Tribal Wars Tips

There are many guides available for playing this game. I tried following a few guides, but finally found out that it was not at all helping. Here are a few tips that may aid you in progressing better.

1. Continuously upgrade Timber, Clay, Iron, Farm and Warehouse continuously in proportion.
2. Always keep recruiting units from barracks and stables. 10 of each unit is sufficient at a time. Try avoiding queuing up units in barracks or stable as they lock your resources.
3. Keep farming near by barbarian villages and bonus villages. The resources they bring in are very useful.
3. Always try to be in a strong tribe. Never hesitate to hop to a strong tribe.
4. Keep in mind your neighbors while deciding on your strategy. If you have a strong player in your 16 x 16 map, keep building defensive troops. Keep your points at a moderate level. If your points are too low, you will be farmed. If your points are too high, you will be nobled.
5. Avoid nobling a barbarian or bonus village. They are the best farms. Also, avoid nobling a village near a strong player, they are his farms.

Well, these are some tips, hope you find them useful. Enjoy playing.

Map of World 19

Here is the map of top 7 tribes from world 19. Notice a gap in K55.


I am stuck in the middle of the pink. Anyways, cruising towards 100k points :D

Tribal Wars World 22

Well, this is the map for world 22 that shows the positions of villages of top 10 tribes a week ago.

The World started off at the south-east corner of K44. What really baffled me was why there were so few players in K44 and K45, where the world actually began, where there were older players. Well, the reason for absence is the war that broke out in a couple of weeks between 2 tribes.

Initially, when the world began, the 4 continents were dominated by a family of tribes viz. Eagles of War (K44), Wolves of War (K45), Phoenix of War (K54) and Wolves of War (K55). I was in Wolves of War. They were number 1 tribe in their own continents and their world ranking was:
1. Wolves of War
2. Eagles of War
4. Ravens of War
7. Phoenix of War

But in some days, suddenly, Ravens of War disbanded. We were dumbfounded because we were going strong, and if that tribe any problems, they didn't inform us. The players had joined other tribe. In 3-4 days, Phoenix of War suffered the same fate. After a weeks time, out tribe and Eagles of War was also disbanded.

Soon the picture became clear. The duke of our tribe was traitor and had betrayed us. The founder of our tribe took some quick measures and found a new tribe Ares of God, and selected top 50 players from Eagles of War and Wolves of War. And we went to war.

When the world was started and we were going strong, another tribe 6 A. M. had emerged. It was a tribe of few members (6, ours was of 95) with average points of 500. (Our average points were 100) They were not even in top 50. But as it turned out, the tribe had more than 60 members, with all its members spread among various tribes. The members of this tribe stayed in the tribe, assumed important positions, and then without notice, disband the tribe. By the time we went to war with 6 A. M., it had about 80 members with strong army and whole world as its enemy.

6 A. M. found it hard to defend itself from our Ares, but we too had to pay the price. As a result, there are not many members in K44 and K45 from top 10 tribes. (Well, I am to the south-east of K45) 6 A. M. eventually disbanded and formed a new tribe CDIS. I also left Ares and joined Ticket for better prospects. Currently the ranking of Ares, CDIS and Ticket is

5. Ticket
15. Ares
333. CDIS (Another surprise, such a great fall!!)

Well, right now, everything is going fine. I am ranked 770 (mind you, there are 50,000+ players) and our tribe is about to eliminate 2 tribes. War is going on. I am safe as the nearest enemy to is me 17 hours away :D
