My name will be zebraSDMB. My village will probably be zebraville or maybe I’ll think of something not quite so lame. I’ve been playing and bascially the biggest person near me, who’s village is 10x the size of mine is dertimined to destroy me, just to clear her 7x7. The funny thing is, her profile is all about how wonderful Jesus is. ---

I signed up as the Gauls, under the name Heimdall Lion. I’m in the Southwest as instructed, ready to go in a couple days. \>:3 ---

Ah, sorry I didn’t get to this thread sooner. Rather than spam this board trying to organize, we have set up an alliance message board. [Click here!!](http://s4.invisionfree.com/SDMBTravian/) Ellis Dee has posted some great strategy guides and unit analysis on there. I suggest you read it over if interested. Good luck everyone, and see you in game! ---

It’s not letting me login to the message board. I’ve registered for the new server and I’m registered on the speed server too. ---

And so it begins! The Zen Village of Roosh has begun to build it’s Embassy, and it’s Roman inhabitants can’t wait to get started. I’m over in in the SouthWest (-50,-13) with quite a bunch of neighbors. And I think there are some changes in the game (most notably this giant Roman dude who talks to me at first) ---

Yes, everyone click on the big mascot looking fella when you start. He runs you through a simple tutorial that gives you extra resources. Good luck everyone. Soon we will move out of the clustered middle and be out on the edge, where will form our own colony of peace and harmony (at least until the army is done being built 😃 ) ---

Deleting takes a few days. My only suggestion would be to use a different e-mail address. In your profile on the first account, set your new account as one being used from the same IP address, otherwise it thinks you are trying to run two accounts and cheat. ---

Does it count as 1 square, 2 squares or something in between?
