind turbines and solar power
technology. World renowned annual trade
fairs and congresses are held in many cities
all over Germany.
Germany is home to some of the worlds largest and most profitable
corporations, including Volkswagen AG, Daimler AG, Siemens AG,
BMW AG, Metro AG and other companies, such as Adidas, Audi,
Porsche and Nivea. In particular, Germany is famous for its specialized
small and medium enterprises. It is also home to one of the largest
financial entities in the world, the Deutsche Bank, which was founded
back in 1870. It is also the home of Travian GmBH.
Infrastructure
With its central position in Europe, Germany is a transport hub. This is reflected
in its dense and modern transport networks. The motorway (Autobahn) network
ranks as the third largest worldwide in length. The quality of the German
motorway has long since been praised and applauded around the world.

8/3/2019 Com Magazine 2011 10
13/42
Germany has established a polycentric network of high-speed trains. The InterCityExpress or ICE network of the
Deutsche Bahn serves major German cities as well as destinations in neighboring countries. The largest German airports
are Frankfurt Airport (the third largest in Europe) and Munich Airport, both hubs ofLufthansa, the largest airline carrier by
passengers in Europe, while Air Berlin has hubs at Berlin Tegel and Dsseldorf. Other major airports include Berlin
Schnefeld,Hamburg,Cologne/Bonn and Leipzig/Halle. Both airports in Berlin will be consolidated at a site adjacent to
Berlin Schnefeld, which will become Berlin Brandenburg Airport in 2012.
Energy
As of 2008, Germany was the world's sixth largest consumer of energy, and 60% of
its primary energy was imported. Government policy promotes energy conservation
and renewable energy.Energy efficiency has been improving since the early 1970s;
the government aims to meet the country's electricity demands using only renewable
sources by 2050. In 2000, the government and the nuclear power industry agreed to
phase out all nuclear power plants by 2021. Germany is committed to the Kyoto
protocol and several other treaties promoting biodiversity, low emission standards,
recycling, and the use of renewable energy, and supports sustainable development
at a global level. The German government has initiated wide-ranging emission
reduction activities and the country's overall emissions are falling. Nevertheless, the
country's greenhouse gas emissions were the highest in the EU as of 2007.
Science and Technology
Germany's achievements in sciences
have been significant, and research and
development efforts form an integral part
of the economy. The Nobel Prize has
been awarded to 103 German laureates.
For most of the 20th century, German
laureates had more awards than those
of any other nation, especially in the
sciences (physics, chemistry, andphysiology or medicine).
The work of Albert Einstein and Max Planck
was crucial to the foundation of modern
physics, which Werner Heisenberg and Max
Born developed further. They were preceded
by physicists such as Hermann von Helmholtz

and Joseph von Fraunhofer. Wilhelm Conrad Rntgen discovered X-rays
and was the first winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. Numerous
mathematicians were born in Germany, including Carl Friedrich Gauss,
David Hilbert, Bernhard Riemann, Gottfried Leibniz, Karl Weierstrass,
Hermann Weyl and Felix Klein. Research institutions in Germany include
the Max Planck Society, the Helmholtz Association and the Fraunhofer
Society. The Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize is granted to ten scientists and
academics every year. With a maximum of 2.5million per award it is one
of highest endowed research prizes in the world.
Germany has been the home of many famous inventors and engineers, such as
Johannes Gutenberg, credited with the invention ofmovable type printing in Europe;
Hans Geiger, the creator of the Geiger counter; and Konrad Zuse, who built the first
fully automatic digital computer. German inventors, engineers and industrialists such
as Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin,Otto Lilienthal, Gottlieb Daimler, Rudolf Diesel,
Hugo Junkers and Karl Benz helped shape modern automotive and air
transportation technology. Aerospace engineerWernher von Braun developed the
first space rocket and later on was a prominent member ofNASA and developed the
Saturn V Moon rocket, which paved the way for the success of the US Apollo
program. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz's work in the domain of electromagnetic radiation
was pivotal to the development of modern telecommunication.
Germany is also one of the leading countries in developing and using green technologies. Companies specializing in green
technology have an estimated turnover of 200 billion. Especially the expertise in engineering, science and research of Germany is
eminently respectable. The lead markets of Germany's green technology industry are power generation, sustainable mobility,
material efficiency, energy efficiency, waste management and recycling, sustainable water management.
CultureFrom its roots, culture in Germany has been shaped by major intellectual and popular currents in Europe, both
religious and secular. Historically Germany has been called Das Land der Dichter und Denker (the land of poets
and thinkers). The federated states are in charge of the cultural institutions. There are 240 subsidized theatres,
hundreds of symphonic orchestras, thousands of museums and over 25,000 libraries spread all over Germany.
These cultural opportunities are enjoyed by many: there are over 91 million German museum visits every year;
annually, 20 million go to theatres and operas; 3.6 million per year listen to the symphonic orchestras. The
UNESCO inscribed 33 properties in Germany on the World Heritage List.

Germany has established a high level of
gender equality, promotes disability rights,
and is legally and socially tolerant towards
homosexuals. Gays and lesbians can legally
adopt their partner's biological children, and
civil unions have been permitted since 2001.
Germany has also changed its attitude
towards immigrants; since the mid-1990s, the
government and the majority of Germans
have begun to acknowledge that controlled
immigration should be allowed based onqualification standards. Germany has been
named the world's second most valued
nation among 50 countries in 2010. A global
opinion poll for the BBC revealed that
Germany is recognized for having the most
positive influence in the world in 2011.
CuisinePork,beef, and poultry are the main varieties of meat consumed
in Germany, with pork being the most popular. The average
person in Germany will consume up to 61kg (130lb) meat in a
year. Among poultry, chicken is most common, although duck,
goose, and turkey are also enjoyed. Game meats, especially
boar, rabbit, and venison are also widely available all year round.
Lamb and goat are also available, but are not as popular.
Meat is usually pot-roasted; pan-fried dishes also exist, but these recipes
usually originate from France. Several cooking methods used to soften oftentough cuts have evolved into national specialties, including Sauerbraten,
involving marinating beef or venison in a vinegar or wine vinegar mixture over
several days. A long tradition of sausage-making exists in Germany, including
hundreds of regional variations. There are more than 1500 different types of
sausage (German: Wurst) in Germany. Most Wurst is still made by German
sausage makers (German: Metzger) with natural casings derived from pork,
sheep or lamb intestine. Among the most popular and most common are the

pork or pork/beef and is smoked and fully cooked in a water bath, and Blutwurst or Schwarzwurst made from blood (often
of pigs or geese). There are literally thousands of types of cold cuts. Regional specialties, such as the Mnchner
Weiwurst popular in Bavaria, can also be found from all regions of the country.
Generally, with the exception of mustard for sausages, German dishes are rarely hot and spicy; the most popular
herbs are traditionally parsley, thyme, laurel, chives,black pepper (used in small amounts), juniper berries and
caraway. Cardamom, anise seed, and cinnamon are often used in sweet cakes or beverages associated with
Christmas time, and sometimes in the preparation of sausages, but are otherwise rare in German meals.
Mustard ("Senf") is a very common accompaniment to sausages and can vary in strength, the
most common version being "Mittelscharf" (lit. "medium hot"), which is somewhere between
traditional English and French mustards in strength. Dsseldorf and the surrounding area is
known for its particularly spicy mustard, which is used both as a table condiment and in local
dishes such as Senfrostbraten (roasted steak with mustard). In the southern parts of the
country, a sweet variety of mustard is made which is almost exclusively served with the
Bavarian speciality Weiwurst. German mustard is usually considerably less acidic than
American varieties.
A wide variety of cakes and tarts areserved throughout the country, most
commonly made with fresh fruit. Apples,
plums, strawberries, and cherries are
used regularly in cakes. Cheesecake is
also very popular, often made with quark.
Schwarzwlder Kirschtorte (Black Forest
cake) is another very well known cake,
made with cherries. German doughnuts
(which have no hole) are usually balls of
yeast dough with jam or other fillings, and
are known as Berliner, Pfannkuchen(only in the Berlin area), Kreppel or
Krapfen depending on the region.
Eierkuchen or Pfannkuchen are large,
and relatively thin pancakes, comparable
to the French Crpes. They are served
covered with sugar, jam or syrup. Salty
variants with cheese, ground meat or
bacon exist as well (but aren't usually

considered desserts, but main dishes). In some regions Eierkuchen are
filled and then wrapped, in others they're cut into small pieces and arranged
in a heap. The word Pfannkuchen can either mean German doughnuts (see
Berliner) or pancakes (see Eierkuchen), depending on the region.
A popular dessert in northern Germany is "Rote Grtze", red fruit pudding,
which is made with black and red currants, raspberries and sometimes
strawberries or cherries cooked in juice with corn starch as a thickener. It is
traditionally served with cream, but also is served with vanilla sauce, milk or
whipped cream. "Rhabarbergrtze" (rhubarb pudding) and "Grne
Grtze" (gooseberry fruit pudding) are variations of the "Rote Grtze". A
similar dish, Obstkaltschale, may also be found all around Germany.
Bread (Brot) is a significant part of German cuisine and is considered necessary for a
healthy diet. About 600 main types of breads and 1,200 different types of pastries and
rolls are produced in about 17,000 bakeries and another 10,000 in-shop bakeries.
Bread is served usually for breakfast and in the evening as sandwiches, but rarely as a side dish for the main
meal. The importance of bread in German cuisine is also illustrated by words such as Abendbrot (meaning
supper, literally Evening Bread) and Brotzeit (snack, literally Bread Time). In fact, one of the major complaintsof the German expatriates in many parts of the world is their inability to find acceptable local breads.
Regarding bread, German cuisine is more varied than that of either Eastern or Western Europe. Bread types range from white
wheat bread to grey (Graubrot) to black (Schwarzbrot), actually dark brown rye bread. Most breads contain both wheat and rye flour
(hence Mischbrot, mixed bread), and often wholemeal and whole seeds (such as linseed, sunflowerseed, or pumpkin seed) as
well. Darker, rye-dominated breads such as Vollkornbrot or Schwarzbrot are typical of German cuisine. Pumpernickel, a steamed,
sweet-tasting bread, is internationally well known, although not representative of German black bread as a whole. Most German
breads are made with sourdough. Whole grain is preferred for high fibre. Germans use almost all available types of grain for their
breads: wheat, rye, barley, spelt, oats, millet, corn and rice. Some breads are made with potato starch flour.
Bread rolls, known in Germany as Brtchen (a diminutive of "Brot"), Semmel, Schrippe, Rundstck or Weck / Weckle / Weckli,
depending on the region, are common in German cuisine. A typical serving is a roll cut in half, and spread with butter or
margarine. Cheese, honey, jam, Nutella, meat, fish, or preserves are then placed between the two halves, or on each half
separately, known as a "Belegtes Brtchen".

Educations purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.-Malcolm Forbes
Education its a funny word, isnt it? Its something that we cant hold in our hands, yet its themost valuable thing we can obtain. I mean, how is that possible? But I assure you, it very
much so. Education is something that we obtain in many ways. A formal education, which
is what most jobs require, is something that is earned over many years of hard work. And
its done differently all around the World. In the United States, we have elementary school,
middle school, high school, and college. In the UK there is primary, secondary, and
university. Education is done differently because the leaders have different ideas of what it
should be.
One thing that is for certain, no matter where you are in the World, your education is the
most valuable thing you can obtain. It unlocks doors for you. In the US, if you dont have the
minimal of a high school diploma or the equal there of, you can expect to make approx..
$444 USD a week and have 14.9% of your peers with the same level of education
unemployed. However, if you obtain a Doctoral agree (PhD) you can expect to make
$1,550 USD per week with only 1.9% of your peers out of work. I think these speak for
themselves.
With education, you can go anywhere you want. The higher your level of education, the
more doors it unlocks. In the US, its even hard to get a job at McDonalds without your high
school diploma. And that almost has to be one of the worst jobs out there. Education can
also make your dreams come true. Say you want to become a doctor. Doctors need a PhD
in medicine. All of the hospital administrators are PhD holders.

Now youre thinking, well, that's no fun!. Not true! Learning
new things, and how the world around you works should be
a fascinating and exciting experience. Getting an education
also teaches us to think out side of the box, and challenge
our minds. Thinking outside of the box, is in my opinion,one of the only ways to survive or have a chance at
surviving in the real world as our parents always
described it.
Education isnt just book smarts, either. Learning how to
survive on your own is also apart of that. hen I was eight
years of age, my father took me to an island on Friday. He
gave me a fishing pole, some rope, a knife, a hatchet, and a
few assorted supplies and told me to survive until Sunday,
when he would return. At first, I was very afraid. I had only a
limited knowledge of what to do. I knew that I first needed
fire and shelter. So I spent two hours trying to find wood
that was dry. I learned what wood would burn easily and
what wouldnt. I learned what made good fire starters.
When I got back to my camp, I had made a spear from a
branch that I had cut down and sharpened the end of.
There was a bear attempting to steal what supplies I had.
So I killed the bear, and I learned that my supplies 6 foot offthe ground werent at all safe. But during this weekend, I
learned how to make several items by hand and use them.
I learned how to fend for myself. Now will this help me in
the real world? Doubtful.
My story seg ways into my next point. I like to think that Education isnt just book smarts. Its also street smarts
or knowing how to handle yourself on your own. Because once we get out in the real world, we really are on
our own. The time we spend getting our book smarts is also a time to explore what we like and what we dont
like, and to discover ourselves. We may not realize it, but the choices we make in getting our education can
effect our entire future. For instance, had I of not joined the orchestra in middle school and started playing
double bass, I may of never discovered my love of music, which is what I plan to major on in college: music
education.
Even though weve graduated college and gotten our career going and what not, a very well respected man
told me once that we never stop learning, and I believe that with all of my heart and mind. All of our
experiences combine to make our education even stronger, and better.

Given its the most valuable thing we can obtain, it
saddens me greatly to see people taking it for granted.
In the US, hundreds of teens play hookie everyday
i.e.. faking sick to get out of going to school. There are
kids in 3rd World countries who would give anything to
be in school. Speaking of which, lets talk a bit about
the education efforts from the UN to African countries.
The UN is spending millions every year to help to
provide primary education to those without. But sadly,
the declining budgets from the countries putting up
this money, these education efforts are starting to
decrease. According to the UNESCO, in 2015 there
would still be 23 million children still out of school, if
trends continue.My final thoughts on education are just that if you can
get an education, do it, take advantage. If youre lucky
enough to get one, dont take it for granted. There are
plenty of people out there who would do anything to
be in class!

Greetings Travianers!
If youve ever taken a look at an
events calendar, you may have
noticed just how many different
holidays or observations are
celebrated each year. Some of them
are national and dont appear on
official calendars of other countries,
some are internationally accepted
(though sometimes with varying
dates); some are secular, while
others are religious in nature. In fact,
if you take a religious calendar,
pretty much every other day has
some observance or celebrates
some saint. Then, there are such
holidays which usually dont make it
on the official calendars, be they
secular or ecclesiastical. Much like
the International Talk Like a Pirate
Day weve discussed in the last
issue of the magazine, these are
funny (or fun, depending how youfeel about it) little holidays which few
people know about and even less
people celebrate. Still, they exist and
Travian News International / General Topics 21
some of them are very interesting and
fun in fact, some might also be very
good to observe. Ill give you an
example:
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!!!
Feel that? Feel the blind fury? The
pain, the pain! The anger! That, my
friends, is known as the fury. Weve
all been ticked off or angered by silly,
mundane things which happen as
regular events in our daily lives;
waiting in line, having a bad day at
work or school, having someone just
act rudely or inappropriately, hating
the traffic and the nervous drivers
which go along much like oil in a fire
during a traffic jam. Have you ever
been frustrated when playing Travian?
Of course you have. Youve been
building your empire for months and
then some random guy whos been
frequently visiting the top players lists
suddenly just rolls his massive army in
and takes everything away; try to
reason with him and he will laugh at
your face just because he can. Of
course, hes probably just a cheater,
but the MH seems to not care (note
that the last line is blatant sarcasm
^^). Does it make you angry,
frustrated, mad? Of course it does!
Lash that pent up anger out and youll
probably attract negative opinions,
looks and comments especially if in
a public place. But, what if there was
a day when you could just scream in
anger and instead of everyone trying
to dial the asylum to come and take
you away, theyd join in? Well, thats
why the International Moment of
Frustration Scream Day was
created. It is observed every 12 th of
October, and you have the liberty
nay, the obligation to scream your
heart and soul out if you feel like it.
Trust me, youll feel better.

Speaking of being in a lousy mood,
have you ever been called grouchy
by one of your friends or family
members? Have you ever just
wished that you could BE grouchy
for no reason, just because you felt
that way at the time? Well, if its
October the 15th, feel free to do so
and you actually have an excuse,because its National Grouch Day.
This is the polar opposite of the
favorite October based Do
Something Nice day. Grouches of
the world, unite: your mission on this
day is to be as grouchy and as
miserable as possible for no
apparent reason! Be mean and
nasty if you want to, because on this
day you are not only allowed to
behave in such a way, it is alsoexpected of you!
Travian News International / General Topics 22
You know whats really useful if yourefeeling depressed or angry and
theres no friend around to give you a
hug? A stuffed animal. For all you
adults who still have a collection of
stuffed, fluffy animals and whatnots
lining a shelf or covering your bed, its
time to go out and be proud; if its
October the 28th, you can proudly
exclaim that you are the owner of a
number of fluffy animal toys! Why?
Well, because it is Plush Animal
Lovers day. Thats right roll out the
plush and revel in it!

The Race for glory is on; the banners of the elite gamers are finally marching to the grey lands. The Natars WW's are
about to be built, once those pesky plans can be found. They are hidden well amongst the tribes, well protected, well
defended. Only the brave or foolhardy can retrieve them. Of the 13 glorious free -state villages of the Natars that hold
the key, 6 of them have been conquered by the tribes. Union will attempt to raise their flag alongside that of Light,
F.A.T and 3 SGR world wonders. SGR are playing it safe most likely using the age old plan of having a fake WW, a
real WW and a backup. As was seen this month, when you read the article on ts9, this is the perfect strategy. But
can they show that this strategy is without its flaws? Who now has the strength to win this last race? Time will tell.
However, the holders of the artefacts will have some say, as the alliance with the most will have some added benefits
that others covet. The holders of the artefacts are:
Light with 3 small and 0 large.
F.A.T with 18 small and 16 large.
SGR with 23 small and 10 large.
UNION with 6 small 8 large.
Rogue with 2 small 1 large.
What can be said about the haul above is that this server is far from over. Yet FAT has the upper hand considering
the artefact total and the fact they have some significant large idols of the ancients in their possession. The fact that
SGR control 3 WW points is also a factor. So the winners will come from these 2 factions most likely, unless Union
and Light start defecting some of F.A.T and SGR's members. Joining the winning side or the side with more
momentum can be promising. This indeed is a story of war. Based on the fact that it is not easy to gain a WW point,
the fact that SGR control 3 shows they either have lost all their hammers or have significant reserves for the final
push. Its members will be praying for the later.
The server's largest player is 'Uzelac'; this population king boasts an impressive population count of 33257. However,
his village count is less than the player in second position by an impressive ratio of 39 to 35. The second place player
is 'Tiberius'. His name indeed is already folklore on this server. He is still the top attacker and the top defender; an
impressive feet. The number one hero is that of a player called 'Maksim'; his hero is level 156, a daunting figure
in any battle. The largest v illage belongs to 'Spider Cat' called funnily and ironically enough 'Largest Village'.
This humor is testament to the challenges of the server. An enjoyable end-game race will follow.

The server is gearing up and reaching the end point. The grey area, while not yet overcrowded, is showing action, most notably around
the fringes as the alliances position their supply village and assassin squads at the edges, ready for action when called upon. The server
has 3 main powers in MDS, SW and US. While a winner is not guaranteed from the super powers it is more than likely assured, unless
some great god appears with his charismatic tongue and speaks his way around some members and their allegiances. The combined
might of all 3 is to be feared, considering their haul of artefacts listed, as is listed below.
Eternal Legion with 6 and 2 large.
MDS with 19 and 11 large.
SW with 14 and 9 large.
US with 10 and 10 large.
Oi with 2 and 2 large.
As time goes by, and the end game starts to pick up the pace, more alliances will falter away, merging into the supreme power that will
push forward and aim to win the endgame. Who will merge? Will the 3 stay separate or have the secret councils already begun? Who will
reign supreme and lead the unified quadrants to glory? At the moment MDS stands at the fore, but for how much longer? Will OI and EL
unite or will they lower their banners in favor of joining SW, US or even MDS. Will the powers consolidate? Time will tell. An epic end issure to follow.
The stand out population player is 'FelixRomul' with an amazing haul of 18838 in population, which is over 1.000 more than his nearest
rival 'Rei'. The player 'God' stands as the most accomplished attacker thus far while 'Hedonism' stands at the fore in the defensive
category. The hero who dominates and scares all comers is 'BigFatCoward' at level 193, while 'Kadut' has the biggest population village
of 1447 at 'Singgalang'. These are the names of those who stand at the fore on this server to date. Can they remain there until the
end remains to be seen.

A pot boiling over and ready to spurt its flames This, the recent new server of the great Travian world, is on the pinnacle. War is going
to break out. At times quietness instills this barbaric server. It is simply the calm before the storm, because for sure a storm approaches; I
am not yet sure from which quadrant it's heading from but it will be fierce and will shape the world as we know it on this plane. Not many
alliances are banding together just yet, but slowly little wings are appearing. The notable alliances of old have brought their rearguards in
and are sitting quietly, unbeknownst to many. Some alliances have already openly declared their allegiances with a platitude of Naps and
confederations on their boards. Is this too early or just good planning? Some old alliances are reappearing, but whether under old rulers
or not is yet to be seen. These are CWL, Devils and DA. But we all know this is the DA of old, with their great leaders returning. Can they
claim another server victory? That waits to be seen, considering they are now in the usual quad of SW. MrCatfish shows his face. This is
an old, elite gamer who can never be put down.
Throughout this battlefield great alliances are already marching to the fore, laying certain markers for others. Already a good number of
players have ventured into the perilous grey area, with WAC seemingly being the alliance that ventured the most. They even have a good
number of supply villages on the rim. Solid planning early on for a center field is maybe a good idea. Their strategy will be tested at a laterstage when all others march to the center for the great main event of WW Victory. The alliance on top of the leader board is
'RoyalChallangers'; a solid alliance by the looks of things, but sometimes an early leader can never hold the pace.
The current population blaster player is 'Makassar' with 6 villages and 2645 in population. 'mlin' stands as the best attacker at nearly
20,000 points. The number one defender is 'energy' but based on this he has been hit hard. But yet his mighty army and those of his
comrades stand defiant. The hero that is currently in the history books is 'SI Pitung' with a massive level 64. Indeed, he is not someone
you wish coming to your village gates.
Early days are still here on this server, but the deals must be going on behind the scenes. The councils are convening in the quads in
order to align their selves for either the artefact hunt or the unification of a quad. Most likely the former, as the latter is nearly always
last done unless everyone fears you :)

Atop the WW stands a sight to behold, the banner once again of DACIA appears on a winning World Wonder. Indeed its members, its
glorious leaders, numerous battle hardened players admire the sight. They have won in a style befitting a war game, by fighting to the
bitter end and standing atop the rubble of broken walls, fallen buildings and indeed the corpses of both the enemy and the brave and
mighty defenders. They fought until the bitter end, unified over one cause and won. Mighty congratulations are to be had for all involved.
Indeed the troops left alive can only be found in one place now, the great tavern.
The winning WW was named Dacia in honor of the alliance that won. The holder and key player was 'Magarus'. He held strong. They also
had 2 backups at near full level held by both 'Gravos' and 'Ardelenii'. The nearest challenge was the alliance Enola with a level 1 wonder
held by 'Black Fox'. All the WW villages were held and the rest were held by Dacia and only one by hellas. Indeed, Dacia grew so big that
no challenge could be mounted successfully by anyone unless EVERY last player in all alliances united against them. And even then the
betting would not be taken against Dacia.
The top alliances show a funny story in that Dacia had 8 alliances in the top 10. Enola and Hellas held 2 spots between them. It can be
seen that some serious battles were had considering Dacia were atop the leaders of both defensive tables and offensive tables. But the
details in the defensive one are of great concern. It seems that the mounted attacks by other alliances were impressive, but not
impressive enough to crumble the WW.
The number one largest player was a Dacia player by the name of 'Katrina' With 40917 population and 42 mighty villages. A player
called 'Exorcist' stood tall amongst the attackers while his counterpart 'Ardelenii' stood atop the great defenders. Indeed, most of the top
defenders are WW holders. The hero of legend was 'Exorcist's called 700NitroExpress.
Another server has ended and Dacia's name grows in legends now, winning again. So congrats to all Dacia players for their victoryand congrats to all those who took part in another epic sever. May ye battle again on another realm of Travian shortly.

Characters are made in an instant; a flash decision can mold you into something great or forever damn you and your team till the end. It is
in some cases a game of dice. Can you role a pair of 6's or are you going to flop? The hand that beats the dealers is a hard hand to beat.
The gods however offer a different tale; they do not favor those who show their cards, or indeed those who boast their counts. They favor
the brave, the worthy and those that are downright foolish and proud at times. Victory is not a given, rather it must be taken. In Travian the
Natars are always facing a losing battle. Their loss is the gain of all others around them-
Teutons, Romans and even Gauls alike. The tc6server is ripe, open and a battleground. It is a glory fest of pure power. It is Travian at its best.
While no alliance has the Troll factor, they all have some great points. Indeed, no hand is being laid bare; the table is not even in place for
the hands to be placed. The dealer is afraid to deal. The alliances hold their cards to themselves not even viewing them for fear of spying.
The alliance =815= stands tall amongst all others in the highest tower. It is rare that an alliance founded so late on in the game springs
the trap and reaches the heights that others cannot. They rose on week 19, their shadows are those that spread like eagles and sore to
great heights. But can they stand the test of time, or will they like all eagles be hunted to near extinction? The core of the alliance behind
them hold nearly half the numbers so they are indeed some powerful players that sit around simming or else they hold the powers of great
armies. Soon someone will have to make a key move and unite and form a meta. From which quadrant will this be played from first? As
always, once played it will spread like locusts.
The server is done to bare bones; only 1136 players are left standing. Indeed, this explains the barren wastes. The absence of players
shows that war ensued on such a great scale that even the gods abandoned the scene for fear of retribution. The Natars are either
fighting back against the populace or they were first exterminated in this battle of tribes. The top 2 players in the population count are from
the same alliance that ranks first; they are 'S-riVer' and 'Midask' respectfully. The great 'C&e' stand as the best attackers nearly double the
points ahead of their nearest challenger. In the defensive section 'BEsT' stands atop the mountains of the dead, defending his realm. The
top attackers hero stands at the pinnacle in the hero's table; at level 81 'missy' stands supreme. It is an endgame that few will see,
considering the numbers left. How many more will stand the test? Will they be joining the brave dead? A really intriguing end will
happen here. Just a question will anybody see the end :)

Success cannot be guaranteed by simply holding all the keys to a safe, but it does help. The same can be said for the artefacts. Simply
holding the larger number is not a guarantee that later on you will raise the WW first, but it does offer some benefits that your enemies do
not have. Already the key factors are being set. The great alliances are stepping forward: Wild, Red (colors) SWAT, LORDS and IP. For a
long time IP kept their selves in the lower portion, but talent cannot be suppressed and their rise was not unexpected. Another slumbering
dragon is that of the alliance C. Keep note of those 3 simmer type players. They will rise to torment the world in the coming weeks. Most
of the quads are in the final stages of unifying their areas. Indeed, SWAT unified its members early on. The other great SW alliances
lowered their own personal banners and raise that of their new collective brotherhood. *FF* is led by the great Aula and KOTW led asalways by Elysium. This is KOTW's 4th server under their new banner. At least they stood the test this time and have not simply died out
but merged instead. Battles over the artis have already begun. The current holders are:
Colors with 13 small and 8 large.
IP with 11 small and 4 large.
Wild with 15 small and 18 large.
LORDS with 2 small and 1 large.
SWAT with 9 small and 4 large.
C with 1 small and 0 large.
ST with 1 small and 0 large.
As can be seen, there are 2 dark horses in the race above with both C and ST holding some small idols of the ancients. How long before
they are captured by one of the other powerhouses? The alliance WILD holds the largest quantity in both small and large. An impressive
haul, and makes one worry about their army. The members of Colors hold a nice haul themselves and can be proud of their
achievements. Considering IP's member base, they nearly have 1 artefact per member - nearly. SWAT holds the most in SW and lords
hold a scant few. Time will tell which of these alliances still stands at the end, but to mount a serious challenge deals will be made. The
grey area is the next great warzone of this epic and wondrous tale. Indeed, WIlD had the bigger foot but an influx of SWAT settlings have
moved them into a nice position. Their influx was geared thanks to Elysium. While this server is far from over, there are not many
core alliances that can make a challenge outside the top 5 named above. Unless a great merger occurs, that is.

The endgame draws near; another epic story is about to be written into the annuals of history. But what name will be upon the winners
page? Who will lead a WW win and which alliance will back the winning dome of power? Only 2 of the mighty 13 Natarian villages are still
held by the Natars. The rest are in construction for WW victory. a+t.com holds 4 WW and 3 of them are above level 50. SAppleM hold
two and one of them is also above 50, while PsyCo hold 4 and S-T- Hold one. Indeed, the WWs are rising fast.
The battles will soon ensue and all the members of the alliances are more than likely engaged in sending troops and resources to their
designated key areas. Only 985 players remain on this fairytale server. With so little gaming elite left there is little chance of a major
upset. Thus the stage is set and a+t need all but bow out if they want to lose. However, an upset can still be done if the Apple does not rot
to the core. The number one player in regards population is Freelancer with 32 villages and a population count of 27026. A mighty score
indeed. Johnmc sits as the number one offensive flavor on this server, while his throne is definitely divided in 2 as he also sits as the
number one defender. Bar the Natars of course, who also got a beating. The hero of the age is so far Johnms's hero called 'fagin'. At level
139 Kenil holds the number one village with 'wraith' holding 1297 in population.
While this server is in its f inal stages, the last few yards will not be easily made. The curtains are ready for a close but as they say it is not
over till the Fat Lady sings. And this server could yet hold that epic twist, that final nail biter. Stay tuned to find out.

Heroes, of soldiers of fortune, bravery, honor and even cowardice and betrayal can be seen floating amongst the gaming elite, past and present.
Indeed, the hallowed halls of the dead on this epic server tell their own tale. They avidly watch the victors emerge. Even I avidly watch this server as it
sculpts a new way of gaming. Indeed, it still holds the active gaming elite in its grasp, none wanting to leave for fear of missing something. Only 5 of
the WW villages are occupied by the gaming tribes. 2 of them occupied by the Darwin and WAR meta called dWWARwin. The great alliance equals
hold 2 while DemoEns hold one. The wonders are nearly complete. The epic saga is nearly over.....unless more twists are about to occur.
In the great village WWar owned by the general Tacitcus is where a great tale was unfolded. Equals planned to take down the WW. They marched
their banners along with all their offensive might down south to the WW of Darwin and WAR. Countless troops are still lying dead on this battlefield,
fresh from victory. Equals marched after destroying the great dWARwin Dome to dust. They marched further to the great WW of Passive himself but
this is where the united front of WAR and DARWIN battered all comers. Their WW still stands. They stood together united as brothers against the
enemy. At level 80 this WW is definitely a prized possession considering their other one lays in waste.
The winner will come from ether the dWARwin or equals regimes. Demons dont have a say unless they muster the biggest force that Travian gamers
have ever seen. The top 10 alliances are dominated by these 2 core alliance metas. The end has come for one of the servers biggest players: Vinti.His place was succeeded by 'JoOoker' with a population count of nearly 37000 and 40 villages. The number one attacker thus far is 'Yadz', while it is
no surprise that both 'Tacitus' and 'PassiveClown' are atop the defenders list by a great distance. Yadz also holds the number one hero with level 192.
The largest village is held by a player called 'kn!ght' with 1400 in population.
This server, as was once foretold, was on the path to greatness. Indeed it is still on this path and never had it strayed. The powers that behold this
server are ever watchful. Can the dWARwin WW hold its course and remain intact or will equals launch their entire arsenal at this camp to force them
down a peg or 2? Can their mighty defensive line hold?

Welcome to the BigTop, the main event, the ultimate challenge to prove yourself as an epic gamer. The championship. While this is not a circus, some
serious class acts can be seen when entering the arena of this gaming world. The forum is awash with talk. Everything flows from epic tales to total
anarchy. This is what it is all about. Enjoyment, coupled with learning as everyone on this server is learning from everyone else.
The top 5 alliances have changed slightly. Hamsters still sit on their perch as the great achievers. ~ADB~ no longer sits in second but has slipped to
5th. Let us hope this roller ride has not run out on them. LisMA -MK has fallen to 7t, while -p-36m- and turk remain in 3rd and 2nd respectfully. In the
meantime, Ds-IB takes the place of lisma-mk in the top 5. The IB - DA connection is again cropping up and questions can arise if this is the old core or
a new alliance.
Pwent has been replaced as the number one largest player and now sits behind the scenes in second, while AEON now stands atop the mountain.
The attackers board again has changed its face with 'hakanugur' now the successor and supreme attacker. 'Sunset single' sits proudly on their walls,
casting their eyes over the death beneath them; they stand as the best defenders thus far. The heroes worth mentioning in 1st and 2nd are 'Mihailus'
and 'hakanugur'. Both of these towering giants are at the impressive level of 183, nearly 50 levels higher than the nearest challenger. When you checkthe number one village you find AEON which is no surprise considering they are also the largest player. But when you see that this player has 19 of
the top 20 villages, it gives you a shock and awe factor.
This server as always holds the supreme right of the elite. They gather to the banners and they hold no allegiance to anyone but their own. This is still
a server to behold, a beautiful realm. When will she erupt? When will chaos ensue?

Get to know:Bandgeeks Guide for Beginners: Troops
Travian News International / International 34
by bandgeek
Welcome back! In this months guide, were going to give you a overview of thetroops, their advantages and disadvantages, and even some helpful advice!
So the first thing you need to know is that every tribe has its own kinds of troopsBUT they fall into the following categories:
Defensive
Offensive
Infantry
Scouts
Cavalry
Destruction
Administrators
Settlers
Each account also has a hero. Troops can be classified in certain groups fromabove. For instance, Roman scouts are scouts but also cavalry, whereas Gaul
and Teuton scouts are scouts and infantry. Also, important to note is that each
tribe has offensive troops, defensive troops, administrators, etc. They are just
named differently.
I. Romans
Romans have fairly well balanced troops, equally capable of offense and
defense. For Romans, the defensive infantry are the Praetorian. Both Cavalry
units for the Romans are good at defending, but overall, the Equites Caesaris
are the upgraded version of the Equites Imperatoris and can be used to pack
quite an offensive punch.So, Roman offensive troops are the Imperian, Equites Imperatoris, Equites
Caesaris, the Battering Ram, and Fire Catapults. For Romans, the Legionnaire
is the most basic troop type, being well rounded in offense and defense.Roman scouts are the Equites Legati, the final kind of cavalry for Romans.Roman destructive troops are of course the Battering Ram and Catapults. The
rams destroy walls and catapults destroy buildings. In order to complete certain
aspects of the game, catapults and rams are of the utmost importance. And
lastly but certainly not least, the Roman administrator is the Senator, who uses
his influence to conquer another players village from them. Most notably, the
Senator is the most efficient of all the Travian administrator units. Do not be
surprised if it takes one administrator less than is the standard for a Roman to
conquer a village.

II. Teutons
Teuton troops are highly offense based; generally weaker than their
counterparts from other tribes when it comes to their characteristics they make
up for their lack of fire power by being cheaper and quicker to produce. While
not entirely dangerous in small numbers, Teuton warlords are well aware of this
fact, so they will always attack as a horde, with a massive army of efficient if
cheaply produced units. Do not be surprised to see a vast number of Clubs
heading your way this is the ultimate edge of the hammer; the Teutons will
break through your defenses using the power of sheer numbers. That being
said, having only two kinds of cavalry, the Teuton armies are almost always
infantry based. Even the Teuton basic infantry is well equipped to raid. Teuton
defensive troops are the Spearmen, which are equipped to handle cavalry with
ease, and the Paladin which quickly does away with infantry. Even though the
Teutons are offensive by nature, when combined these two troops can make a
very fearsome defense.The Axeman and the Teutonic Knight are the Teutons best offensive weapons.
Both are very skilled in attack and will quickly tear through any army.Teuton scouts are infantry and thus move slower than Roman scouts. Teutondestructive units are the Ram and the Catapult.The Teuton administrator is so named the Chief.
III. GaulsGaul troops are more defensive based and their offensive troops are far more
expensive than any other tribes. The basic Gaul troop, the Phalanx, is an
excellent defender and is usually the base of Gaul armies. They are decent at
offensive measures, however if meet by enough defense they will surely fall.
Like the Teutons, the Gauls have a defensive cavalry and an offensive cavalry.
Their defensive cavalry is the Druidrider. The Theutates Thunder is more skilled
at raiding and attacking. However, their defensive capabilities are limited. And
of course the Gaulic heavy cavalry, the Haeduan, is a well rounded unit useful
for both offense and defense. However, be forewarned: its costs to train and
maintain are higher than most other units. Great power means great costs. Do
not underestimate an offensive Gaul; just because the tribe is peaceful at heart
does not mean that its warlords wont crush your army with ease if they wanted
to. In fact, a well played Gaul (much like a Roman) can be quite formidable in
both offense and defense.

IV. Nature TroopsIn Travian, to defend oases, we have Nature troops. They cannot attack, only
defend. However, they can be captured. Nature troops are currently simply in
order of defensive strength. For an overview of their defensive capabilities,
check this out:
http://t4.answers.travian.com/?
view=answers&action=answer&aid=109#go2answerIf youll notice, it is listed that they have an offensive value. This is because thatif Travian Games decides to make it so that animals can attack, it is already in
place. However, this is currently still on the drawing board so to speak.
V. Natar Troops
Aha the server troops. Looking for their attack values? Defense values? How
about how many are in each village? Well Im terribly sorry, but this is allhidden. The troop numbers tend to be random, depending on how often they
have been attacked, etc.
VI. Anvils and HammersIn Travian, you will often hear the terms anvil and hammer. So lets explain
what these are, and how to make one.
VI.1 AnvilsNow, Im sure that many of you are thinking about this kind of anvil:But in Travian speak, an anvil is a massive wall of defensive
troops, basically. Usually, you want a good mix of infantry and cavalry for your
anvil. Most anvils are upwards of 25,000 troops. Its not advised or practical for
new-comers to attempt to make anvils. With anvil building, you also need to
know how to tell a fake from a real attack. It can be tricky, and takes
experience. You have to know when to defend, or to send the anvil away as to
not alert the enemy how many troops you have. Anvils are always used for
defensive purposes, especially when an alliance member is in trouble. Do not
think that a defensive player with an anvil will not have any offensive troops;
though their number will not be as great as that of the defensive troops, they
may and probably will still be there.

Get to know:Bandgeeks Guide for Beginners: Troops
Travian News International / International 37
VI.2 HammersHammers are the other end of the spectrum from anvils. Hammers are
basically a horde of offensive troops. Like anvils, hammers should have a good
mix of offensive infantry and cavalry. Most good hammers have upwards of
35,000 troops. Although not typical, hammers can also include rams and
catapults, in case you need to knock a few walls and buildings down. However,
most experienced players have rams and catapults (catas) in separate waves.
It is also possible to have all infantry and all cavalry hammers. This, however, is
up to the players personal wants/needs and resources and such.
It is this players experience that would like to point out that splitting up
an anvil or hammer to defend or attack multiple targets means that your
attack/defense strength is cut into fractions for each target, thus making
each piece of the overall weaker.
What is mutual for both hammers and anvils are the maintenance costs; this
means that troops require food, and lots of it. Do not fool yourself into thinking
you have a hammer if youve trained offensive troops separately in differentvillages: the hammer is trained in ONE village. An anvil can function slightly
differently, because you can pool your defenses into one village when needed,
which brings us back to the topic of feeding the troops. There are a few ways to
maintain your hammer or anvil. Some players will prefer to get a big cropper (9c
or 15c) and keep the troops there, making the cropper their capital and thus
raising the crop fields above level 10. But almost always (especially once the
size of the hammer/anvil breaches a certain level at later stages of the game),more crop will be needed and so supply lines will regularly travel from other
villages to keep the troops fed. Another way of keeping this massive amount of
troops alive is to just choose a village to train and keep them in, and build a host
of granaries to store food which is sent from other villages; such players still
employ croppers for food production and the granary spaces are increased by
demolishing old and obsolete buildings. Finally, you can also fraction the
hammer or anvil and cut food costs while employing either one of the above
mentioned methods; what this means is that you can send a certain number of
troops to nearby villages which have a surplus of crop and thus reduce the crop
maintenance in your hammer/anvil village. This, however, can be potentially
dangerous in that your enemies may attack these villages and destroy fractions
of your troops, thus weakening your hammer or anvil without having to blast
their way through a massive number of troops they would normally have to go
through.

VII. What troops should I have as a beginner?
As a new player to Travian, its usually advised to have more defensive troops.
For Teutons, you need more Clubbies in the beginning. For Romans,
Legionnaires and Praetorians are usually best. They provide a solid offensive
and defensive force. And finally for Gauls, your best bet are Phalaxes. Also for
Gauls, you should consider making a trapper. One of the Gaul tribes best
defensive weapons is the trapper, especially at start game. While its not really
a troop, we thought it should be mentioned. The trapper for Gauls provides a
certain amount of traps per level. These traps are hidden, and cannot be seenby scout reports.
When you send a raid against a Gaul village, be weary of the traps!
One piece of advice for new players: The stronger troop types require more
resources. So, the higher your productions, the less time you have to wait to
train troops and upgrade buildings.
VIII. How do I train troops?Infantry troops must be trained from the barracks, and cavalry from the stables.
To get to your barracks, go to the village overview, and locate your barracks:
Mine happens to be here, where its marked.

You should see the same options, just different troops.For later on down the road, the rams and catapults (destructive units) you need
to build the siege workshop. Senators, chiefs, chieftains (administrators), are
trained from the palace or residency. More information will be included on
administrators in next months addition!
All troops (expect the basic units ie. clubbies, legionnaires, and
phalanxes) must be researched in the Academy before they can betrained. THIS INCLUDES ADMINISTRATORS!!!

Target NumberYou are presented with a target number along with six other smaller
numbers. You are supposed to use these six numbers and apply the five basic
mathematical operations (subtracting, adding, dividing, multiplying and
brackets) in order to get the target number or a number not too bigger or
smaller than the target number. The fi rst player who gets the number closest to
the target number wins 15 Gold.
