Question about Bonuses ?

CassandraMello — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:04:53 GMT

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew offhand what happens when you have a grain mill and already have a 25% bonus and you add a 50% wheat oasis? Does the bonus combine, is it separate but both based on the base level or does one not count when you have the other? If they cancel out I'll annex another oasis but I'm just trying to consider which will be more valuable. Also, has anyone seen a resource online that tells you approximately how many troops you need to kill specific animals?

9 Cropper 15 Cropper Oasis Bonuses Distance Whats most important?

CassandraMello — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 09:32:08 GMT

Considering a village to make my third and I want an offensive army base where I plan to build my main army, in your opinion what is most important, distance to your capital, oasis bonus amount or # cropper? or combination. There is a 9c 75% oasis bonus 8 blocks away from me I'm thinking of and a 15c 100% oasis bonus 11 blocks away.
Thanks for your time!

Farms - Are they generally thought of as exclusive? Let me know what you think

CassandraMello — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:56:54 GMT

Hey all, I was wondering what people thought about farming... Will you farm a village that is already being farmed by another member? Is it share and share alike or do you usually think twice, is it okay if it is from same alliance member or someone from different alliance? Just wanted to get some feelers as I know I usually won't farm a village if I see someone else farming regularly but as many of my farms disappear (inactive users) I may see the need to branch out to farms further away? ...

My first village

ickey — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 20:23:31 GMT

When you start a second village is it better to go for a 9 cropper around some friendlier players but still 8 blocks from home or a 15 cropper closer to enemies but still 8 blocks from home. I am working on my third setteler and trying to figure this out.

Natars, Endgame, and You This is meant to inform our members of endgame and how it works. All information is taken from the Travain FAQ and is relayed as accurately as possible.

They will spawn at various points on the map (listed later), and we need to be ready for them. While their ...
