How to calculate when you will have enough resources to build something-without Travian Plus January 14, 2009

There are 2 ways to do this.

#1. Current Resources minus resources needed (450 Lumber minus 700 Lumber, 250 Clay minus 500 Clay, etc.)
If you get a positive number, that means you have enough of that resource.
If you get a negative number, that means you need more. So then you take your hourly production of that resource and multiply it by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on until you have barely enough resources. Then, that is how many hours you’ll need to wait. Also, if you raid and trade you won’t have to wait as long. Also, say you need to wait 5 hours for clay, but 7 hours for lumber. You will need to wait for 7 hours, because you won’t have enough lumber after 5 hours.

#2. It is actually a lot simpler than it seems, but if you incorrectly complete or don’t do one step, it will mess you up.

1. Get a Pen/Pencil, paper, and a Calculator, you’ll need it.
2. Write down the amount lumber, clay, iron, and crop you need to build whatever you need.
Example-
500 Lumber
650 Clay
300 Iron
100 Crop

3. Write down your resource production per hour
Example-
Lumber-25 per hour
Clay-30 per hour
Iron-20 per hour
Crop-17 per hour

4. Write down the amount of resources you already have.
Example-
200 Lumber
300 Clay
79 Iron
15 Crop

5. This is the most important step. If it helps, make a chart like I did. I used Microsoft Excel by the way. If you don’t have Microsoft Excel, just draw one on a sheet of paper.

Make the same graph, but add your own data in. The data used here is only an example.

6. Keep going until you have enough of all resources. Find out however many hours it takes, then go on in that many hours! If you get good at doing this it only takes about 10 minutes to do.
