Attacking People

Tips:

The most important one:
Build your offence army with your catas(cataputs) in 1 village. DO NOT have offence troops in all your villages.
Why?:
a lot of small attacks from different villages against a good defence will do nothing, even if the attacks arive in the same second. 1 large attackforce will damage the defence and if you have a bigger offence then their defence, your catas who arrive after the cleaning force will be able to do their busines.

Tips:

how attacks are supposed to go(im talking about cata attacks):
1.you send your cleaning army(should be about 90% of your offence troops) to kill enemy soldiers who are there to defend the village.
2.in the same second(but after the cleaning force) or the next second your cata attacks should arive. why so close, read defence instruction. but it is VERY important.

Tips:

How can you practicly send attacks in 1 second?
1.you predetermine how many troops you send on every attack(keep in mind the fakes)
2.you open several windows of travian and in all of them go to his village so you can click the 'send troops' button.
3.you give in the troops in all the windows
4.you select the targets your catas are going to hit in all the windows and check that the troopcount in all windows in not more then the troops you have.
5.you size the windows so that the 'OK' button stand right next to eachother. so you can click them rapidly one after an other.
6.IMPORTANT: make sure you click the cleaner army OK button first, attacking in the same second doesnt mean there is no order of what arrives first in the village.

Tips:

What to destroy, and why?:
you cant go wrong with destroying the crop production, that means bakery, granmill, croplands
Why?:
we usualy attack big players who have 1 giant army which can hurt us. to maintain these giant armies they need LOADS of crop in all their villages. if we destroy a couple of villages their crop production, that means he can feed 1000 troops per village less.
real big players have many many villages, but can not defend them all. so there is practicly no danger of meeting to much defence if you send out decent fake attacks.
you can also destroy: mainbuilding and granery.
mainbuilding destruction slows rebuilding proces.
if all the cropproduction is destroyed he'll have negative crop. if then all his graneries are destroyed he only has 800 units of space for crop.(which he needs to send to that village, there is no crop left there)
rebuilding the mainbuilding(he has to do that first) takes about 2.5 hours, by that time his crops(800) are already gone(villages have about 500 population when all those building/fields are destroyed, so -500 crop/hour)
so, it takes a LOT of time to rebuild.
