For those who don't know what it is:

    "Tribal Wars, commonly referred to as TW, is an massive multiplayer online real time strategy game, set in the middle ages. In it, each player takes control over a small village, grows it, and eventually begins taking over other villages"

       "Each player controls their game from their village. From the main screen, they can "visit" buildings such as their headquarters to create buildings, the barracks or stable to train soldiers, and their rally point to control troops. Each screen can be accessed by clicking on a link, and the vast majority of the game is played through text based interaction, although the map and village overview screens provide some graphical interaction."

    Player Interaction

     "Players can interact with each other through in game mail, in tribal chat rooms, and on the external forums.  A large number of TribalWars players also communicate through Skype or IRC."

Tribes

     "A large portion of the game revolves around the use of tribes, or semi-official groups of players. These players join together for mutual protection and guidance. Size of tribes vary from world to world, depending on decisions of members in the tribe and built in limits on tribe size. Some worlds do not allow tribes of more than five members, while others have no limit on members. Tribes have the ability to set their own diplomacy with other tribes, and to create their own tribal forum. Tribal diplomacy is non-binding, but any breach of diplomacy is generally frowned upon by other players. Most tribes are created after the creation of the world. However, groups of players will occasionally get together before a world starts to coordinate setting up a tribe. These "premade" tribes generally have more experienced players, but are not notably more successful then other tribes."

 Combat

     "Combat in the game is based on attacking villages. A player will send their troops to another player's village, and depending on the number and type of troops sent, and factors such as morale and luck, a winner is determined. In order for a player to conquer other villages and bring them under his control, a unit called a nobleman must be sent to a village. This nobleman decreases the village loyalty anywhere from 20 to 35 points (out of 100) When the village loyalty falls to zero, the player takes control over the village"

so this is a game where time updates every hour or something?

I played utopia in the past which was the same thing... but text based :p

omg i used to play this! i got so addicted we created pre tribes and as the world launched we already had the list of the members we created user names associated with the tribe. we used opera for noble trains, and skype for a tribe chat.

ahhh good times good times.

The game is played in real time, and it runs even when you're offline, so things can happen while you're asleep (unless you don't sleep), you can be attacked, loose a village. It is also kinda text based, but the village and map are graphical.

no one play this game!! you will loose your life.

Too late!

Too late!
