Just started at http://WWW.tribalwars.net. MY location is - Sioux (404|382) K34 and I use the same name
Looking for some partners in this real time game the first 5 days are attack free you need to build up men defenses resourses and your TRIBE but when you first join you are a loner and as a loner you could be attacked --- right now I am a loner although I have 1 good alliance, but would like to grow a new tribe you name your own village become part of the xiG tribe will help all i can. then we help the next one
Of course this does not interfer with my CC time just helps while waiting for turns lol!!!
Did you go through the Tutorial? After that, read the Help link at the top of the screen...and then look in the forum for the FAQ and read that too.
If you want to join the tribe, just click on "Reports" at the top...you've already been sent an invite. There should be a symbol of some sort there. Click on "Tribe" and then accept the invitation.
