Travian is a browser based RTS (Real Time Strategy) game online. This game can be reached through this link. It is a lightweight yet interesting and stunning graphics for such a fast loading online game (RTS).

Byzone invites RTS "Specialist" Leez Shadowing for a talk about Travian.

"Hello LeezShadows, what was your first impression of Travian?"
LeezShadows says: "Well, Travian was a simple impressive game," "The gameplay was quite good but the graphics could be improved."

FyreVortex then asked: "What do you think about Travian's overall loading speed? After all, Byzone considers Travian as one of the lightweight online browser RTSes."
"It's quite fast but it's a bit slow in loading." Says LeezShadowing. "It can be improved by downloading a graphic pack onto your computer and loading graphics through that instead. By doing that, it'll boost the speed up."

We then talked about the gameplay. "Yes, it's very good for business people who are bored," Leez chats, "The buildings will build by themselves and the resources will drain in even if you're logged off."

Well, we've taken enough time from LeezShadowing the RTS "Specialist" now.

Travian, overall is a good game if you want a simple but straight forward game and fast loading graphics, but if you want to start wars "early", then you should read our next Byzone Game Review... Tribal Wars.

This is from FyreVortex, Byzone Founder and Contributing Author.

GROSS VIOLATIONS BY GAME ADMINS IN s1.travian.gr

MSG SENT TO TRAVIANGAMES.COM

Hello and merry xmas,

There has benn gross misconduct from the members of the travian team in the .gr server....s1 world...

First of all the announced truce period due to xmas was changed and reduced by 24 hours without providing the gamers with sufficient time to make accomodations [the change was announced after the truce was in place], in order to be prepared.

The change in the the truce period was because one of the opponents had transfered the plan out of his account to another player...Due to the truce being in effect, the player could not conquer the plan and therefore keep building his WW


Secondly and more importantly, several accounts where banned including an account who constructs a WW

I have the links with the excuses, provided by the MH...
several of excuses made by the MH are completely unfounded...A simple check of ip adresses and sitters of the accounts in question is pretty straight forward. It will also provide proof that there was no wrong-doing

After our dynamic response all accounts were un-banned. This does not change the fact that they were banned wrongly in the first place

We have contacted the game admin of travian.gr but he refuses to discuss what happened and to offer an apology...Furthermore the game admin has ingnored all our calls for justice and refuses to reprimand the MH of s1.travian.gr

Further more there is strong indication of collusion between members of the travian team and one of the alliances of s1.travian.gr

I have the links from some of the excuses made by the MH...they are at your disposal...

I want to ask you if it is possible that someone outside the greek travian game admins can investigate our claims
