+ | ====== Travian - Browser Game ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== INTRO ===== | ||
+ | Well, here we go, my first review. I am not a writer or | ||
+ | a journalist, so don't expect anything wordy or eloquent | ||
+ | & | ||
+ | video games. I am not the best at any game, nor am I the | ||
+ | | ||
+ | the age of 6. I cut my teeth on the Atari with games like | ||
+ | | ||
+ | me, I'm supposed to be talking about | ||
+ | | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | I heard about it on a set of forums I frequent | ||
+ | ( [[http:// | ||
+ | and thought I would check it out. Turned out to be pretty fun. | ||
+ | It was a little slow at first, but after you get a couple of | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Travian is like a RTS in slow motion. You collect and | ||
+ | | ||
+ | amass large armies. The basic point of the game is to collect | ||

+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Travian' | ||
+ | when compared to other online browser games. This article is | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | that are not covered on the help site. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== PROS ===== | ||
+ | ***Support**< | ||
+ | From what I've seen, their support is top notch compared to most. If you include all the 3rd party fan-based support, it's even better. | ||
+ | ***Community**< | ||
+ | Travian has a large following that makes for challenging and entertaining play. | ||
+ | ***Built-in Communication Features**< | ||
+ | There are built-in messaging, alliance comms and forums. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== CONS ===== | ||
+ | ***Gold**< | ||
+ | To compete with the leaders, you have to spend Gold. Gold costs money. Now the game is not FREE. | ||
+ | ***Demanding for some**< | ||
+ | Some people I've talked to found it rather demanding. To be more competitive you need to be checking in throughout the day. Many were expecting a nice relaxing game that you check several times a week. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== SUMMARY ===== | ||
+ | In the scheme of things, Travian is an excellent browser game. My biggest gripe would be the cost (in real money) to buy Gold. I honestly feel it is a little pricey for the game...especially when compared to !WoW or better yet Xbox Live. If you decide to give it a try, don't be afraid to talk to people. | ||
