Phew!

There's loads of small guys nearby me actually (2-20 pop). I can't wait to get a raiding party together as it should be easy money.

Few days off that yet though I think :D
 
Yeah I've been raiding the fellas around you. A lot seem to be inactive accounts because I'm walking away with 800 of each resources some raids.

Sniffy - Is your travian alias bower? (I can see bower and touch nearby me, both listed as ~OcUK~ alliance)

Yep he is.
Watchout for him, he'll raid you without a second thought! :p
 
We've got this area locked down :D

I'm just building up my resources at the moment. At what sort of level of resource production do I need to be before I start building up my main building and go for Crannie, Barracks etc?

/EDIT These are my current levels:

Production:
Wood: 30 per hour
Clay: 35 per hour
Iron: 21 per hour
Wheat: 13 per hour
 
People generally recommend to start building crannies etc once all your resource fields are level 2. You might want to leave building an army a little later though. Only teutons can spam an army effectively at the beginning.

We do have a reasonably strong hold in there, just need to keep an eye out for Scar2.

No problem.

That's just the general consenus, depends on your situation really. Some could argue to build an army as you have an alliance behind you (mainly me and touch atm) plus there aren't any major threats in the area.

I personally only have wheat fields and a couple of wood cutters built. I earn my resources from raiding. I find it better as it firstly gives you a better start which seems to snowball (get troops out, get more resources from raids so you get more troops out...). Secondly, if you spend all your resources and send all your troops on a long journey before you log off for the night, you're pretty much worthless raiding. They don't get any resources nor kill any troops. You're only open to getting catapaulted which won't happen for a while. Hopefully by then you have a healthy defense too.

Something to consider ;)

A word of warning tho'. Raiding is very good, it brings in loads of resources, but one attack on you could wipe out all your troops, most of your resources and leave you stuck. Always make sure you have some income from your fields.
 
Inbound bad guys!!

Got 6 hours until this guy "ELITE SELFISH GOD (-5|-37)" kicks down the front door!

do i fight or hide?

I got: 1 hero axeman
10 axeman
15 maceman
26 spearman

Also a level 3 wall.

I Think he's sending maceman, judging by the ETA. but how many is anyones guess. he has a pop of 243.
 
What's why I always keep my troops active (even more so when I'm asleep). If you use scouts, you can make sure you never send your attack force to their deaths. If I'm picking my fights and my army is hardly ever at my village, I can build up a heathly army without fear of it getting butchered. There isn't a village in my area which could send a reasonable attack force to me so I only have to worry about villages far away. If that's the case, I have loads of prior warning to get my troops out the village and spend my resources :)

It's certainly a risky venture but if you're active, I believe it pays off. It's all or nothing though.

Goose - Assuming you get a report of his troop numbers when his does attack (I'm not entirely sure about this, I've only been attacked one and I had scouts at my village then), I would personally:

-wait til the last 30 seconds
- send your troops to any enemy village
- once the attack is over, quickly cancel your attack on the enemy village
- Check out the report. If he has a large army, keep your army active and your resources low
- If he only has a few (unlikely with a pop like that), simulate the battle and if you win, GO 'AV 'IM!!!
