Tribal Wars Training 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

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

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

So far you've built your defense and learned how to gather even more resources then your village alone can generate, now it's time for you to prepare for warfare and build up your resources so that you have a stable income.

1) Upgrade your Village HQ to level 20
2) Upgrade your market to level 10
3) Upgrade your Timber camp and Clay pit to level 24
4) Upgrade your Iron mine to level 22
5) Make sure you have about 1400 spears and 1400 swords by now, build the spears first
6) Make sure you have about 500 scouts

Your villages should look like this at 2000 points:

Village HQ: 20
Barracks: 10
Stables: 3
Smithy: 5
Market: 10
Timber Camp: 24
Clay Pit: 24
Iron Mine: 22
Farm: 22
Warehouse: 18
Hiding Place: 4
Wall: 20

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.

1) Upgrade your Iron mine to level 24
2) Research axemen
3) Upgrade your warehouse to level 20
4) Build about 500 axemen
5) Upgrade your smithy to level 20
4) Make sure you have about 350 light cavalry and 750 scouts
6) Make sure you have at least 2000 swords and 2000 spears

Congratulations, at 3000 points your village will look like this:

Village HQ: 20
Barracks: 10
Stables: 10
Smithy: 20
Market: 12
Timber Camp: 24
Clay Pit: 24
Iron Mine: 24
Farm: 22
Warehouse: 20
Hiding Place: 4
Wall: 20
