    if you're a sitter can you send their troops to reinforce?

    yes, you can reinforce or raid, but you can't send normal attacks, so no catapults or senators etc can be sent by a sitter.
    well, they can, but they don't do anything... lol

    Greetings mr Muffin, I have a question (oh, and thanks for helping out with settling that village yesterday!)

    I have a lovely arrangement with QCH2002. I send him resources in the South where he's happy to accept them, and in return he sends my Villages in the North an equal quantity, saving the need for the 13hour merchant trip!
    At the moment I've been keeping it to 1hours production (about 10k of each).

    My question is, would it be illegal to send more? Is pushing defined as the difference in what we send each other?

    Thanks

    no, pushing is defined purely as over 1 hours production to send to a larger member in a day, or 3 hours production per day to send to a smaller member.
    differences etc do not come into effect.

    Does that still count if yer swapping res on a 1:1 basis (which is same as using market surely)??
  • Invisible-MuffinInvisible-Muffin Scotland

    if its via market trades, it is all fine.
    if its just sending resources, i don't think it's allowed.

    I think it's only not allowed if it's a one-way transfer. If they're both trading, it should be fine right?
  • Invisible-MuffinInvisible-Muffin Scotland

    yes, but i'm not sure if one-way transfers mean sending resources as opposed to the official buying.
    it could be ok, but are you sure you want to risk a ban or the contents of your warehouse being removed?

    Me, no, I've a better plan..... Middlemen!!

    Say I wanted to send 3hrs from A to D

    1hr: A to D
    1hr: A to B to D
    1hr: A to C to D

    that's not breaking any rules now surely?

    Having said that, I'm not sure the Multihunters on this server are really on top of their game! I sent a IGM to Multihunter(1) and 4days later it was still unopened.

    nope, thats not against the rules, and it was a plan for us to use that form of transfer if a large resource exchange was taking place (i'm also in charge of transfers in the alliance)

    If a village doesn't have a Hero's Mansion, does that mean any troops present with a hero during an attack, are not benefited from a hero bonus?

    it doesn't mean that

    as long as the hero is yours, its defence bonus benefits all of your troops in that village when its there.
    even if its not your village that it is in.

    sorry mate, can't help you with scripts.

    If I am a sitter can I still send wheat to someone if I am reinforcing their village? i.e.Hawk
  • Invisible-MuffinInvisible-Muffin Scotland
    edited April 2008
    sending wheat to the person you're sitting?
    yes, that is allowed, if you are reinforcing them. but it cannot continue for more than three days and must be done seldomly.

    Greetings mr Muffin Sir, I have a question.

    I swore I'd never buy Gold, but after seeing it in action with Hawks defense, and using the free stuff for the 25% bonuses I quite fancy some.

    My question is, if I bought some now, would I be able to use it once the server resets?
  • HawkHawk Fla Icrontian

    Good question Lambo.
    I'd like to know that too.
    You can also buy small amounts of gold if it can't carry over.
    I bought 600 gold for $30.00 US. Which was quite a bit of gold.
    They have much smaller gold packages though.

    yes, it can be set up that you transfer any purchased gold to your new account.

    on the contrary to what Q says, scouts upgraded in the blacksmith will have zero attack power, so they're no goot in raids, but it increases the likelyhood that they'll survive scouting raids.

    however, most people find it easier to just train more scouts, but if you have spare resources, it'd consider doing it.

    is there a list exactly like this:http://help.travian.com/index.php?type=faq&mod=310

    except for speed severs?
  • Invisible-MuffinInvisible-Muffin Scotland
    edited April 2008
    no, you have to divide times by 3 and times the production by 3 manually...
    if it helps, computers have a built-in calculator :p
  • edited April 2008
    so i just times all the numbers on that by 3?
  • Invisible-MuffinInvisible-Muffin Scotland
    edited April 2008
    the build/research times are divided by 3, production amounts for resource fields are multiplied by 3
  • edited April 2008
    ok i get it now. thanks muffin. :)

    If I destroy my hero's mansion in Cantrellia Prime (to make way for other upgrades) will I lose the oases I have for that village? Also, with the hero's mansion gone, would Cantrellia Prime be able to send the hero into battle or could the hero only act as reinforcement while in Cantrellia Prime?

    Don't you wish we had a few more tiles to build on?

    no, but if you lose them then you won't be able to take them back.

    The highest level requirement of the rally point for any building or troop type that I've seen is level 15. Even catapults can target any building except the cranny at level 10. Are there any benefits for building the rally point to 20?

    level 10-target anything
    level 15-build tournament square
    level 20-when you have 20 or more catapults attacking, you can target 2 things at once.
