Well, Travian is false advertisement at its worst.

The initial idea seems to be “Have fun building up your own Ancient village!” Log in to see images!

Then, when the protection time has pbumed, it is “Be on the lookout or be plundered!” Log in to see images!

When catapults come into play, it is now “Join a clan and play as much as you can or lose your hard-built villages!” Log in to see images!

And then you realize that each server last a year… Log in to see images!

I’ve even submitted an idea about the terrors of Travian to Forumbuildr under the name of “Dark Ages Online.” So far, it’s unsuccessful. Perhaps people don’t get it. But if you do, feel free to give it an upvote. It will be really appreciated.
