Travian Tactics - Choosing your capital

It is crucial to choose the best capital village when playing travian. This could either be a 15c, or a 9c but for my personal choice I always go for 15c with 150% crop bonus if possible.

In the beginning of the game, it is important to scout your area for near 15c with added bonuses. If you don't find one near it is best to delete your account and start over again until you find one strategically located near your area.

After your capital is established, it is important to clear the area from possible competition. To do this you need to farm their village as often as possible until they quit the game, if it doesn't work then catapult them to 0 as soon as you can. I usually clear 21x21 tiles around my capital city to make sure that it is safe from any threat.

Secure all crops oasis in the area starting with the 50% bonus. while slowly killing all competition. This way you control the area, usually player delete there accounts from 1-10 days of continuous raiding, do not agree to any plead for mercy.

You would also need to build "Feeder" villages to support your capital's growth. Feeder villages are villages built to supply resource to your capital, these villages do not create any troops. what they usually have is a Market, a Trading Office, 2-3 level 20 warehouse, 3-4 level 20 granary. lumber mill, Brickyard, Iron Foundry, bakery, Grain Mill, Heroes Mansion (if there are oasis in the area) no infrastructure for military except for maybe a barracks which is required to build other buildings.
