Travian Raiding Basics

"Alright. You're producing resources, you've built your military. Your friends and opponents have also been building their resources, but they may not have built their military yet. It's time to take their resources and use them for your own. Selecting a target. Now when I was in elementary school, I quickly learned that it's best to only beat up smaller kids and take their lunch money. You can use that same principle in Travian. If you scroll your mouse cursor over another player after clicking the third button to go to the main screen, you will see their profile that shows their population number. You should generally only attack people who are smaller than you are. To attack them, click that person that your mouse cursor is now on and then click the send troops button that pops up. You can then select the number of troops you want to send to that target and then click ok to move to the next segment. The next menu that pops up will tell you how long it takes your soldiers to reach their target, that target and click ok again if that length of time is alright with you. Now you've returned to the rally point and you can check up on the progress of your raid here."
