# Interacting with Other Players

Interacting with Other Players

Travian: Legends is a multiplayer game at its core. Your success depends not only on your own strategy but also on how you interact with others. Here are the main ways you can cooperate — or compete — with fellow players.

* * *

## 1\. Attacking Other Players️

-   You can attack anyone who is **not** in Beginner’s Protection, on vacation, or banned.
    
-   Choose a target via:
    
    -   the **map**
        
    -   the **statistics**
        
    -   or by entering village details directly in the **Rally Point**
        

**Attack types:**

-   **Normal attack:** Fought until one side is completely destroyed.
    
-   **Raid:** Smaller engagement — catapults won’t fire, chiefs won’t lower loyalty, rams won’t damage walls. The attacker usually keeps at least 1 surviving soldier.

## 2\. Reinforcing Allies️

Help your alliance or confederacy by sending reinforcements.

-   Choose a target the same way as with attacks.
    
-   Reinforcements stay until they die, you withdraw them, or the village owner sends them back.
    
-   **Important:** The **village owner pays upkeep** for all reinforcement troops.
    
-   If your alliance or confederacy connection ends, reinforcements are automatically returned (with some delay).

## 3\. Trading Resources

The **Marketplace** allows you to send and exchange resources.

-   Options:
    
    -   Accept an existing offer
        
    -   Create your own offer
        
    -   Send resources directly to another village
        
-   During **Beginner’s Protection**, you can only send resources manually to players in your own alliance/confederacy.
    
-   You don’t need a marketplace to **receive** resources, but without one you can’t see incoming shipments.
    
-   Marketplace trades can also happen with players outside your alliance or confederacy.

## 4\. Messaging Other Players

Use messages to communicate, coordinate, or negotiate.

-   Open the **message symbol** to read, write, or manage messages.
    
-   To send: enter the player’s nickname, add a subject and content, then click **send**.
    
-   Alliance leaders may allow special roles to send group messages:
    
    -   `[ally]` → sends to the whole alliance
        
    -   `[def]` → sends to defense coordinators
        
    -   `[off]` → sends to offense coordinators
        
-   Gold Club feature: archive your reports and messages for easier management.
