# Beginner's Protection

Beginner's Protection

When you start Travian: Legends, your village is placed under **Beginner’s Protection**. This gives you a safe window to learn the game, build up resources, and prepare your defenses before facing real attacks.

## How Beginner’s Protection Works

-   **No troop interactions:** While protected, no one can attack, raid, scout, or send reinforcements to you — and you cannot send troops to others either.
    
-   **Safe trading:** You cannot send resources, but you _can_ receive them from players who are no longer under protection.
    
-   **Marketplace rules:**
    
    -   If you have **under 200 population**, you can only accept trades that are 1:1 or better.
        
    -   You can still post worse trades, but no one can accept them — useful as **extra storage space**.
        
-   **Attacking exceptions:** You _can_ attack Natars and unoccupied oases even while under protection.
    
-   **No early exit:** Protection cannot be ended early.

## Extending Your Protection

-   As your protection nears its end, you’ll see an **infobox message** offering an extension.
    
-   You can extend protection **once**.
    
-   Once protection ends, it’s gone permanently — it cannot be regained.

## Duration of Beginner’s Protection

The length depends on the gameworld speed:

-   **x1 speed:** 5 days + 3-day extension
    
-   **x2 speed:** 3 days + 3-day extension
    
-   **x3 speed:** 3 days + 3-day extension
    
-   **x5 speed:** 2 days + 2-day extension
    
-   **x10 speed:** 1 day + 1-day extension

**Tip:** Use Beginner’s Protection to focus on upgrading your economy, completing quests, and joining an alliance. That way, once it ends, you’ll be ready to defend yourself.
