This week I offer you the SouthEast quadrant with maps and interviews but let us start with the overview table. 6061 players counted and server has now 6737 accounts. Even if I haven’t double checked NE and NW yet I think it is quite correct. As usual I’ve counted alliances down to 5 players.
SouthEast has 1866 players and I have sorted 1664 in alliances, which leaves 202 accounts not assigned.
ML – Marshal Law
The biggest meta in this quad, with players from the former CUP added with Arabs that is the biggest group, 361 players. Numbers to the right are villages. PWR1 don’t exist today, the last two members have been moved to PWR. Most of the Arabs has moved out from center.
PoWeR-FuLL from M.L-PWR
Q. Tell us about yourself Age, gender, work. Where do you live? What do you do when you’re not playing Travian? Have you played the Tournament before?
A. My name is Sultan, and I represent Arabs in ML. I am from Saudi Arabia and my dual is from Kuwait.
I’ve been playing Tournaments for over 6 years.
When I am not playing Travian, I would plan strategies about Travian with my friends
Q. In qualification you played with Uollas. Why did you change to ML?
A. We played in qualification with Uollas to try them before finals. However, things did not workout. We were not appreciated there. Therefore, we decided to create a new coalition that consist of different players from different countries and backgrounds.
Q. You share your quadrant with an Italian meta 400 players and Chinese 200 players. Do you have fights with them? You’re opinion about them?
A. I understand that we have Italians and Chinese in our quadrant. I wanted peace in our quadrant but we were not able to find common grounds. So, we will fight and have a little fun in the area. Many of our players enjoy wars and I guess this would make them happy.
Q. You also have a border to Russians and you are equal in size. How are the border war going?
A. Our border with Russians are a little quite for now. I think the real fight would start on day 51.
Q. Which music do you listen on when you’re playing Travian?
A. I usually spend the time on Discord or watching TV Shows when I play Travian.

Next map is Poland 170 players. They have stayed inside coords 75.
Janek on account drezyna from ML PL3
Q. Tell us about yourself 🙂
Age, gender, work. Where do you live? What do you do when you’re not playing Travian? Have you played the Tournament before?
A. I am 51 years old, I live in Warsaw and work in IT: storage and SAN.
When I don’t play travian, I spent time with my family – wife and 3 children. I like to read a good book.
I play in the Tournament for the third time, with my friends on account. 2 years ago we were building a WW together with Prime, a year ago in the CUP coalition.
Q. Your meta has a different structure than last year and you have changed to ML. What is the biggest difference compared to previous rounds?
A. We wanted to build a new strong international coalition, made up of alliances that played in CUP but also new ones. We chose the name ML – Marshal Law. X3 did not want to agree to change the name and decided to leave us.
Q. You share your quadrant with an Italian meta 400 players and Chinese 200 players. Do you have fights with them? You’re opinion about them?
A. I really regret that the Chinese have decided not to play with us, and that they failed to agree on a joint game with Italy. Both Chinese and Italians have many very good players and our fight with them will certainly be difficult, but I believe in our players.
Q. You also have a border to Russians as last year and you are equal in size. How are the border war going?
A. We are not currently fighting with them.
Q. Which music do you listen on when you’re playing Travian?
A. I don’t listen on music when I play on travian – I listen to what my wife watches on TV 🙂
*******************************************************************
The rest of the ML-meta is from many different countries. Most of them also close to center. 303 players.
**************************************************************************
Italians SE
This meta is half the size of ML, 405 players. Consisting of two groups, Italians 289 players and Hunor/Magor 116 players. Italians have choosen to settle against the NE border except from one alliance that is far out in the boonies. Hugor/Magor have stayed in center.
Simon on account Taequiero from ITÆQUILA
Q. Tell us about yourself 🙂 Age, gender, work. Where do you live? What do you do when you’re not playing Travian? Have you played the Tournament before?
A) Hi to all, I am simone. I am 23 years old, also if often I feel older 😀 I’m a guys, and i I am a private teacher for high school students.
When I am not playing travian I like go to the gym, drink some beer or talk with some of my friends also people meet in game.
Yes I played tournament other times, but it’s my 2° tournament like admin. In the first one I was only a little guys of 17 years old trying to play in his 7×7 😀
Q. Why did you split up with Uollas?
A) We and uollas have never been 1 confederacy. Also in the tournament that we played together we played like 2 confederacy but for 1 unique Meta, so we didn’t split up
Before the finals tournament of 2017 we always played like enemy and in these server too people hate each an other so when we tried to play together like 1 italian meta we had some problem.
Q. You share your quadrant with ML-meta 800 players and a Chinese meta 200 players. Do you have fights with them? You’re opinion about them?
A) I think that they are two interesting group. I know well Poland I shared a border with them and they are really good player in warzone and together with arabs that can do very big hammer in end game. Could be an interesting union.
About China I never met these alliance in finals tournament but I know some of their player I don’t know a lot of things about their leadership, but they are a really interesting account and seems to have very strong players.
It s a very interesting quarter, the only quarter in all the server with several enemy so it will be the quarter with more fun but also the quarter with less possibility to win.
Q. Any reports to share?
A. We lives in a tight area, close to the enemy and fights for oases is tough.
We do our best to clean the area 😀
A) It is close to the enemy China and we have fights about oases.
Q. Which music do you listen on when you’re playing Travian?
A) About music it’s a really interesting question…
I really like different kind of music but we can say that I am a romantic man 😀
My favorite Italian singer is ultimo and my favourite international singer Ed sheeran.
But before of one attack we always put: https://youtu.be/S2Hh6YayzqY
It’s a superstitious.
Safiren: Thanks 🙂 How about the rumors on forum that last nights attacks was synced with Dacia?
Simone: safi 😀
It’s only propaganda. According to these rumors, I contacted the admin of the dacia to coordinate an attack 150 boxes away. Attacks that arrived in 1h and 30 so obviously no defenses from the dacia area would come in time on our target. For now we have no agreement with other Meta in -/+ and for now we are playing in 6 alliances so if we will play together with some other group , I would have no problem admitting it.
We know that in 6 against a lot of enemy will not be so easy but we are hungry and we will play to of course trying to have a lot of fun meanwhile.
******************************************************************
China
The Chinese have divided in two parts in this Final, one in SW and one in SE. 213 players. And as you can see they also have preferred to stay in center. Not astonishing that this area is so crowded and an excellent opportunity to many fights.
Purin from MC
Q. Tell us about yourself Age, gender, work. Where do you live? What do you do when you’re not playing Travian? Have you played the Tournament before?
A. I’m Purin, 31 years old, a housewife a.k.a stay-at-home mom for a four-year-old kid. Taking care of Travian just like taking care of my baby, I spent 24/7 handling everything. It’s my very first time playing Tournament, so I have no idea what coming in the future.
Q. Tell us about your alliance. How long have you played together? Your goal for the server?
A. We are a family. You can call us as a new meta, though some of us have collaborated many times. Members of our family come from many places with different backgrounds and talents. Diversity make us stronger, but discipline make us together. But don’t misunderstand, our organization is flat so anyone could be a leader. The only thing we follow is common sense. “Without rules, we’d live as animals.”
Umm… the goal of this turn? Have fun and play like pros.
Q. You share your quadrant with ML-meta 800 players and an Italian meta 400 players. Do you have fights with them? You’re opinion about them?
A. Wow, ML and IT! There is nothing to say but respect. As a new meta joining Tournament, we try hard to catch up server situations and figure out how to play. However, other players won’t give us a break. They played well and pushed hard. In the response of fierce wars between us and ML/IT, we grow up fast and become prepared. Wish we can have a good game.
Q. You won the qualification in Group A against Turkey. Tell us about it.
A. Awesome. Turkey is a respectful enemy. We did our best and we were lucky, so we won. Our attacking group were beasts, and our defending group were impervious to invasion. From second villages, area control, art crafts, blueprints, and W.W, we experienced a long long journey with sweat and fun. Maybe we will write down this epic war and publish. To everyone involved, my family and our enemies, Cheers.
Q. Which music do you listen on when you’re playing Travian?
A. Listening to music might interrupt my sleeping baby, so I have never tried it before. We usually chat in the group channel, sharing jokes and talking trash. Well, but thanks for mentioning it. Maybe next time I will try to listen to music when playing Travian.
****************************************************************
The last map is alliances not assigned to any meta as far as I can determine. In some cases it was even hard to decide which quad they belongs to. FLB JDN and JDN are the biggest alliances. KUDOS, a turkish alliance, is everywhere and VC changed to NE.
