Very Helpful Travian Tip-Set Long Term Goals February 6, 2009

I find that one of the most helpful things you can do in Travian is to set goals. Short term goals, won’t really help you, but long term goals can improve your ranking and resource production by a lot.

Examples of Short Term Goals-

That is a goal, but a very weak one. It won’t take you very long to get those 10 Legionnaires, and once you do, they aren’t going to do a lot just by themselves. If you make that goal 300 Legionnaires, that is a long term goal and 300 Legionnaires will come in very handy.

This is better than the first one, but it still isn’t good enough if you want to win. If you’re increasing a resource field from level 5 to level 6, you’ll get 17 more of that resource per hour. This can be helpful at times, but if you want a long term goal it should be much bigger, such as increasing all your resource fields to level 7. That will make huge differences in your military size and resource amount.

This is yet another goal, but one you can accomplish in 5 minutes. A better goal would be to join an alliance, and get your alliance into the top 100 in the server.

Some Examples of “Too Hard” Goals-

There is no way you’re even going to be able to remember all this, let alone do it. If you’re actually going to try all this, take it step by step, and don’t start working on one goal until you’ve finished the previous one.

This is simply just too broad a goal. There are so many elements and factors determining this, and you will need to work on those individual things first.

You have no idea how many troops you will need to defend your wonder of the world when you are building it to level 100. You will have to endure literally sleepless nights, hundreds of attacks each day, and tons of stress thinking all day “Oh no Oh no my wonder of the world might get catapulted to death!”

If you are not Bill gates, go to the next goal. That will be quite expensive in real-life money. Also, once you buy it, there is a no refund policy, and even with all the advantages, you can still have your village(s) catapulted to death… and then you wasted a lot of money. If you’re actually going to do this, buy it week by week, take it very slow. DO NOT buy all the gold you’ll ever need at once.

Some Examples of “Just Right” Goals-

This is a good, ideal amount of troops. They will be able to keep your resources safe against most attackers. Be prepared to replace them though.

This is an expensive, but possible goal. You’ll be able to do this over time, how fast depends on your economy.

Many players don’t have them yet. They are a very useful, slow, and expensive weapon. They are very possible to research and you should definitely research them if you plan to be successful in Travian.

Well, that’s all you need to know about setting good long term goals in Travian.
