Tribal Wars Training Guide - 0 to 3000 Points

Tribal Wars isn't easy. "What should I do first? Which building should I build? How many troops should I have?" This Tribal Wars Training Guide hopes to answer all these questions and give you even more tips to help you succeed in Tribal Wars. This training guide will take you from starting out on your first world with your first noob village to a 3000 point capital of your Tribal Wars empire, this guide isn't just about surviving in Tribal Wars, it's about thriving in Tribal Wars.

From 0 to 500 Points 

Tribal Wars Guide

At first you'll want to focus on resources (wood, clay and iron), resources are required to do everything from build buildings to get troops so they're very important and the earlier you have a steady supply of them the earlier you'll be able to really grow your points.

If you're attacked you'll lose resources to your attacker so if one of the neighboring villages attacks you get a wall and build a few spears (requires a barracks).

First upgrade your resources to:
Timber Camp: 17
Clay Pit: 17
Iron Mine: 17

Then get your village headquarters and warehouse to a decent level for now:
Village HQ: 5
Warehouse: 14

Then you should build a few smaller necessities:
Barracks: 1
Market : 1
Farm: 4
Hiding Place: 4
Wall: 5

Tribes

Never join a tribe too early, but don't wait too late either, if you have someone near you with higher points try joining their tribe so they don't noble you.

From 500 to 600 Points 

Tribal Wars Guide

This may seam contradictory to guide for building up your points but when you reach 500 points you'll actually want to slow your gain of points and build your defense. This order seams to work best:

1) Upgrade your barracks to level 5
2) Upgrade your farm to level 6
3) Build a smithy
4) Research swords
5) Then build 400 swords and 400 spears for defense
6) To build troops faster upgrade your barracks to level 10
7) To accommodate more troops you'll need to upgrade your farm to 11

Village HQ: 5
Barracks: 10
Smithy: 1
Market: 1
Timber Camp: 17
Clay Pit: 17
Iron Mine: 17
Farm: 11
Warehouse: 14
Hiding Place: 4
Wall: 5

Resources & Troops

Remember to build resources and troops or you'll grow too slowly or fall pray to another village after all your hard work.

From 600 to 1000 Points 

Tribal Wars Guide

The resources you get from your Timber camp, Clay pit and Iron mine are fine but at this point you'll need to gather more resources from elsewhere to continue to grow faster then your neighbor villages. To do this you'll need to farm the villages around you, basically you'll attack them (which is why good defense is a plus, in case they attack back) and your troops will bring you back resources if they're successful.

1) Upgrade your Timber camp and Clay pit to level 20
2) Upgrade your Iron mine and warehouse to level 18
3) Build more defensive troops
4) Upgrade your Village HQ to level 10
5) Upgrade your smithy to level 5
6) Build a stable and upgrade it to level 3
7) Research scouts and light cavalry
8) Build 100 scouts and start scouting the villages around you with about 20 scouts each so you leave at least 60 scouts at home
9) Build 35 light cavalry and start attacking the villages you scouted with very little troops
10) Build more cavalry with the resources you farm from other villages
11) Build your wall up to level 15 with the resources your village makes

Your villages should look like this at 1000 points:

Village HQ: 10
Barracks: 10
Stables: 3
Smithy: 5
Market: 1
Timber Camp: 20
Clay Pit: 20
Iron Mine: 18
Farm: 16
Warehouse: 18
Hiding Place: 4
Wall: 15

Spears, Swords then Scouts

We build the spears first so we can use the leftover iron to start making swords right away, then we build the scouts last since they're the most expensive.

From 2000 to 3000 Points 

Tribal Wars Guide

This is the final growing stage for your first village, the most important building now is your smithy because it allows you to research new troops and eventually build your academy which you'll use to conquer other villages.

2) Research Axemen
3) Upgrade your warehouse to level 20
4) Build about 500 Axemen
5) Upgrade your smithy to level 20
