Travian: Old Powerbase / Stronghold

Panther did this, and I think it's a good idea. Many of the alliance members built one of their villages together in a similar area as a stronghold against getting screwed with :)

Any ideas on a good location for us to have one?

Currently, I have two villages adjacent to Blackhawk's starting village, but it's a little congested in there.

    Broady and I are looking at doing JUST that. We're ready to expand in a few hours. We're looking for a nice area that is somewhere in the middle of the mix of us and not too congested.

    I just replied to the mail from the Jato alliance accepting - figured it would be beneficial for us all. Will see how that goes and hopefully we can grow and ally with their other wings too :)

    EDIT: Update from qch2002 - " Jato is now a part of the FEAR colilition. They need permission to walk our request up their chain of command"

    Jato has joined FEAR coalition... So, if we can join up with them, we've got a BIG protection group!!! We're walking the application up the chain as we speak. :thumbsup:

    Looks like Broady is going to -90/145. He'll be there in 13 hrs. I'll be heading to -90/146 later tonight. That will put 5 villages in that area and kind of in the middle. :thumbsup:

    I'm currently lvl'ing my residence so I should be able to start a new village soon.

    Where we are located right now, there's a lot of L.O.T.R. and I don't think they are our allies.

    If you have Plus enabled you can see a bigger map and the area is truely congested. Somebody's gonna need to scout the map and see what areas are empty or something. We also should find some oasis.

    I'm leveling up my Hero's Mansion in Shipwreck (one of the villages by Blackhawk) to claim an oasis in that area. Also working on my Residence at Snake-Eyes (same area) to grab a fifth village, though I'm not sure where to put it yet.

    Broady is already on his way there. I'm at least 12 hrs away unless I can get about 12000 total resources before bed tonight.

    I have 4 merchants that can carry 2400ea in Beachhead, and 6 more between the villages near BH that can do 1500ea. It will take a while to get to you, but I'll send them if you want.

    //edit: Well, maybe 4 more near BH. Snake-Eyes (village 4) is light on resources atm.

    any help would make setting up another village a bit faster.

    What do you need?

    3000 of each would jump start the process by about 2 hours. 6000 of each would be nice... how long to transport?

    Sorry mate, Thrax showed up and I had to step away.

    In 2:40, you will have (total) 6,000 of each from various locales.

    OK... thanks. That means that I should be building a new village sometime tomorrow afternoon by you guys. :D

    Can you choose the coordinates of your new village when you sign up? I didn't see :tongue:
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    edited February 2008
    No, only the quadrant of the map... you chose the wrong one ;)


    Shipwreck is being attacked by a Myth member in 20 minutes. Snake-Eyes got attacked by a smaller village (Michae7) from LOTR. I just sent a lot of unsolicited supplies out to people from Shipwreck to make sure it's empty when the Myth guy gets there. (Shipwreck and Snake-Eyes are my two villages in the "stronghold" area).

    Well.. My settlers will be back home at 1:00 PM (Central) and then take another 10 hours to reach the stronghold area to setup camp. :)

    The Myth guy only got 800 clay from me :D I was literally 5 seconds too slow sending out my last merchant or he woulda got less than 20 of everything.

    He really came after you too... 2600!!! WOW
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian

    'Tis but a scratch! ;D

    I'm actively building up my marketplaces so I can shuttle resources better in case of attack. Once we have this stronghold built a little, it should be quite easy to empty or over-defend any village as needed. :)

    It gets more effective after you have a Trade Office and start cranking up how much each merchant can carry :)

    What level is that? I'll have to look into that. Right now mine carry 3k so some of my trades take 1/2 my merchants. ;D

    Trade office.... I like the sound of that... :D
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian

    Trade office needs level 20 market and level 10 stable.

    Cool... I'm almost there.
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    edited March 2008
    Yeah, it's nice. My capital can now send out 3K per merchant :)

    My next goal is to found a third village in our powerbase, next to Snake-Eyes.

    New village will likely be founded tonight in our powerbase.

    I'm forming a strategy :)

    Shipwreck, with its large warehouse and built-up market, will be my "distribution hub" for our powerbase. My two large villages will funnel supplies to there, and in turn it will send out bite-size pieces to Snake-Eyes, Wild Bill, and Scarlett as they chew threw what they have (and others if you need it, of course :) ).

    Snake-Eyes (my cropper) will start to build the larger force as soon as its ready to. With 15 wheat fields it will be able to support quite a force. :rarr:

    Michea7 in LOTR attacked me THREE more times (he has less than a hundred troops). I think we've reached an understanding though:
    OH, I am sorry.

    Dear dumb ****,

    If I need to relocate 3,000 troops to your village on a daily basis to teach you to leave my villages alone, just let me know so I can start the trek now.

    There's your diplomacy :ninja:
