New Tribal Wars Video Library

Happy Gaming!​

Video Information
Ever wonder just how much information is out there on Tribal Wars? Well one day I was on YouTube and decided to do a search on “Tribal Wars.” I was amazed to find dozens of videos created for both Tribal Wars 1 and 2. What your viewing is a list of the best video tutorials I could find on YouTube. I decided to use the rating system "DaWolf85" created when he made the original guides library as it's a great evaluation tool. I left out videos with background music and inappropriate language as they take away from learning the game. I then sorted them into respective subjects. I even added a few funny videos that are also posted in the Diplomacy/ PnP guide. All these videos are great for watching on your home computer or mobile device.

Special thanks to "Marshyyy" and other players for diving in and making some awesome videos for our TW community. Hopefully more players will create articles and videos for the community and forum. Send me a message and I will add your hard work to the appropriate guide library.

Video rating system
Most videos are rated on a 0-100 scale. Anything below 70 rating did not make it into the guide list. Some videos by their nature do not need any rating. Here is a breakdown of the original rating system created by DaWolf85.

Ratings System
A. Content
35 point's max
Usability of guide. How well does it teach/help you? Does it go into depth or give a surface idea? Was it understandable, did it require multiple readings to comprehend information?

B. Formatting
20 point’s max
Readability of guide. Did it use proper (or at least understandable) spelling and grammar? Did it define all new terms? Was it organized coherently?

C. Accuracy
25 point’s max
The method/strategy article described. Does it work? Are there better or equally good methods/strategies, and if so, are they explained? Does the guide explain the context in which the strategy is used?

D. Date
20 point’s max
Is the guide up-to-date? Are all numbers, units and buildings inclusive of all new elements (or is it explained why not)? Are any screen shots understandable while using the latest version of software?

Tribal Wars Channels
I am adding a brand new area to our video guide library. In going over new video postings I came upon an idea, why not list the Tribal Wars video channels here in our library. There are many Tribal Wars channels, most are not that hot. Here are three of them that more than rock!

Tribal Wars Guides
Channel has been around for around 2 year and has 15 video guides. Just about every one of his guides are of high quality and superb strategy and tactics. Cannot go bad here.

Marshyyy TW Channel
New comer to the TW video channel. Currently has 15 videos and growing. All his videos are of good quality and sound game strategy and tactics. Enjoy!

Propaganda Videos
These game videos are incredibly funny to watch. They also make excellent propaganda tools against a tribe your warring. Simply tell them this is what your tribe will be doing to them soon.

Incredibly Funny Video on Farming. From Travian but Good for Tribal Wars. Get ready for a laugh!!
I am not a farm!

Adolph Hitler Plays Tribal Wars. Really awesome video.
Hitlers last stand

Adolph Hitler steals Chuck Norris Kraken. Not a good idea!
Never steal from Chuck

Adolph Hitler finds Chuck Norris is Coming. I cried laughing so hard.
Chuck Nukes Hitler

Excellent breakdown of the videos and comments are fair, loving Marshyyy's content btw. I'm honored to hear such kind words on my videos (Tribal Wars Guides channel creator) even though some of the older ones have the weird zoom in's hahaha. Hopefully I will have time in the future to make more videos or re-make some of the older one's with examples and adjustments from comments and yourself.
