How do you manage war-related stress?

Man, if you're playing Travian, dealing with stress is all about your instincts as much as your strategy, bro. If constant attacks or being on the defensive are getting you down, your first move should be shifting to a "defense-focused" or "balanced" village plan. Like, set your population to 70% defense (walls, mobile troops) and 30% economy/research. I reckon the biggest mistake newbies make is the "send everything" mentality. In any attack, only send 2-3 types of troops (e.g., LC + HT + Bow) and never make the first move with a massive army. To keep your strategy tight, keep a real "strategy notebook" in-game and jot down what worked after every attack. That way, you can build buffer zones later or avoid unnecessary losses. The key to staying calm is all about "timing" and "taking breaks." During battles, step away, grab a tea or coffee, and take a 5-minute breather. Travian’s most dangerous trap is the "panic attack"—like when your main village gets hit and you immediately rush to help by sending everything. Instead, stay logical, send only your "elite" troops, and hold the rest back. To keep morale high, celebrate small wins; like when a spy hits their target or an archer wave deals damage, send it to your team to hype them up. The mistakes newbies make the most are "neglecting resources" and "lack of troop synergy." Like sending LCs before hitting 1000 iron or skipping research. I reckon taking small steps to fix these will seriously cut down on the stress.
