Danish Speed (.DKx) Comes To An End

Hey Guys,

Although I haven't had time to play a server in the last two months I have been kept in the loop regarding the Danish Speed Server by a couple of good friends and now that it has finished I have some nice reports to share about it (some of the better endgame reports I've seen in the last year). First of all I'd like to congratulate the WW winner, Flyttemand Poul and his alliance PoRa.

A lot of WWs left untouched

Before we get onto these wonderful reports I'd also like to show you some of the other final statistics for  attackers & population which I feel also deserve a short mention.

Highest Population Accounts

As can be seen in that image the WW winner also took the highest population account by a massive margin of around 15,000 population and nearly the entire Top 20 come from members of his alliance group. Whether or not population is of merit to you I still think it's a pretty major achievement.

In these two attackers statistic images you finally get a lot more diversity with various alliances and players taking the top attacking positions without necessarily being on the winning side, although the WW winner does also win the biggest attacker slot which really does highlight his domination of this round so again congratulations to him.

Finally onto the reports which is the thing most of you have stuck around to see, which is understandable of course

Impressive Clubs with 74K Rams - Travian Can't Register more than 65535 Rams in a Report

Another nice set of Clubs causing major damage with lovely catapult attacks

Decent Roman Hammer with good catapult numbers

Decent Gaul Hammer with Swords

Smaller Gaul Hammer but still causing major damage

Another Extremely Large Club Hammer causing serious damage

I've heard that one of the leaders is preparing a video for the end game with many more reports so hopefully when it's ready they'll allow me to post it to the blog. Another thing I'd like to mention before I go is the ever dropping numbers on Travian speed servers across the game but mainly on smaller, regional servers such as these. I think it's a major shame that we are seeing a drop as some of these servers feature the very best players and gameplay. 

800 Active Players is a shame!

Twice attempts of destroying DIADEM hammer village

The Full Battle Report is posted below... just enjoy guys... So much fun eh!!!!!

An hour before we hit deffer, our hammer village were being cataed and 2 guys sent their 3 chiefs. But they were not successful.

I will share battle report. For now, my report to WW is being post. I am hungry and I need to feed my stomach.. Plus I am married woman and I need to attend my families.. Plus I dont have enough sleep last night feeding armies, we even starved our defenses in the village. Ok I will be back later and fix all things..

Bea-

Here's the stories:::::::


Aww, we have an incoming attack from Antares of CS alliance after they saw our attack that has hero coming to deffer WW village. Isn't it wonderful to have an eagles eyes artefact? Yeah, deffer has and it is 10x.



I am trying to see if it is footman or cata attack.. Simulation:



After talking to Getman, he said - he has speed artefacts. Oh no!!!!! Getman calculated it. It is cata speed. We were talking of what we gonna do. We already destroyed our fields and we build level 1 in each field just to avoid the total destruction of the village.


More incoming from Antares... now we did not know where is the real attack :(


This was our final village when our armies are out. Four military structures were removed and replaced it with granaries. We decided to remove the workshop and replace it with cranny. So they could not take it out all the resources at least. But for sure, they will hit in random and so cranny still can't escape by the catapults.


We trained more phalanx at least for 8 hours plus waiting for him. It can add up a few for more split defense.

Look the picture below of what he did to my village.. He raped me LOL!!!!! Antares left me almost nothing (where is my clothes Antares? am kidding). We were going crazy in building it while Antares is hitting the village. Golding up!!!!!! The sniping and cutting of waves really helps a lot, one of the throw damaged only 1 or 2 levels of the granaries. It saved us!!!!!


The attacks:
First clearing: His armies are bringing their sacks almost full :(. So sad :(
We were not stupid enough to face that attack since we don't have enough defense in all of our villages. Those were supposed to snipe the cata but then he sent first 20 waves of fakes. He is pretty good though, we thought that that was real attack.



This is how to snipe it... Cutting waves is cool....






After all the attacks landed. Here's our message for Getman;

I know Don was online, I guess only 3 of us. Me, Getman and Don. James was not with us when the attacked landed. I love my pals.

Our hammer died but at least not that much. We can still call ourselves lucky!!!! Lucky enough if our village will not be destroyed on their second attemp lol...`

Updates: At 18:25PM GMT+9 January 29,2011. Are we gonna make it? As we were calculating the time, Antares hammer will be back before we will hit deffer WW village.


For the last 10 hours, Antares is coming in our way again and sent a synchronize attacks. We had incoming already from 2 players and we were suspecting for a conquering village, so we are ready to change our capital, you can see our palace picture up above.
My level 19 croplands will become level 10, oh well!!!!!!The spaces of the attacks is too close for a second. Hoping that we can manage in sniping and or cutting waves and or at least our village is not totally destroyed. If our hammer village survive then we have an hour to hit deffer. We are going to prepare all our markets and ready to push resources for building granaries. We are keeping our fingers cross :(. This is the art of the game. Adrenalin is gonna get going out again. Gold is up and ready for instant build.

Look at the picture below and up as well. Find the landing time. Are we gonna make it?


Since I am such a blabber woman then I sent message to Antares and finally he was telling us that our village will be destroyed with a specific times. I was so worried! We have still a high hopes that we can manage to kill some of his armies.

Here's my Getman doing his tasks. Sending split defense...screenshots below.


Clearing the village: I was so thankful for Gabriel and JEE for giving me defense. His defense landed and face the first clearing attack.


There were 6 chiefs sent



We build warehouse and Main Building on this photo:

They left me 92 pop, we rebuild quick LOL. Gold ... gold.. gold...




Message we got from travian forum above :P:P


This is the full battle report....



The last look of my capital which is level 19 :(( and the inside the buildings. I build level 19 croplands for quiet sometime now. My first time only got level 18 since I made capital a mini hammer village and am also a noob that time lol. The next round, I only did it to level 19. No storage arte if I do, I should get level 20. I will try to get level 20. This is my last goal in the game. I hope that can build in the final round of the champ server.

Travian 4 (For & Against)

Hello, my name is Joe, and I really like playing Travian as it is really addictive and catches you into the world of it, and I been playing for 2 Years, which is the classic server we have these days but now T4 is taking over the classic server will be the server we currently have. I really like Travian, but I do not want to quit because a new update to Travian has been made

Arguments:

The reason I will not play for T4 is because the Graphics are bad, well good graphics but it looks like a fairytale story, but that isn't what this game is about. This game is a war game, that isn't for pansies. There are more reasons other than graphics, for example:

- Longer map loading time

- Harder to raid from the maps ^ (basically same as above comment)

- The Gold Club feature isn't full and you have to play 5 Gold to extend it a certain more amount of days where as on T3, you pay 50/100 Gold and it lasts the whole Travian Server.

For:

I really like the idea of the Adventures function. The Auctions is pretty stupid but can be good, but maybe you could possibly bid for troops. For this the Gold should be cheaper/more gold for it's price.

Back In Business

Hey Guys,

Sorry for my absence from posting in the last month but a personal tragedy hit myself and my family on the 24th of December and it's been hard to deal with however I'm now back on the game, although not actually playing so I will be back to writing again from today. This isn't a game related post, I'm just going to be talking about the blog and what we've achieved in the last couple of months or so as well as talking about the next set of plans I have to improve the blog further over the next few weeks. 

Personally I'm really happy with the way we've progressed since July when I joined on, in that time we've had massive changes in terms of design as well as content. As you may remember (or not) we had a beautiful black custom theme which while looking great didn't quite work with most of our gadgets and sidebar content so we changed to this easy to customise light blue theme. Another major thing has been our new gadgets which I personally am very happy with, we've got all the sharing options allowing you to share our articles on more than 100 social networks and the ability to like our pages on facebook. For us this is particularly important because of the intention of a number of social networks to incorporate the number of facebook 'likes' a site has into their search algorithms, so if you haven't yet liked us please help us by doing so.

Most recently we've made two important changes, the first is the introduction of a mobile version of the site for people viewing from mobiles or from areas with low bandwidth. When viewing on one of these devices you should automatically be redirected to our mobile site, but if not you can find it here. We've used a fresh, clean look design so it will allow greater usage of the blog while on the move. Currently only 5% of our readership is on phones and other portable devices and we hope this will lead to a significant increase.

Our New Mobile Site

As well as the mobile site our other most important change is the addition of our twitter page, which can be found here, We'll be posting on there when our new posts are up as well as when we edit the site and other features. Please follow us as it'll allow you to get the latest news about the blog and know when new posts come up.

Over the next couple of weeks I hope to improve the website by focussing on our other pages as a priority, particularly reforming the Hammers & Rammers page; which is in serious need of some love and attention. I'll also be trying to add more guides and other informative information and to create a page where you can find links to all our Travian 4 related posts.

Since I joined in July the blog has picked up momentum gaining more page views and many more unique readers which really makes us proud of what we have achieved.  In the entire month of July we achieved only 6,017 pageviews and since then nearly every month has seen an increase on the month before and in December we achieved 16,495 which is an increase of just over 170%. We hope to improve further on this during the coming months and I'm hoping that by the end of this year we'll be able to achieve between 35,000   & 50,000 pageviews per month.

Best Day for Diadem in 2x server -hoping so!

I was looking my account and feeding the hammer village. Armies are off to one of the WW village. I was startled when I saw that one of my village has an incoming attacks. Awww... it is from Antares of CS alliance. Ding! At first I thought he sent footmen but then after talking to Getman that he has speed artefact. Another ding!!!! I saw 20 waves and then it grows until 85 attacks incoming to my village LOL. He is more than 9 hours travel to my village. We were worried if he is going to totally destroyed. My my..!!!!!

Getman asked me that he will be the one to destroy the waves. So I gave him the tasked to do it. While we were watching the attacks landing.
