Travian is pretty dumb, and the developers refuse to look at the fact that it's a game all about raping people who can't defend themselves.

Unless a player is using catapults on you, then they cannot do any damage. The game rewards the players who are VERY active, and the people who are casual do indeed get left behind. I played many lowbie accounts and brought them up in the ranks from being active and knowing what to do. For the most part, they start you away from any players with catapults, so unless you get super unfortunate and start with a player that has 2-3 more villages than yourself, you should be fine. The game itself is pretty fun, and is very balanced (it is actual THE best balanced game I have ever played), but it does get lopsided with you have a super nerd (ie, me) that plays too much compared to someone who just wants to play an hour or so a day.

However, having said that, I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone due to the amount of time it takes.

But if they are, they can bring you down until you're defenseless. The main problem isn't even that this is possible, it's that the mentality among the players (at least on the Danish servers) is that this should be done all the time.
Like in WoW where you're level 30 and getting camped by a level 60. Fun indeed. In WoW, you can at least just go to another location and hunt.

You could try the American servers then. They weren't like that when I used to play about a year ago. I agree it wouldn't be fun if a large player was wasting their own time trying to farm/catapult a low player.
