First of all i would like to tell u that this post is for real active and agressive players who spends about 14-16hrs a day playing Travian, at least 10-12hrs.
Teuton means raid,kill and conquer and thats why Teuton is my favourite tribe and the one I have played always. The reason I like teutons is that it is a very aggressive tribe and it really favours the active player.
Get the rewards
If you play on a server where there is a quest reward system I suggest following that untill you are at the last part of it. That way is quicker than starting out farming right away cause of all the resources it gives you. It actually gives you close to 6000 resources total and farming cannot beat that, since you in either case would have to wait longer before you can start farming with the new rules, not getting the resources from homeland anymore. The last part of the reward system is where you are supposed to extend all fields to level two. . It costs a lot to extend everything to level two and it is much better to put those resources into clubs.
By this post I will like to give some goals you should try to reach before you move on -
1st Day
When your first six clubs are ready you should be raiding and building clubs non stop. Just farm all the villages around you that are low in population with 2-3 clubs each. When players have used the reward system to get a rat as defence you will need 3 clubs to kill it without losses, so send 3 in your first attack. As soon as you get the report you send another raid at them assuming you got max in the previous raid, if not let them rest for some time, the bigger the population the shorter time you let them rest as bigger populations usually means more resource fields built, and thus a quicker production of resources. I think you should aim for about 50 clubs before you start worrying about other farming players out there. If anyone attacks you during this time do not bother attacking them back, just make sure you have all your clubs out and that you have spent all your resources so they get nothing. Make sure, however, that you remember who attacked you and their army size. And remember u will need a cranny at least lvl 3-5 so that u dont lose any resource.
When it comes to the barracks you should increase its level whenever you have a 1-2 hours building que in it. You will need a higher level barracks if you are playing normal server, since building times are three times as long. Granary and warehouse should be upgraded as needed. Better to have them too large than too small.
2nd Day
Now it is time that you take a look around your 7*7 and figure out who else has an raiding army out there. Donot mind the romans and gauls, just look at the teutons for now. Hopefully you will have the biggest army at this point, but you have to use it wisely. You have to destroy your competitors army by attacking them, donot use your clubs to defend with even if you have enough to kill off the attacking force. Your raiding army is yourbread and butter, you need it to raid and grow with, dontt waste them unless you can kill a competitors clubs with it in one attack. The best way to do this in my opinion is to counter attacks made on you. And yes dont forget to train a Hero by now.
When you see an incoming attack on you from another teauton, save up your clubs at home untill 20-30 seconds before they arrive. Then send your clubs out on an attack somewhere, and some seconds before the attack lands cancel your attack so they come back just 1-3 second after your enemy has attacked you. As soon as they arrive home you send them on an attack towards an enemy. If you do this efficiently you can manage to land your attack at your enemy just a couple of seconds after his army returns and maybe catch them all at home if you are lucky. It is only possible when both the players are of the same tribe and u attack
back with same kind of troops, as both are teutons and the troops are clubs.
3rd Day
At 3rd day and having about 80-100 clubs I usually build up my academy and get about 5 scouts. With the scouts you can raid more efficiently and use the first one to find out whether the romans or gauls in my area with high population have troops or not. You can also use them to scout enemy teutons but beware that you most likely dont see their whole army as its usually out on raiding. You should also have at least one scout at home all the time so that you notice scout attempts, which you will increase as you get more scouts.
4th Day
At fourth day if all things go easy u head towards 200 clubs I suggest starting the infrastructure for your first party at ur town centre if you play on a speed server. You only need one party on a speed server to get your second village, and if things work out well you should be able to have this party around day 4. I will advice you to keep building clubs at the same time, but donot increase your barracks level more in this period. After you get the party going start buildingyour residence to level 10 and then settlers. Make sure you never have your settlers at home when you are not there to watch them, it really hurts having one of them killed in an attack. On a speed server you should be able to have a second city on day four as long as you donot face too much trouble with your neighbour teutons.
If you play on a normal speed server, donot mind the party infrastructure untill you reach at least 500 clubs. If you start partying too early you will need 3 of them to get your second city, and you probably wont have enough income to run those 3 right after each other. And there is no use in running one and then having to wait, as you could just as well have waited starting the first one. I usually build the level 10 mainbuilding first, as its cheap, then I put up the level 10 academy, then level 1 townhall and then level 10 residence. After I have done this I just let it stand there and gather culture points for me untill I have a large enough raid income to run the party and build the settlers without much deadtime in between. I usually have about 400-500 clubs at the time I build my second village on a normal server.
A few tips on where to put your second village. If you are using gold and playing on a normal server or even a speed server a 15 cropper is the way to go. A cropper will produce more crop than any other village, so it will be a better base for big armies, so always chose a 15 cropper. If you are playing on a normal server you should also always chose a 15 cropper as its too hard supporting a big army from a 6444 village with normal resource production. Troops eat as much on a normal server, but you production is only one third of speed. When you get your second village on a normal server you should stop producting troops in your first city and build it in your second city, the 15 cropper, instead. Thats why you should not research anything in your first city apart from scouts at this point of time, later spearmen and paladins will be needed to be produced in ur first village.. A 6444 can easily support a pretty big army on speed, so its more up to you there. If you play on speed and donot use gold, you can chose a 6444 if you wish, but at least city number 4 or 5 has to be a 15 cropper. But u wait for too long for getting a cropper, u will not see any cropper left in the middle of
the map and will have go far away in search of cropper.
Settling village 2
When you have got village number two its time for you to start upgrading your resource fields. Dont let your army production stop while doing this though, the army will still be by far your largest income of resources, but getting some resource fields built up now is important too. The less active you are the more important the resource fields are as they keep producing even when you sleep and if somehow ur troops get killed than resource fields will be source of ur resources. Resource fields are more important on the speed server as the production there are 3 times the one you get on a normal server while travel times are only twice as fast. On a normal server raiding is more important and your own production is less important. If you use gold, start with upgrading crop to 5, then clay and wood to 5, and then iron to 4. After this keeping them at the same level is the way to go, apart from running one of each to 10 when you got them all at 7 to get the bonus building. If you donot use gold you have to look at what resource you need the most and upgrade it according to ur use.
By this time as you upgrade resource fields you should go for paladins. This is something you have to evaluate yourself, but the more treaths you have closer to you the quicker you should go for them. I prefer getting paladins before starting to build axes, and if I am in a real easy area I will wait till I have close to 500 clubs.Then Teutonic Knights will be a good option,though u can train them in small quantity only at this point
of time, but if u are an real agressive player teutonic knights will play a decisive role in killing enemy clubs
and even easily break through Roman praets, which clubs find hard to break.
I will not suggest start building axes untill u have at least 600 clubs,50 teutonic knights and about 100 paladins, but its the same rule for this, if you have many threaths close to you, you should get them faster. Its important that you try to get your 14*14 under control now, and you have to use the means necessary. If you start facing too much enemy cavallery you have to start getting the defensive spears too. You canot keep running parties and getting more cities if you canot defend them. As a teuton being the dominant player and keeping your neighbourhood under control is very important. You donot want those romans and gauls getting cavallery, and you donot want other teutons raiding your farms either.
Also by this time try to get some players from ur 21*21 , that can play the role of deff for u..
As a teuton u will always need Roman Praets and Gaul Druids for your protection.
Carry on
On a speed server what you need to do is to keep building your armies as well as having parties going 24/7 in all of your villages. As soon as you get enough culture you willl build a new city. You should chose a 15 cropper as your capital and build a lot of support city around that one. In one of the cities beside it you will have your main army with barracks and stables producing troops 24/7. When you get 15 cities or so around it, you will need great barracks and great stables there as well. At this point you will also get chiefs and start conquering cities instead of building them. Eventually you also start building defense in cities you donot need for offense and work towards end game.
On a normal server you will do the same thing, but the parties are less important, as you wontt have enough production to keep them running in all your cities. Here you will get most of your culture from buildings. Having a high level embassy in all your cities is real nice for this. The embassy trick is usefull in speed servers too. I like having the capital as my army base in normal servers, as I cannot really support 24/7 production in great barracks and stables on this type of servers unless I have like 40 cities or so
And as u carry on like this u will be qite big till sever end.
