I think you shouldn't bother. I played it nearly 2 years ago, it takes up far too much time. So unless you are in a boring job which sits you at a computer with internet access (like i was on my year in industry), you shouldn't start. Unless you like the idea of going to sleep one night with a massive army only to find that by the time you've woken up all that effort has gone to waste as some goon who doesn't have a life has wiped out your 500 soldiers with a ridiculously massive army of thousands of Toutens. Or even worse you see the attack coming in with an estimated arrival time of 5am, and you wonder if you should stay up until 3 to send your army on a raid so that none of them get hurt, only to find that your stable gets destroyed, etc. I'm against these time based games.

Never heard of it but from what retroactiv said, it sounds like Tribal wars.

Im one of those guys who has that ridiculous amount of soldiers, right now playing around with about 35000 imperial soldiers 7000 katapults and much more. I was in the wining aliance on the first ever swedish server by the way. Its hard to be a good student when Travian takes up all your time, so I agree if you have a boring Computer based job this is the thing for you =)
if not then keep away. Its the devil I tells ya.
