Hey all. There's a browser game (no local software needed) called Travian that people on some other brewing forums are joining and we're all going to take over the world! Check it out at <a href="http://travian.us">travian.us</a> and we're all on server 1.

And if you join using this <a href="http://www.travian.us/?uc=us1_50901">link</a>, I get a little bonus. Also you can check out a very involved thread on B3's forum <a href="http://forums.moreflavor.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=28275">here</a>.

Oh and if you do join, post your village name and coordinates here or on the B3 forum (or both) so you won't get accidentally attacked. :icon_thumleft:

I'm at 188, -32.

:icon_thumright:


::edit::

Uh-oh, it looks like gbobeck and I are the only ones from your Brew list in this quadrant of the map! :confused2: Would it be better to restart and try to get closer to the rest of you or does it really matter? Also, how can we join your alliance?

Deleting and restarting is always an option. The "Brew" alliance is sadly positioned all over the place. The closest guy to me is several hours hike away...

To join the alliance, send a message (using the in-game message thing) to "kooter" (no quotes). He's the poobah of admissions. :) There's a shortage of space though, so there might be a second alliance starting up at some point as well.

If you do restart and wind up near me, I'm at the point where I can start sending resources to help start you up. Yay free stuff! Other guys are also being really generous with the startup funds.

Also we've got some agreements with other folks, so you might be near them and in that case have less to worry about your neighbors (potentially). They are: Legends, ~UV~,*NS*-69, CHAOS, and Legacy.

Did someone start a village called "DaWitchesBrew" or something? Can you send a message to kooter to let him know where you're at? There's some question about who you are.... ???

Yeah that's my wife. I forgot to use your link when I registered, so I got her to use it when she signed up to help you out. She's actually doing better than I am, but she's also got alot of large 300+ population villages all around her too so that's kind of scary. I'm trying to convince her to restart and move into the newbie neighborhood that I'm in, but she's stubborn....

Hehe, well I convinced the brew guys from B3 that's she's a friendly, so hopefully they'll help out too. A little far from me, but there are some guys within a few squares of her I think.

Also, there is a special forum just for the brew folks on Travian. We are such dorks!
<a href="http://brewersguild.freeforums.org/">http://brewersguild.freeforums.org/</a>
You have to sign up and then wait for a confirmation email, which is handled manually. This is to make sure we don't get any spies checking in on us. Hahaha. You don't have to be a member of the group in-game to join the forum, so this way we can all chat and hatch plots together.

Name of course is Launcelot. Town: Camelot...

I have built up quite a bit, but still have not raided, just playing defensively until I can allay somewhere...

Lance, you should register on server 6 as well. That server started more recently and has a little more of a level playing field. All of us Brewers are located in the SW quadrant of that server so it makes it easier for us to help each other out.

I will do so tonight.

I still can't register on the other forums though. Not sure why it won't let me.

There's a manual approval, maybe it just hasn't been processed yet. I put up a message saying you were coming, hopefully that helps.
