So many questions asking me whether the graphic pack still can be use for new version of Travian: T3.5. Some asking about why the graphic pack can not be loaded too in T3.5. Here is my answer.

Due to some upgrade in Travian servers, especially in International and some local servers like Indonesian server into T3.5 version, the old graphic pack are no longer compatible. This means we can not use any custom graphic packs again for Travian T3.5, at least until now.

Here is the complete statements of the admin of International servers :

Graphics

Some troop icons and navigation buttons have been adapted and some changes in the HTML and CSS code have been done. Sadly, this means that the old graphic packs are no longer Travian 3.5 compatible. The graphic pack function will be disabled for a while after release. As soon as we know that there will be no further changes concerning HTML and CSS, this function will be reactivated. Due to the new HTML and CSS structure more and greater changes are possible to the layout using graphic packs.

So, we can only wait for further news from them telling whether the graphic pack option will be reactivated again.

Due to some modifications and some upgrades on the number of servers of Travian, either in .com or .co.id, I have make some update instruction on how to use/install the Graphic Pack on your computer and also some modifications and fixing on the user.js (user2.7z) in order to works on all the .com Travian servers and all the .co.id Travian servers.

Here I try to guide you how to use Travian Graphic Pack and change your Travian appearance.

Step 1: Download a graphics pack.

Step 2: Prepare your web browser.
Internet Explorer:
This should work for both IE 6 and IE 7.
A. Go to Tools -> Internet Options.
B. In the window that opens, select the security tab.
C. Select trusted sites, then click the "sites" button.
D. Add "http://s2.travian.co.id" (without the quotes) or other travian server you play on, then ok your way out of the windows that were opened.

Firefox 1.0:
A. Type 'about:config' into the address line and search for 'security.checkloaduri'. Doubleclick the 'true' to change it into 'false'. After restarting Firefox the graphic packs should work.
B. Restart Firefox.

Forefox 1.5 or above :
A. Follow all the instructions above for Firefox 1.0.
B. Download The user.js file for firefox, in a 7-zip file here: user2.7z (246Bytes) [updated]
Extract it to an example (C:\user.js)
I already modified this user.js to works on [all] .com server (http://*.travian.com) and [all] .co.id server (http://*.travian.co.id).
If you need to work on other country server, you must add your travian server to its content (ask me again when you need to modify this file).

C. Search for the file "user.js". Replace with the file inside the above 7-zip file.
Oh yes, for Firefox users, the user.js file is in the following location (the phrases in parentheses are not really in the name):
C:\Documents and Settings\(Folder named after the current user)\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(Folder named random characters ending with ".default")
eg. C:\Documents and Settings\rompak_keren\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\hl5f6xv1.default

Now that you are inside that folder, you should see a bunch of other files and folders. This is the place you want to put the user.js file (or replace if is already exist). So go back to user.js download place (in step B above is in c:\user.js) and right click the user.js file and hit 'Copy' Now go back to the folder you were just at. Now right click and hit 'Paste'.

D. Close and restart Firefox.

Step 3: Unpack your graphics pack and tell Travian where it is.
A. Open the graphics pack 7-zip file with the appropriate program.
B. Click the extract button.
C. there will be a field next to the phrase "extract to:". You need to enter text here. Copy and paste the following into it, without the quote marks: "C:\Travian\Graphics". If you're putting more than one graphics pack on your computer, you'll want expand that. For example, with the trendy graphics pack, you might want to use "C:\Travian\Graphics\t3Plus" while for the settler graphic pack, you might want to use "C:\Travian\Graphics\settlers" Whatever you enter into this field, copy and paste it to a text file.
D. Click the extract button in that window and let the program do its thing.

After the extraction, you might see the condition like shown by this below picture :

E. In your text file, you need to transform the path you copied here. "C:\Travian\Graphics" needs to be changed to "file://c:/Travian/Graphics". "C:\Travian\Graphics\t3Plus" would become "file://c:/Travian/Graphics/t3Plus". Save the text file where you can find it easily.

F. Open your web browser and navigate to the Travian server. Go to your profile page and then the graphics pack page. There is a field next to "Path:" where you need to enter text. Enter the transformed path you edited in step E.

G. Click the test button. If a test image appears, click the activate (Hidupkan) button and you're done.

Step 4: Graphics Pack doesn't work.
For some reason, folks just can't seem to follow the instructions. And sometimes, your browser mixes things up and needs to be reset. In those instances, you'll need to revert back to the server-based graphics. This is simple. Go to the graphics pack page. in the path: field, delete all the text. Clock test, then okay. You'll be running off the server graphics once more. In the case you're fixing a browser screwup, just follow F and G of Step 3, using the saved text file.

I use 7-zip for this updates, so be sure you have 7-zip program to open/extract it to your computer. Not have it ? Download here.

This graphic pack is a modification from the original kerberus graphic pack from here (http://forum.travian.com/showthread.php?t=68050&page=23)

I make some modification especially in the header bar of the Kerberus with some old-remake header bar which I pick from other GP (graphic pack) around the internet. I do make the Indonesian server choice in this modified Kerberus Graphic Pack, so it can be used in any Indonesian server (travian.co.id). The modifications are located in the buttons and the messaging images for my local (Indonesia) server.

Alliances

The game is heavily geared towards cooperative play. In fact the only likely way to win the game is through cooperation with an alliance. It's nearly impossible for single players to win, but an alliance can (see End Game). Resources can be traded between players, and towns can be reinforced with another player's troops. An in-game alliance feature is also available, providing the main catalyst for strategic play within Travian; players join and fight together for mutual benefit. Within an alliance, players can view attack and defense information for all alliance members, and also benefit from improved communication tools such as mass alliance-wide in-game messages. Because the maximum number of members in an alliance is 60, 'wings' tend to form as an alliance develops. Being a wing entails having multiple sub-alliances, often with similar names, acting as one alliance. Wings may not fight and destroy each other due to the friendly fire rules. Towards the end of a round, different alliances often join together, resulting in larger coalitions (meta alliances) - other diplomatic agreements include Non Aggression Pacts.

End Game

Each Travian server ends with the "end game" sequence. For normal servers it begins after about 300 days, and for speed (3x) servers^[1] it begins after about 100 days. After this time has elapsed the Natars, a race controlled by the computer, are released. As the players on the server begin to build the world wonders that they have to capture from the dreaded Natars, they meet resistance. They will, every 5 levels, attack the villages with wonders until level 95 when they will attack every new level. The first alliance that builds their wonder of the world to level 100 wins the server, which stops and restarts.

The Game

The player starts as a leader of a small village with two people. The village has one building, which is the main building, and around the village lie 18 fields each providing one of the resources iron, crop, clay, or lumber. Troops can be produced once a player has built a barracks and a rally point. More troops are available after the player has built an academy where troops are researched. These troops can either be used to attack villages, often in order to steal or raid resources, or to defend against Teuton, Roman or Gaul troops attacking. Once the player has fulfilled certain criteria, they can found other villages or conquer those of an enemy with a tribal leader.

The aim of the game is to increase population and to control as many villages as possible. After a certain amount of time, further buildings and concepts are introduced, namely the introduction of the wonders of the world. The game ends when a player has finished constructing the world wonder to level 100 in a Natar village.

Each player when joining an alliance, groups of players, earns points for raiding (thieving), attacking, and defending. These points make up an appropriate rank system, but also promote the alliance one is in.

There are three tribes, the Romans, the Gauls, and the Teutons. Each has their own characteristics and an appropriate style of play: the Romans having a balanced set of attributes, the Gauls being largely defensive, and the Teutons geared towards a more aggressive style.

Villages

To have a second village, a palace or residence level 10 and 2000 cultural points (500 for 3x speed servers) are needed. To obtain a subsequent village, a progressively increasing number of culture points are needed. They are gained by nearly almost all buildings other than the World Wonder. The higher the building level is, the higher the culture points it produces each day. Culture points can be seen in palaces or residences. After a palace or residence reaches level 10, three Settlers or an Administrator (Senator/Chief/Chieftain) can be trained.

The 3 Settlers will travel to an empty spot on the map and settle a new village for the realm. Settlers need minimum resources of 750 of each type.

An Administrator has the ability to conquer another player's village as long as it is not a capital. By speaking to the village's people, the Administrator can lower the allegiance of another player's villagers. After attacking roughly five times with an Administrator, the village will fall to the attacker's realm. The village's loyalty will not be lowered during a raid.

with a palace/residence level 10 you can create a new village and to make the village compatable you have to send settlers over to you new village and then you can build make train and improve all the things that you already have. some top players have over 10 villages!!!

Travian is a German browser-based game developed by Travian Games GmbH^[1] that is largely based on a predecessor game called Tribal Wars. In 2006, the game was ranked first in the "best browser-based game with over 10,000 players" category of the German website Travian Games. The game's developers drew roughly from Classical antiquity and particularly from the Roman Empire to create a predominantly militaristic real-time strategy. Along with two English versions, and the original German version, the game has been translated into 30 other languages^[2]^[3], and today has just over 3 million players worldwide.^[4] It is programmed in PHP and runs in the browser. It was the first game of its type to be playable through a mobile phone, using a java platform.^[5]

       20                  30

Example: an imperian which is upgraded at level 20 in blacksmith
will have the next power of attack:

70 + 70 * 30% (21 - the level 20 bonus in blacksmith) = 91.

The bonus from the hero it is added only for attack power of the troop
and it is not like a bonus from the blacksmith or the armoury.

Example: one imperian with level 20 in blacksmith, with a hero
with 20% attack bonus and with lvl 20 at offense from blacksmith:

70 + 70 * 30% (21 - bonus for level 20 in blacksmith)

+ 70 * 20% (14 - bonus from the hero) = 105
(the best attack on every unity of crop).

The same example is for armoury.
