Things to do when there are no farms around your village

What to do when there are no farms around your village?

The answer is easy. If you can’t raid anybody, there are a few easy things you can do.

1. Don’t waste your resources training offensive troops. If you aren’t attacking anybody, there is no point in offensive troops. Just spend your resources on defensive troops, because they will be the best use to you.

2. Cranny Up! If you play Travian, you will get attacked. The best way to make sure you aren’t losing resources is to build a cranny. This way, you will have your defensive troops in your village, defenses (Wall, traps, etc.), and your cranny. If anyone attacks you, they will lose lots of troops, and gain no resources. This is what every raider with common sense will do when this happens: STOP. If they see no point in attacking you, they won’t attack you.

3. Focus on your own resource production. If you can’t get resources by attacking, you will have to rely on your own resource production, so make sure you have a really high crop production.

4. Become a Trader. Trade for your resources!

5. Ask for them. You can ask for resources from an alliance member. If you just ask someone you don’t know who isn’t in your alliance right out of the blue, they probably won’t give it to you.

6. Conquer an Oasis. Depending on the Oasis you conquer, you can get a 25% bonus on a certain resource. Some of them will give you a 25% bonus on two resources! (Ex. a 25% bonus on clay, and a 25% bonus on iron)

7. Build a second village near farms. Scout around on your map. Find some farms all clumped together, and build another village near them. Be sure to send troops to your new village. This is where you will need to train offensive troops to raid the farms near your new village. Also, you can make your new village in a 9 or 15 cropper. This way, you can get a crop bonus and also have basically a spawning point for many successful raids in the near future.
