Tribal Wars is a free web-based strategy game that is comprised of individuals in different tribes. Every individual is entitled of a single village at start. The player must grow that village until he is able to conquer another. He must balance the resources, train defensive and offensive troops, etc. He can organize his own tribe or join an existing tribe. Tribes can declare war with other tribes or be allied to them.
During the period of MMORPG, browser-based games started to pop. At first, I thought I won’t be playing Tribal Wars for long due to its being web-based and not being real-time. But guess what, this is my fifth month playing Tribal Wars and I’m still enjoying it!
Here is an image of a fully upgraded village:
Here is the map for a sector in a single continent:
The images are good as well as the interface. They have a Premium Account program which a player could purchase and gives more advanced and easy-to-use buttons and links.
I haven’t purchased a premium account because I am satisfied with the standard interface. You might want to try it and see if you will get hooked too.




hi,
im also hooked on tribal wars and have only had it a month!
what world are you on and what is your name?
Hi turtleboy,
My nick there is Astig and I play in these worlds:
Just curious but are you a Filipino?
anyway, I started playing TW for a couple of months now but most of the time I don’t have the time to play it full-time. I do agree that it’s a very great system.
okay. I have not been reading. You are a Filipino.
Yes I am a Filipino. Pinoy na pinoy!
when did the browser game tribal wars started?
and
which is more better travian or tribal wars?
I think TW started sometime in the first quarter of 2006 but I am not sure.
About Travian, I have a tribe mate who were used to play it but left and play TW instead so I guess he liked TW more.
thx for a quick reply…hehe…
Im a Filipino too ^^…Im a newbie here in TW and can you please give me a tip for beginners like me to start a successful village… hehe
Salamat po ulet kuya Jonathan…^^
You guys think you’re hooked.

Welcome to my realm…
Now…i’m hooked.
You guys are getting there though.
Hang on, Astig, CMFAM’s killing ME right now aren’t we?
jeps, I think the best way to learn the game is thru experience. But I will advise you to play defensively since you are just starting. Upgrade your walls to 20, train as many swords and spears as you can, maxout your Farm so you can produce maximum troops.
Daniel, yes CMFAM is attacking and nobling the inactive members of ME. They surrendered attacking my villages because they can’t even put a scratch on my walls

And also, I am the one who triggered the war when I took a village from a CMFAM member. I am bored without war so I started one. LOL. Now my tribemates are suffering because of that. But I wonder why CMFAM attack other villages when they should be attacking mine

i play on all worlds but my main is world 3 and i am a cult member
I started playing this game about 3 weeks ago and I love it. The thing I dont understand is how people advance so fast in points. I think I’m doing a good job (I farm, build troops, upgrade the village), but there is people making more points than me and that leaves me puzzled as to how. I am online all the time. Oh well, one day I’ll learn… it’s a great game. Knock on wood, none has attacked me so far.
Hello, I just joined tribal wars yesterday how do you get people to come to your village?

My name is Walkernotrunner
Hi i’m Roy and i have been playing TW for over 1 year now, i only play on worlds 1, 2, 9 and 10 but i did play on all the worlds once lol.
Anyway my favourite world is world 2 which i have almost 900,000 points on, world 1 is not very good as i’m alway’s been attacked lol, world 9 and 10 i’m small on with 1 village both under 1000 points.
I might start to injoy world 10 more than world 2 soon though as its much faster than world 2 in fact its the fastest world apart from the speed server that is.
Anyway for those who are new to the game, i suggest reading this thread as there are some very good tips been handed out, my own tip for new player’s is simple and very important not only for the start but for later on in the game.
When you 1st start depending on which world you join your points will be anything up to 116 points which isn’t much and so many people make the mistake of thinking they will not be attacked which is not true.
In order to survive you need troops asap, and those who are looking to attack people and creat what is called a farm (someone they attack just for the resources) the attacker will look at how many points you have along with how many points the serounding villages have, by doing this they can see who is upgrading there buildings and not training troops, then the attacker if they have any will scout the village(s) they think have not got many troops.
If they see the village is weak then that village and any others like it will become there farms, to aviod this happening to you is to train troops. In most worlds you start with a 5 day newbie protection which means no one can attack you ontill the 5 day’s is up, bare in mind though 5 day’s is not very long so you will have to spend your resources carefully. And this is how some people tend to use there resources.
Upgrade the resource mines as this is the way forward and with small resource mines you are not going to be able to do much, so for the 1st 4 day’s focus on the following buildings.
Village HQ, upgrade to level 3.
Wood Camp, upgrade as much as possible.
Clay Pit, upgrade as much as possible.
Iron Mine, upgrade a few levels but never upgrade to the same level as the other mines.
Farm, upgrade to level 2 or 3.
Warehouse, upgrade to level 3 or 4 depending on the level of your resources mines.
By doing that you are ok and should be easily ready to train troops, if however there are any abandened villages nearbye which are show as grey dats or grey villages depending on which map view your looking at, if there are any abandened villages nearbye then build your barracks asap and start training your spearmen, when you have at least 20 spearmen start attacking the abandened villages, doing this will increase your building abilites much more and enable you to out grow a few other people in your area.
If however there are no abandened villages near you then on day 5 build your barracks and start training troops, spend every resources you make throughout the day on troops and nothing else no matter how tempted you may be.
Day 6, the nowbie protection has ended and its time to start looking out for attacks and attacking those you think don’t have troops, remember if you loose all your troops then you are open to been farmed so be careful who you attack.
Hope that helps you out, good luck and best wishes
Roy.
Hey I play on world 8 join NIC its awesome!!!
Just started… Playing on world 10.. Looks good so far, already paid for the premium account so I guess I’m hooked.

Hey I am on world 7 name: Manbearpigman
I need to know what do you have to have to get a nobleman?
Strongly recommended to build these before any troops.
Timber Camp Level 10 (18 villagers) (31points)
Clay Pit Level 10 (33 villagers) (31points)
Iron Mine Level 9 (35 villagers) (26points)
Village HQ Level 5 (09 villagers) (21points)
Warehouse Level 10 (00 villagers) (31points)
Wall Level 5 (09 villagers) (17points)
Farm Level 4 (00 villagers) (09points)
Market Level 3 (27 villagers) (14points)
Barracks Level 3 (10 villagers) (23points)
Hiding Place Level 5 (04 villagers) (10points)
Rally Point Level 1 (00 villagers) (0points)
Statue Level 1 (10 villagers) (24points)
Smithy Level 1 (20 villagers) (19points)
Total (155 villagers) (256points)
Farm:
Free Space = 155/386 = 231
Your New stats
Wood 175 per Hour
Clay 175 per Hour
Iron 151 per Hour
155/386 villagers
Wood XXX Clay XXX Iron XXX Warehouse 6420
Wait for warehouse to get full
Go barracks you should see that you can make 128 spears or 91 swords if researched.
Make 125 swords and keep the rest resources.
It should take about 14-12 hours for them to get all finished.
—————————-
You must upgrade warehouse lvl 15 and farm lvl 23 on the way.
————————
Continue upgrading only resources and building 100 spear and 100 swords
When you reach all resources level 15 build another 250 spears and 200 swords then continue adding 150 spears and 150 swords every level you upgrade all the resources
After making Wood, Clay LVL 24 and Iron LVL23 you should have about 1675 spears and 1675 swords. This is a very good defense for you at the moment.
So now your new stats are
Wood 1454 per Hour
Clay 1454 per Hour
Iron 1250 per Hour
Warehouse 18037
Farm 7679/7896
Points 2719
You now have very good resource production and many points with practically no buildings.
You have 1675 spears and 1675 swords which would make it very difficult to fight with.
And you are ready to begin building up an academy
Build 1000 axemen and get stable built.
Build 750 heavy cav and 500 light cav
Build also 600 scouts
Build Smithy Level 20 and hq level 20 Market lvl 15 and begin getting nobles you should get more then 3.
Send all scouts to the village you want to noble and see report
If he has level 20 wall it would be better that you destroy it so send a couple of rams and cats all on wall and demolish it
As soon as you receive report send 1675 spears, 1675 swords, 1000 axemen, 750 heavy cav, 500 light cav, paladin and noble.
You should have this village in five attacks or less.
After you get your first village send all your defensive troops to him if he is good with many points about 5000. After your troops arrive
Rename him D village and yours O village ( you can just change it mentally) get a couple of other villages and you are invincible.
Build some more troops
This tactic might take you weeks but rest assurd that it is invincible if you have no immediate threats near you
—————————————————————–
Best number of units
Less then 150
Concentrate mostly in getting resources
25 spear
25 sword
150-300
100 spear
100 sword
75 axe
25 archers
25 scouts
300-500
250 spear
250 sword
250 axe
100 archers
50 scout
500-1000
500 spear
500 sword
250 axe
250 archers
200 scouts
100 light cav
50 heavy cav
10 mounted archers
50 rams
50 cats
1000-2000
750 spear
750 sword
750 axe
750 archers
500 scouts
250 light cav
100 heavy cav
50 mounted archers
150 rams
500 cats
2000-3000
1250 spear
1250 sword
750 scout
500 light cav
400 heavy cav
250 mounted archer
350 rams
1200 cats
More than one village
First you should decide to split the two villages between Offensive Village, Defensive Village and Quick Support. Then you should build these units in:
Offensive Village
200 spears
200 swords
1500 axe
1500 arch
700 scouts
750 light cav
250 heavy cav
500 mounted archers
350 rams
1200 cats
Defensive Village
2000 spears
2000 swords
200 axe
500 arch
700 scouts
50 light cav
200 heavy cav
50 mounted archers
0 rams
150 cats
Quick support
1000 scouts
500 heavy cavalry
This is surely the best tactic in troops
PS: Rams 334 and Cats 1175 because 334 rams destroy Wall Level 20 and 1175 cats destroy any building level 30
So this is the best and most economic number of rams and catapults
Obviously you should have some more incase of losses

i now have 20000 points on world 5. woohoo!!!! i also have two nobles, and am making one currently!
Hi! I play in World 6. I already played 3 weeks and now I’ve got 2.389 points. An advice, the quickest way to get resources is to attack a player with a big Warehouse. Scout, and attack after scouting if you think that will be favorable for you.
That’s all. Good luck an Have fun.

Have any of you guys ‘found’ special weapons for your paladin? Are they of any real value, or just for fun? I am 77% towards finding one, but don’t want to attack with my paladin too much as he seems to be the first one to die all the time.
Additionally, at a certain Village HQ level, you are able to destroy buildings. I assumed that meant your enemys’ buildings, until I attained that level and I saw that it is for demolishing your OWN buildings. I can only see two reasons to do this: laying waste to a village you have just taken over but know you will not be able to hold, and maybe to lower the people requirements of certain buildings so that you can have more fighting units (if you ever max out the number of villagers your farms allow). Neither of these seems to be too useful, so is there any other reason you would want to demolish your own buildings?
ok im on world 13 there is this guy that keps atcking me and distroing my wall and farm and taks about 15000 resorsis from me his name is like grifin somthing pleas help

Mounted Archers
*Good attacking unit, good against Spear Fighters and Archers, and Fast unit like LC. Mounted Archers + Light Cavalry makes a best raiding troops.
*Bad as defending unit.
Archers
*Great Defending unit, good against Spear Fighters, Swordsmen, Light and Heavy Cavalry. Only way to beat them is using Mounted Archers. With Swordsmen they make unbeatable defensive unit.
*Expensive, but very good unit for rich players.
