Travian - 28th July

I'm sure a lot of net surfers would've noticed that there's a browser game that's posted everywhere and the advertising is found in almost a high majority of the sites on the Internet, which is called 'TRAVIAN'. All I just want to say is this:- Forget it, it's just too over-hyped. It's adverts claims it too be fun and engaging. It claims that it is about action, war and strategy. They should have said:- Join now and give other players some free resources!

Although you're given 14 days of new player immunity, but after that, you can say goodbye to your 'city'. Villages with vast amount of citizens show that they've been playing for long and sometimes, right after your immunity period, they come and attack you with the amount of soldiers that you couldn't have possible made within the timeframe to defeat them, and the thing is they'll also loot you of your resources. Meaning that, not only will the other player crush your army but also take away all your timber, iron, clay and food which equals to total obliteration. Rising back up will be utterly impossible as the other player will have so much enjoyment over the first attack that the second attack or third is imminent. IN SHORT:- Once you're attacked by a larger city: You can literally delete your account.



In summary, my score for this game is: 2/10
Gameplay: 3/10 -
Quite interesting, but slow and not as claimed. Furthermore, the 'balance' is not there. larger cities attack smaller cities multiple times that it's almost impossible to rise again.
Graphics: 6/10 -
Simple but conveys information well, although there's room for improvement.

My advice: Stay away from this game. The 14 days of immunity maybe quite addictive but it's not heaven after the immunity period.
