In Travian, the Follow Home strategy involves sending troops from your village to reinforce other villages under attack. This calculator helps you determine the optimal number of troops to send based on your village's resources and the threat level.
What is Follow Home in Travian?
Follow Home is a defensive strategy where you send troops from your main village to support other villages that are under attack. This helps protect your empire from being overrun by enemy players.
The key factors to consider are:
- Your village's current resource levels
- The number of enemy troops attacking
- The distance between your villages
- The type of troops you have available
Pro Tip: Always keep some troops in your main village to maintain control. Never send all your troops away at once.
How to Calculate Follow Home Strategy
The basic formula for determining how many troops to send is:
Troops to Send = (Enemy Troops × Threat Level) ÷ (Your Troops × 1.5)
Where:
- Enemy Troops = Number of enemy troops attacking
- Threat Level = 1 for normal attacks, 1.5 for raids, 2 for strong attacks
- Your Troops = Number of troops available in your village
This formula helps ensure you send enough troops to defend while not risking your entire village's defense.
Example Calculation
Let's say you have 500 troops in your village and an enemy is attacking with 300 troops. The attack is a normal raid (Threat Level = 1.5).
Troops to Send = (300 × 1.5) ÷ (500 × 1.5) = 450 ÷ 750 = 0.6
You should send approximately 60 troops to support the attacked village. This ensures you have enough troops left to defend your main village.
FAQ
How often should I use Follow Home?
Use Follow Home whenever you notice enemy attacks on your villages. The more frequent the attacks, the more often you should reinforce your other villages.
What types of troops are best for Follow Home?
Fast troops like Scouts and Light Cavalry are best for Follow Home as they can quickly reach the attacked village. However, ensure you have enough troops to defend your main village.
Can I automate Follow Home?
Yes, you can set up automated Follow Home using the Travian game's built-in features or third-party tools that support Travian's API.
