My fellow browser based gamers what's your opinion on the differences between Ikariam & Travian & which one do you think you would most enjoy playing if you were to do so?

Last year I went overboard with Ikariam and had civilizations on about 8 different worlds and got burnt out as a result. This year I decided to try the similar game Travian on server 7, the newest server and I only will play one game this time in order not to get burnt out again. It’s fun but slow going in the beginning as it’s a real time game.
