Starting a new world in Tribal Wars

There are several of tactics in the beginning and it also depends on the settings in the world you play. If it has paladins then you could consider creating a statue right after upgrading iron mine, timber camp and clay pit, and start early farming with paladin. This tactic is more suitable in worlds with bonus villages because you can farm only abandoned, barbarian, bonus villages in the beginning. All players are under beginner protection and you can’t attack them.

You can also choose on what to concentrate in the beginning: training spears and farming if you can be active enough or get an account sitter to farm constantly. If you chose to do so you don’t need high mines before you build your barracks. After that keep producing spears and upgrading your mines. You won’t need high iron mine because spears take only 10 iron. Instead you will need high timber camp. If you experience having too much 1 resource you should build market to trade it for the resources you lack. I like early farming because it’s me who affects my resource flow by how often I farm. But you can farm only bonus, barbarian and abandoned villages so if you don’t have any of them near you this method won’t be effective.

Instead of early farming you can concentrate on your resources first. All you need to do is build up resources. Usually I keep my timber camp 2 levels and clay pit 1 level higher than iron. This way you can get a bit less resources then by farming actively but this is more secure because you won’t be in horrible situation like if you would lose all your troops while farming and would have very low mines.

When you are farming enough resources and have decent mines (I usually am very active and farm a lot so for me it could be something like: 12 wood, 9 clay , 7 iron) you should start building up your HQ, barracks and smithy to research axes or build stables and train light cavalry. I prefer skipping axes and going for light cavalry in the beginning because LC is the best farming unit in the game. Some prefer building axes because most players have only spears in defense in the beginning and they are not good against axes. But you can farm a lot more from barbarian villages using LC then from active players with axes if you need to clear them all the time and he can dodge with resources and you get nothing just lose your troops.

You should achieve a state when you can build troops in barracks, stables and HQ 24/7. Don’t try to upgrade barracks and stables too fast because if you won’t be able to produce troops there all the time it will be useless. When you have mines at about level 20 you can start going for an academy. It is a long way to build academy that’s why you shouldn’t concentrate on it while your troop production is not running nonstop. If you are able to farm more than you can use you can upgrade your HQ even higher than level 20. It’s the same with HQ as with barracks and stables. If you can build faster but still keep building 24/7 then go for it.
