Travian 3.5 and WW Levels (Copy & Paste-fest)
Evening chaps and possibly a chappette or two. So, seemingly they're updating Travian! They're drip-releasing details, but this is what it says on the main travian forum so far:
:
Hi there,
as T4 will take long and we wanted to introduce new stuff to Travian (while T4 was more of a technical base change) we created T3.5 as something between.
Yesterday this was announcend on the DE Forum, with .org being the first server having it from beginning of February on.
Features in Travian 3.5:
- new buildings
- Artifacts (Challenge for the Midgame)
- additional Ressourcefieldcombination
- new icons/buttons
- more comfortable Map
Additionally planned features (will come later)
- more Statistics
- more Comfort- and SummaryFunctions
The new buildings in T3.5
Dear players,
as promised in the announcement about T3.5 we want to inform you about upcoming features occasionally until launch day.
We will start with the new buildings. There will be three new buildings. The first being the Brewery (which probably all of you have seen in the FAQ at some point). The next one is the Trapper. This one by itself is also nothing new, however, it will be improved and upgraded. The last building in this line is the Horse watering Place.
This building is also the one we want to give you a few more details about.
The Horse watering Place
What does the Horse watering Place do?
The Horse watering Place decreases the training time of cavalry and decreases the upkeep of these troops as well.
Characteristics of the Horse watering Place
Full Details on what the single Features are will follow soon, and be posted here.
Assuming the Test on .org is good, ALL new servers will get T3.5, and ALL Servers started in 2009 will get it too (only the ressourcefield thing can not be added afterwards, as the Map is generated at servers beginning).
Artifacts will be tested on a german server too real soon, so we can make sure they will work as intended.
We will keep you update.
20/01/2009 update
Dear players, I can today announce to you another part of the T3.5 update.
New combinations for resource tiles:
• 3-4-4-7
• 3-5-4-6
• 4-3-4-7
• 4-3-5-6
• 4-4-3-7
• 5-4-3-6
(For those thinking this is a joke, check other domains, they will be posting this.)
And, the WW's a ploughing ahead nicely, shouldn't be too long now as T4 will take long and we wanted to introduce new stuff to Travian (while T4 was more of a technical base change) we created T3.5 as something between.

From where I sit (population 23), it's been a pretty good WW-race (as End Games go at least):
LEG went for 2 WW's, with Promicin taking one, and Filfungi (LEG NW) going for the other. QCBER (Tullia and co) had a spy in LEG NW, and managed to steal the WW after LEG NW cleared it and built a palace. LEG NW then cata'd the Village to hell trying to hit the non-existant residence! Foxi took a WW then deleted straight away, WW disappeared
Kino took 4 WW's and together with Promicin and A2N ("AwSoM" alliance- Parisii) raced into the lead when the plans (eventually) came out. Leg had a hammer-party one night and knocked all the Kino back 10-20 levels each and did some damage to A2N too, Promicin leads, Filfungi in 2nd! Infinity finally start building...
The inevitable happens, and ALL the non-LEG Alliances gang up on Promicin. Six or seven big hits and Prom's lost his Great Granaries meaning he's over 10million defence troops, one damaged basic granary... things start to starve! Filfungi leads on Lvl 70, Drunk Cherry, now the "main" WW for Kino in 2nd and Infinity, who no-one's paying attention to essentially 3rd and 4th.
Filfungi stalls at 70, looks like he never had the storage to do more and he takes a few hits too. One of the Kino WW's lose their plans (careless). Infinity plod along, no-one paying much attention. Drunk Cherry of Kino goes into the lead, Infinity 2nd, A2N 3rd.
LEG NW split from LEG to become DOW (Dogs Of War) taking 8 wings with them. Story goes that even though LEG NW were WAY in the lead, Promicin refused to move troops to that WW, as he wanted to win for himself.
Today: Filfungi (DOW) and Promicin start making up ground on the leaders... A2N (AwSoM) overtakes Infinity. Altogether, probably looking at 35+ WW-Hammer attacks so far, every player and their dog built one this server, and I'd guess there's still a few to come!

A2N had a Lvl 100 WW queued... and got hit by Kino and knocked back to 96, has to hurt! Crap Server... Great Endgame seems to be the general agreement on the forum.
It may have had the name ARRSE, but it was nothing like ARRSE. It contained a handful of proper ARRSE people, but the majority were in a different alliance called GHSC (including all of its original leadership who, whilst taking a more relaxed approach to the server, were unable to abide the recruitment of idiots, farms and the crazy CP policies adopted).
without myself taking out the main building in the WW because of someone had a great idea of building crannies in there and then using the main building to destroy it from within and a big cheer must certainly go to slayer eire for taking the plans (although somebody thought both were DV achievements).
and a BIG HIGH 5 to SV for keeping me sane throughout all the turbulance and upheavel because i came close a few times to quitting.
(note to myself never take on a role in the command again and steer clear of any offers of doing so and leave it to those that DO know what they are doing)
