Travian 4: Gray Zone
Gray zone is the zone where the World Wonder is located, which means where the natars exist. Or in the simple words, gray zone is equal to natar area.
When we are talking about the new “things” in Travian 4, we should not forget about the “Gray Zone”.
What is the Gray Zone is ?
Gray zone is the zone where the World Wonder is located, which means where the natars exist. Or in the simple words, gray zone is equal to natar area.
Not like the old version of Travian, where the Natarian appear in the mid game, in Travian 4, the Natarian already appear in the first beginning of the game itself, and located in the gray zone. Now, where is the gray zone located in the map ? Its located in the center of the map for sure with (0|0) (zero|zero) as its center and radius 22 for its circle from the center, which range from :
x = 22 till x = -22
y = 22 till y = -22
like shown in below pictures.
Here is the preview : the border of the gray zone and the green (normal) zone :

Now, lets see what the advantages and disadvantage to settling in the Gray Zone.
Advantages to Settling in the Grey Zone:
- All Oases have a +50% bonus, including wood, iron and clay!
- There are a high degree of croppers in this area. Many 9c and 15c croppers can be found here and because of all the +50% bonus there is a very high probability to find croppers with +150% bonus!
- You’ll be close to all WW Villages which in T4 have a fixed position which is known right from the start of the game. Thus you can provide great support to your own WW as well as strike quickly (and unexpectedly) at enemy WWs and their support villages!
- Being close to the center you have a great opportunity for raiding as well!
- Such a position is great for taking artifacts because unique artefact’s tend to spawn close to the center of the map!
Disadvantages to Settling in the Grey Zone:
- Any villages settled in the grey zone give no culture points! Ouch! Be prepared to use a lot of artworks and host constant parties to compensate for that. At any rate you probably won’t want to have more than 2-3 villages in this area. A way to deal with this inconvenience is to find a good cropper right next to where the grey area ends and have other villages settled a few squares away on normal terrain.
- Being in the center means you’ll attract a lot of players so be prepared to take quite a lot of action. A high amount of online time is a must and you should have atleast one dual and some sitters to cover for your account!
- Also, as soon as you settle, the natars will launch catapult attacks at you.
I hope with this brief explanations, can give your hints about what Travian 4 about.
We will explain more about in the next posts, so stay tune.
