Really sorry, but maybe you should have read some of the 126 page thread, the review has missed the whole concept of the endgame.

Other than that I do agree with the rest of the review and according to which server you choose you can manage the speed thing a bit.

In the end it can start to take over your life more in terms of being desperate to get online at the correct times.

Good review on the whole but as DP says, the speed factor can be partially overcome by using the Speed server. It is a great game for logging on to a couple of times a day to add some build orders. Only when you are in a full scale war or have loads of villages does it suck up a lot of your time.

There was a good piece on some of the good / bad points of this on Rock Paper Shotgun... take a look.

PS I don't work for them, really... I just remember it being good... cant find the link though

I am boycotting this game because the adverts say "War is comming!". If you cannot spell a word that simple, my confidence in your game is not going to be high.

The first game that actually fits my lifestyle!! If you love gaming but find it difficult to find any meaningful time in front of the TV try this.

Ah, Travian, probably my favorite browser-based game and I went through quite a lot of them. I played a total of three or four eras (rounds) mostly on the original .org server and the .de1 one... I was even in a clan that was part of the winning alliance in one of the .org eras. :-D

Yeah, a really good way to waste time, really. Still, could be a lot better and I hope an even better web-based 'God game' comes out one of these days.

Meinen deutsche ist nicht so gut, aber gesamtschule war eine grosse zeit passiert. =P

(profuse apologies to any competent speakers of German reading this, but at least I'm making an effort, and British people actually trying to speak foreign languages are not that common. Most of my German seems to have been shoved out as Japanese has been shoved in. If it were my job to do this you can be damn sure I'd do it properly.)

You may have sitters while you are still active.
You may have a dual account, meaning that multiple people share the same account. This is okay as long as none of those people have or play another account on the same server.

Unless your playing as a team its pointless to play the game the top players are all teams
The advantage of spending real world money ends up pointless unless you plan to spend hundreds of dollars as the others playing as a team does not run out of their advantage

Morally this game is bankrupt
