First half of the server is always the most intense part for my Corner with maps and leader interviews.
I hope that this reviews have given you a good view of the server and that you feel that you have an understanding of what is happening. I also hope that all this interviews makes the game more interesting now when you know a little more about your opponents.
This week I had to do a review of both SouthWest and NorthWest because I have been allowed to take a rest from Corner and blog between Christmas and 7 January so no Corner next two weeks. When I’m back it is time for artefacts, so only chance to cover the two remaining quadrants is in this edition.
I will be around of course, keeping an eye on what is happening, gathering reports and Top 10, talking on skype. But mainly it’s time for family and friends. I look forward to New Year when my crazy computer group ACGG will spend the weekend in the cellar on my work 😀 Registration was closed 25 minutes after opening, maximum 35 participants was reached.
Yesterday I remembered that last year I had only scouts so I had problem to send greetings, so I realized that it was stupid to kill my troops from adventures on oases now…
I have begin to wonder if I might need some def help when the server ends. Miko isn’t the first one that have promised to pay me a real visit by then (scared)(laughing)
It have been a lot more talking about cheating this year. Maybe not so strange since Travian have made a big effort to give us a fair game. At this point I think that all nations have accused each other and all think they are unfairly treated. It might be so and it might not.
I have only one thing to say in this matter: Clean your own ranks before you accuse others!
New Years truce
On com there is no Christmas truce but instead we have a 72h long truce for New Year. No starving for 24h after truce end. Remember that you have to log in on your account before truce ends or your troops might starve because account haven’t been active!
Starts Dec 30th at – starts earliest at 12:00 noon UTC London time
Ends Jan 2nd at – ends latest at 12:01 noon UTC London time
If you need somewhere to park, my account is available 🙂
Player profile
Several have noticed me about this players profile and asked me to do an interview so I asked and arzt kindly responded.
1. SouthWest is a very interesting quadrant with two strong metas. One old, BAD/Cerber, and one coming back, SPQR, partly new to Tournament. Your opinion about them?
2. Where do you expect the hardest fight to be (inside quad or on borders with SE or NW)?
3. What do you think about the other quadrants? Where will the most interesting war be?
4. Tell us about your alliance, style, history your alliance and target on this server 5. Tell us about yourself. How long have you been leader? Name,gender, age, work,hobby
6: Share a song with us 🙂
arzt, winner of the Tournament 2012
1. I do not see significant success in both coalitions.
In my opinion, BAD are weak and poorly organized. Unfortunately those reports I saw say about the low quality of the organization. The Italian team has a little more success.
2. The hardest fight will be inside quad. I think that this quad will become one of the most bloody, as a result of which both coalitions will have low chances in WW-race. As a result of the war with the BAD|Cerber Italian team has no chances to build WW and they will support the Dacia’s WW.
Reports with [VODKA] Bingo Bongo show us that Dacia created best off operation.
3. The most interesting quads are certainly NW with Dacia and I hope SE with PL&PRIME. Maybe winner will be from NW or SE.
4. I’m independent and alone here. Just as observer and returned to look at modern youth. It’s time for new generations. I hope PRIME will show good result.
Of course, I’m in contact with the leaders of different teams. Some of them are my friends for many years, for example Emerik (Teutonic Steel).
5. I created MightyRU and it was unique independent alliance for .com zone.
TT2010/11 and TT2011/12 – I was head of RU-team with Krios, Mega and Imbalance.
TT2012/13 – MightyRU was independent against all and played for fun. And was unique small alliance with own WW.
My pre-TT history with MightyRU and many personal info you can read on forum (russian dept.)
6. Metallica – Master of Puppets
