Top 4 Ways to Get Banned on Travian (Part 1 – Run Multiple Accounts)

Players who don’t know how to run the game properly think that top players are collecting so many resources by running multiple accounts. They think that if they set up 4 different accounts using different proxies or computers (one at home, one at the library, one at school, etc) it will get them to the top.

Nothing could be further from the truth: instead of moving them forward, this strategy ends their Travian experience with a temporary ban and some major setbacks.

The best players occupy high positions because they have built many buildings. They built them using the resources of other players collected by raiding. By concentrating their energy on a village, building only the necessary buildings to be able to train troops, and using the NPC gold trick to use ALL their resources to build troops to attack, they approach Travian in an honest way and dominate him without fear of being suddenly banned.

These top players have one or two that run the account with them. A dual is another player who, like you, has the username and password (but no email access) to run the account when you’re offline (or at the same time). The best dual is a player that can run the game while you sleep. While 2 players on one account is perfectly legal, one player with multiple accounts is not.

Ironically, this interesting turn of words is one of the most important factors that make the difference between an outstanding player and one who is about to quit in frustration.
