I have seen so many Travian players, start their alliance even if they have a very low army/resource count. They think just having an alliance will prevent others from farming them or it would make them better. My time in Travian is pretty extensive. In order to still keep a high position in the top I need to be logged in almost all day long. My BF is also sharing account with me and we occupy the account almost 24/7. Then why am I still a normal member in an alliance if I have the time and knowledge to be better?
1. The resources you spend on the embassy could mean a better army.
I never understood the people who begin a server and put the first resources in an embassy to level 3. With those resources I make some soldiers and raid the living daylights of anyone closer than 2 hours from my village. Getting to a second village, catapults and a top 10 place on the server didn’t happen over night and not only based on resource production. When raiding tens of thousands resources / week one can really develop.
2. Big players (or just “cocky” ones), never care about your alliance.
In the server I am now one of the top3 alliances has disbanded due to some heavy attacks. We talk about people with experience and 2 villages already and a serious army. The fact they were in a top alliance didn’t mean anything. If someone wants to attack you, you will get attacked.
So, hiding under the alliance name won’t do any good. I personally raid some smaller alliances and I am able to wipe them out entirely (just 1 player against an entire alliance). And when I attack I always see what alliance we talk about. If you’re not ranked at least in the top 50 alliances on the server, then I am afraid you are in a world of pain.
3. If you have the embassy in your village, guess who’s getting the first wave of catapults?
I was always scared about this. A normal player (even if in the top), has less chances of being catapulted to account deletion than the holder of the embassy. Right now I am contemplating destroying 2 alliances and the bad thing for their leaders is that I am very close to them. I wouldn’t attack otherwise, but I just can’t help it. And so do other players who want to clean the area next to their villages.
4. You deal with morons, inside and outside your alliance.
You need to be very wise and diplomatic to not put your alliance in danger. Even if you do this, sometimes you get into problems because of others. It might be one of your members who doesn’t get the “confederacy” thing and attacks blindly, putting all the alliance at risk. It might be another alliance disliking your good place in the chart or disliking your blue eyes. No matter who’s having a bad hair day, the fact you are leading the alliance doesn’t make your life better.
5. You will dedicate even more time and not have time for yourself.
As an alliance leader you need to know your work is a fulltime job. You cannot take a vacation (unless you have some good people to fill in for you), you cannot rest at night. There’s a lot of words to be written, messages, forum updates, strategies, abuse.
These are the reasons I chose to be just a member. I cannot brag about being such a cool leader, but I like to play ’solo’ and just follow some orders, when my leaders have a new idea I need to follow. Otherwise… it’s easier.
