Scripts

Many of you have indicated the need of such a guide, so I decided to create a -hopefully- good and precise one. I think running through frequently asked question would be a good start before we check the details.

What is a script?

Scripts are codes, which generally help you playing the Tribal Wars. They are written by programmers, as far as  I know with Javascript. Fortunately we do not need to be experts in coding and programming. We will not create our own scripts, just use others'.

How do I use them?

As far as I know, you can use scripts with any browser, but I tested them on Google Chrome, and you will need Java as well.
Basically, there are two main types of scripts. Some of them can be used without paying for it, but there are complex ones, which required premium account (PA).

Without Premium: Not all scripts will work without PA, e.g. the mass-recruit script, which uses a page which non-premium users do not have. We will check how scripts work later.

With Premium: Open up your quick bar (settings > edit quick bar). Click on "Add new link" and give it a sensible name. Then copy the script into the "Target-URL" box, and hit OK.

Why do I need them?

Scripts are created to help you. It will make easier your tasks and make it a daily routine. Things which would usually take hours can be completed in minutes, with the click of a button. You are not forced to use them if you feel like it ruins the game, but it is highly recommended.

The scripting rules

The rules are available from the help pages. It may differ from country to country, so check it yourself. International TW rule about scripts (§7) is available here. If there were not rules with scripting, people would be able to run an account without actually touching it. Accounts could look after themselves, eliminating all skill involved. People could manage totally amazing timing, noble trains in 3 ms, and then splitting these trains! Which would not be a good thing. You find all the approved scripts here, but I have also gathered the most useful ones.
