Top 4 Ways to Get You Banned in Travian (Part 1 - Running Multiple Accounts)
Players who don't know how to run the game properly think that top players are collecting so many resources by running multiple accounts.
They think that if they set up 4 different accounts using proxies or different computers (one at home, one at the library, one at school, etc) that this will carry them to the top ranks.
Nothing could be further from the truth: Instead of getting them ahead, this strategy ends their Travian experience with a temporary ban and some major setbacks.
Top players are high in ranks because they have built a lot of buildings.
They built them using other players' resources collected by raiding.
By focusing their energy on one village, building only the required buildings to be able to train troops, and using the NPC gold trick to use ALL their resources to build troops to raid they approach Travian in an honest way and master it without the fear of getting suddenly banned.
These top players have a dual or two running the account with them.
A dual is another player who like you, has the username and password (but no email access) to run the account when you are not on (or at the same time).
The best dual is a player who can run the game while you are sleeping.
While 2 players on one account is perfectly legal, one player running multiple accounts is not.
Ironically, this interesting twist of words is one of the most important factors that make difference between a top player and one who's about to quit out of frustration.
