I play quite heavily on the uk server of Travian.co.uk, and browsing through my Magic is perfectly fine, but it would be easier and much more tidy if there were a working app for it.

Bit of a large ask (I presume), but if the demand is there then maybe something to persue?

I've been having a lot of serious debates with the Travian staff about this - I got two forums shut down on me because I was supposedly disobeying the rules. :p
Long story short, no go on the app. It's considered a "modified browser," which is strictly prohibited in the rules. I tried reasoning with them, but the staff and mods on the forums refused to listen.

That said, if you want to design an app anyways and need help, count me in. :D

Thanks !

Here you have some pictures, they are REAL pictures of the prototype working on speed.travian.net (v3.5). The app was tested in s6.travian.net (v3) too.

Testes on HTC G1 (Android 2.1 :p) over WiFi connection.
The loading speed is good. The images are not downloaded, just HTML. GZIP compression is integrated :cool:.

I hope you like it.:):):)

I'd like to have a go - as I have some ideas on the topic. I'm just a bit worried about the whole copyright/trademark around it.
