Tribal Wars: Three Ways To Be Successful

Everyone wants to win in any video game and to achieve that, they need to do know the basics and use their instinct to survive and win.

For tribalwars, here are what I believe that may give me that road to victory.

Use Common Sense. You may think that nobling everything on sight would be beneficial to you. You may think that attacking someone with your proud troops are enough to gain respect and remove another potential enemy. You may even think that having high points scare the heck out of other people. If you have this mindset, then probably you'd be seeing your villages drop like rain and go into the start over land due to a tribe attacking you in a full scale assault like in Call of Duty.

Sure, barbarian and bonus villages are there for the taking of anyone but you don't really need to noble all of it near your main village unless it is beneficial to you, such as expanding since you're main village is overflowing with resources or need more farm space. Also think about other players in nearby abandoned villages. Check their profile first and see if they have those "if you noble any village near me, you are in for a beating" type warnings, then probably you need to stay clear away from them and choose another village to noble. Keep in mind, you'd probably want neutral or friendly neighbors rather than lethal ones who can punch you out of your game.


Join a tribe. Sure, you can take on the world with your egoistic attitude but then again, wouldn't you like to have some company and help when the time comes? Yeah, joining a tribe is just like joining a group of people with the common goal in the game. Of course, you can't just join the biggest and dominating tribe at the very start. You need to find a tribe that is near you, have the same goals, is friendly and lively, and an active leader.

Yes, you need to join a tribe, it is somewhat advisable to be in one rather than being alone in the harsh world of tribalwars. You can be picky but you have to be quick with which tribe you want to be with and stick to that unless certain things come up such us, the tribe disbands or another tribe offers a larger protection and help. It may seem that you've become a traitor to your tribe but then again, you don't really know them that much unless your tribe are people who are your neighbors who may beat the crap out of you when all of them get wiped out by the tribe you switched to in order to survive. But hey, this is a practice of politics on the safe side.


Build, build, expand. This is what I follow to make my villages as strong as they should be. I'm relying on my theoretical plans on this strategy where I build up buildings to raise points for my village. With that ongoing, I also build up my army in each village, depending on what type of village they are, troops are being trained and soon I have at least a couple thousand troops stationed. I would like to go into detail for each type of village but I'd probably spend more time making another post dedicated for that. But a summary of my plan would be to make my main village to have mixed troops, the next two villages as defense villages, and lastly the following would become an offensive village.

Why would I do that? The main village is your only village at the start of the game. You need to build defense first before building up your offense troops. When you're almost ready to get another village, I make that into a defensive village after nobling it. I build up defensive troops only in that second village. Then I find and get my third village and do the same thing with the second village. More defensive troops would protect your three villages and then when you get your fourth village, then you dedicate that for offensive troops. What about defense for that village? Well, that's when your two defensive villages come into play. They support your offensive village when there's someone attacking the fourth village. With supporting defensive troops, your offensive village can attack your attacker.


Well that's the three things I keep in mind when I play tribalwars. Looking at my achievements in the game, I'm still going strong and trying to keep improving and expanding to be ready for the ultimate battle when the time comes to eradicate another large tribe against my tribe. =)
