Indians
They are suitable for aggressive player, good in attack, lack in defending and have ability reduce the effectiveness of the hideouts of the enemy.
Mexicans
They have very balance in attacking and defending because the have the best rampart. They have an additional slot in the building queue.
Cowboys
They are suitable for defensive player, good in defending but lack in attacking. They have a unit farmer that can win extra raw materials. They have a hideout twice than others.

We have to extend the level of our village by building such resources, barrack, stable etc. Expanding our territorial by founding new settlement or conquer another village. Build an alliance with other player or fight other player.

How to start?
First, must sign in, just click at: “Register for Free” button. Fill in the username (minimum of 4 characters), select server, password (minimum of 6 characters) and your email.
Then, select which tribe wish to play (click on picture of cowboys, Mexicans or Indians), and finally click Register button.

At the first time, it is better to follow the tutorial, each time you completed a quest you got a reward such some resources.
Finish your tutorial as soon as possible, as you will be given 7 days from the moment that you registers.

What next to do for first time?
Here are best tips from my experience. Build all resource: clay pit, lumberjack , iron mine and farm one by one until reach level 10 followed by storage and granary. Build the main building to level 10 to accelerate the building time of everything. Then continue build supporting resource such: blacksmith, sawmill, brickwork, mills and bakery, that required for bonus each resources. Build barrack to level 10, start building troop infantry in case of get attack from other player and researching that troop in academy.
Start building academy until level 10. Do research in expansion point. This is very important while some player annoyed this.
At the same time, when your troops has more than 50, start to build Assembly point which you can create a group from your troops. A group can earn experience point that will upgrade in the star rating. Higher star rating have more bonus in attacking and defending.
And don’t forget to upgrade your rampart as your additional defender point for your troop while get attacking from other. Once you have 10 groups of your troop, it’s time to expand your village.
Start building tavern then create settler as many as possible (depending on the expansion point as I mention before). And don’t forget also to do research in attacking and defending point of your unit.
The difference of Wildguns compare to Travian (if you have played), in Wildguns the inactive player will convert into bandit village. If you have some bandit village around your village, start raiding them by sending your troop after you spied them before. Your troop will gather resources as many as possible (depend on type of your unit troop). And if there is a bandit village that has big point (higher than 300), it’s better you conquer it by sending the trek (Tequila trek for Mexican). Build embassy to interact with other player.

What next to do if for my second villages?
First, you must to divide your villages in what type of unit want to build (infantry defender, infantry attacker, cavalry defender and cavalry attacker).
One village must concern in one type of unit, this way is more cheaper in researching budget and upgrading the building. For example, the first village you concern in infantry defender unit, second village for infantry attacker, third village for cavalry defender and forth village for cavalry attacker. While cannon and bombolero can be joined with infantry unit. Each unit needs different resources.

For example for village that will create attacker El Marriachi:
One unit El Marriachi needs resources such: 170 woods, 130 clays and 200 irons.
So, the village that will this unit, must upgrade lumberjack into level: 10-9-9-9 (each resources have 4 parts), clay pit into level 10-8-8-8, and iron mine into 10-10-10-10.
Upgrade the barrack into level 15, while the stable only in level 1 (for training scout only). Don’t build embassy and cannon foundry unless you want to build cannon and bombolero. Research El Marriachi into max level.


Another example, village that concern in attacking cavalry.
1 unit caballeria needs resources such 500 woods, 425 clays and 380 irons. This village will upgrade the lumberjack into level 10-10-10-10, clay pit 10-9-9-9 and iron mine 10-8-8-8. Build the stable into level 15 while the barrack only in level 10 is enough. Research caballeria into max level. Don’t build embassy and cannon foundry because you don't need it in this village.
And so on.

This game also has:
- Manual (description of unit, building, rule etc)
- Forum (discussion with other player)
- Battle simulator (to simulate your troop into war)
That all.

Pengalaman maen game onlineTravian

Travian adalah permainan berbasis penjelajah web Jerman yang dikembangkan oleh Travian Games GmbH[2] yang sebagian besar berhubungan dengan permainan pendahulunya yang disebut Tribal Wars. Pada tahun 2006, permainan ini mendapat peringkat satu dalam "permainan browser-based terbaik dengan lebih dari 10.000 pemain". Travian mendapatkan dana dari penjualan Travian Gold.( Sumber: Wikipedia).

Game ini masuk kategori MMORTS alias Massive Multiplayer Online Real Time Strategy. Game ini sendiri sudah banyak untuk beberapa negara. Untuk Indonesia, misalnya: travian.co.id. Servernya sendiri ada beberapa termasuk satu buah server speed (kecepatan produksinya beberapa kali dari server biasa).
Konsep dari game tersebut adalah pertempuran dari 3 bangsa yang berbeda yang masing punya kelebihan dan kelemahannya sendiri2. Kalo kita baru gabung, di awal game kita diberi kesempatan memilih 1 dari 3 bangsa yakni: Roma, Galia dan Teuton. Roma termasuk bangsa yang seimbang dalam hal kekuatan militernya dalam arti menyerang dan bertahan. Galia sangat bagus untuk bertahan tapi lemah dalam menyerang (pengeecualian bagi pemain veteran yang sudah pengalaman dan tahu kelebihan dari Galia). Sedangkan Teuton, bagus dalam hal menyerang tp lemah dalam pertahanan. Nah si Teuton ini yang biasa di pake oleh pemain veteran, karena:
- Cepat dalam produksi di awal permainan
- Hasil rampasannya cukup besar.
- Kelemahannya, biaya produksi untuk tentara level tinggi cukup mahal.
Jadi untuk para pemula, biasanya memainkan bangsa Roma. Dan nantinya setelah server berumur 300 hari, akan muncul bangsa Natar tapi bangsa ini masuk golongan NPC alias Non Playable Character alias tidak bisa dimainkan oleh pemain krn otomatis dimainkan server.

Oh ya, begitu kita main, kita diberi waktu 1 minggu (klo gak salah) untuk mengembangkan desa kita dan diberi jaminan keamanan tidak bisa diserang. Tapi begitu habis waktunya, bersiap-siaplah menerima serangan dari para tetangga yang sudah berkembang atau jika anda sudah duluan berkembang, giliran anda yang merampok desa-desa tetangga.

Pengalaman saya maen game ini (sekitar tahun 2008 dan 2010), untuk beberapa minggu masih bisa tenang, apalagi jika bergabung dengan aliansi yang cukup besar. Tapi setelah lewat dari 3 atau 4 minggu, terutama jika aliansi kita bukan aliansi besar, bersiap2 lah setiap saat menerima serangan, baik itu hanya merampok maupun yang menghancurkan. Apalagi saya tidak memungkinkan online setiap saat, kecuali hari Sabtu, Minggu atau libur nasional.
Jadi setiap login, yang dilihat laporan diserang melulu diserang melulu......hik.

Masih mending maen game Wild Guns, cuma sayangnya gak ada versi Indonesia jadi kita harus join dengan server yang di Inggris www.wildguns.co.uk karena server lain bahasanya bukan bahasa Inggris (German, Spanyol, Portugis, Jepang). Meskipun online sekali sehari, tentara kita masih utuh dan kelebihannya di sini kalo ada pemain yang mengundurkan diri atau lama tidak aktif otomatis akan menjadi bandit. Nah, desa2 bandit inilah yang kalo dirampok gak akan melawan karena gak bisa bikin tentara lagi tapi sumber dayanya tetap produktif. Sampai sekarang, saya masih memainkan game ini dan sudah memiliki sekitar 28 desa dengan ranking masuk 100 besar!!!
