Top 3 Cheats In Travian And Why You Want To Avoid Them

Before I reveal what they are, I should admit that knowing them reveals a certain part of my character. Some of these cheats I have tried while others I have gathered information concerning from other players. You wouldn't believe just how many players cheat in Travian and mess up their accounts as a result.

· Running Multiple Accounts: Many new players think that if they run more than one account they will be able to get ahead like the top players. Resources are scarce at the beginning of the game unless you are farming 24/7. Stick with it though, because you don't want to be caught by the Multi-Hunter. The punishment for this "crime" usually involves having your secondary account deleted and cutting your population by 25 - 50%.

· Pushing Resources: This cheat is almost as common as the former. As a server draws toward end game players quit. Those players' accounts are often salvaged by other players who want to use their resources. This punishment usually results in a 1 - week ban. Everything is frozen until the ban is lifted and you can resume playing.

· Another very common form of cheating is using browser scripts. These scripts run automated bots that build fields, buildings and move your troops at specific times. As far as I know the punishment for using these is a complete 100% account ban. I have never met anyone who ran into this problem since the scripts are very difficult for the Travian team to detect.

These 3 cheats are the most common ones that players (often inexperienced ones) turn to when they think they need to cheat in order to 'make the cut' and rise to the higher ranks. Nothing can be further from the truth.
