There are four different types of resources in Travian: lumber, clay, iron and crop. Later in the game the buildings in the village become important too. In order to construct a new building you have to click on one of the green ovals. A list with every building that is available will appear.
The Roman Empire is the tribe in Travian which is most easily played by beginners. Because of its high level of social and technological development the Romans are masters at building and its coordination. Also, their troops are part of the elite in Travian.
They are very balanced and useful in attacking and defending. To guarantee this variety the Roman troops are trained for a very long time and their training is expensive. Their infantry is a living legend, but their defence against enemy cavalry isn't as good as that of the other tribes.
The Gauls are the most peaceful of all three tribes in Travian. Their troops are trained for an excellent defence, but their ability to attack can still compete with the other two tribes. The Gauls are born riders and their horses are famous for their speed. This means that their riders can hit the enemy exactly where they can cause the most damage and swiftly take care of them.
The Teutons are the most aggressive tribe. Their troops are notorious and feared for their rage and frenzy when they attack. They move around as a plundering horde, not even afraid of death.
However, they lack the military discipline of the Gauls or Romans which causes them to be weak in speed and defence.
