A Note From the Author
Welcome to the guide library! I just wanted to take a moment to explain what this library is all about. The intent of the original library was to simply provide a list of guides I had found. Since I first posted that version in .net’s W29 General Discussion section, my purpose in maintaining this library has changed. I now maintain this library not just as a repository of guides, but partly as a teaching tool in itself. I try to aim you, the reader, towards gaining more knowledge about the game of TribalWars. To this end, I supply you with a list of guides that I have rated for their helpfulness. These ratings are not necessarily all-encompassing - indeed, I design them so a 100/100 is the best guide in the library, rather than a mythical ‘perfect guide’ - but they do give you a rough idea of what to expect from each guide. This allows you to gain the most possible from each guide, because you know what to expect from it. My intention is essentially for this library to act as a self-guided course in TribalWars. Hopefully, it will be useful to you.
Now for some boring (but necessary) thank yous.
I’d like to thank Googly for helping me immensely with several aspects of this library. I’d like to thank Phlipster for creating such an awesome header image. I’d like to thank everyone who suggested guides to add, especially auguthy2 and 3FFA for being so persistent about it. I’d like to give a shoutout to u6s5l., who maintains the version of this library posted on the .us forums. I’d also like to thank everyone who gave me feedback on all the different versions of this library I’ve had. And of course, I’d like to thank everyone who wrote the guides included in this library. Thanks, all of you. I may have put this library together, but without any of you this library would be nothing like what it is today.

A. Explains well within the scope of the guide. However, the ‘why’ is usually not explained, which makes the guide useless outside of a few situations. 25/35
B. Good spelling/grammar, but the guide is difficult to understand because of its jumpiness. 17/20
C. This guide doesn’t really stand on its own (no start-up guide does), despite the author’s implication to the contrary. I would suggest reading some other startup guides before deciding on a strategy - startup is a very opinion-based phase of gameplay, and other guides will give you different ideas. 20/25
D. Has not been updated for a while. There are several issues that have existed for about a year now, none of them fixed. 10/20

C. You say rams are situational, then do not discuss how to decide on a number of rams. It is not hard for a tribe to coordinate on the fly if you understand your teammates - this is the hallmark of good tribes, the ability to coordinate on the fly.

However, it does have some holes, and isn’t very flexible, so it loses some points here. 15/25
