Governors are persistent characters that provide bonuses to a village. Once unlocked, a Governor is tied to your lobby account and can be used on participating game worlds. Governors use two different progression systems: - **Stars** determine whether the Governor is unlocked and how high their Maximum Level can be. - **Experience** determines the Governor’s actual level on a specific game world. ## What are Governor Stars? Stars are used to: - unlock a Governor - increase that Governor’s Maximum Level Stars are tied to your lobby account. You can obtain Stars as rewards in the Season Pass or by purchasing a special pack in the game. ## How can I check my current Stars progress? You can check your current Stars progress in the Governor tooltip or in the Main Building in a village where you assigned the Governor It shows: - how many Stars you currently have - how many Stars are required for the next unlock or Maximum Level ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/dCRGNXWGQlNJlpmqhPeMMVOpfda1auwucwwvynEEx5XalxymQvi2UOEM0Y9uM0F7VltGT477eK4.png) ## What is Governor Experience? Experience is earned separately on each game world. How a Governor gains Experience depends on the Governor, but it is generally earned while that Governor is active and their abilities are in use. Experience is **not shared between game worlds**. ## What is the difference between Governor Level and Maximum Level? The **Governor Level** is the Governor’s current level on that game world. The **Maximum Level** is the highest level that Governor is currently allowed to reach. A Governor cannot level up beyond their Maximum Level, even if they have already earned enough Experience for the next level. ### Example If your Governor has: - enough Experience for level 4 - but a Maximum Level of 3 the Governor remains at level 3 until you obtain enough Stars to increase the Maximum Level. On the other hand, if the Maximum Level is 5 but the Governor has only enough Experience for level 2, the Governor remains level 2 until more Experience is earned. ## Why is my Governor a different level on another game world? Governor Experience and Governor Level are tracked separately on each game world. The same Governor can therefore be level 4 on one game world and level 2 on another. Their Maximum Level, however, is tied to the lobby account and is the same across participating game worlds. ## How do I use a Governor? Once you have unlocked a Governor, you can activate them in one of your villages through the **Main Building**. Activation takes time depending on the game world speed. On an x1 game world, activation takes **12 hours**. ## What happens when a Governor becomes active? Once active, the Governor provides their bonuses to the village. The exact effect depends on the Governor, their Level, and any additional requirements. For example, Cleopatra increases crop production. ## Can I move a Governor to another village? Yes. You can recall a Governor at any time and assign them to another village. Recalling is immediate, but assigning the Governor again starts a new activation countdown. Moving a Governor does not affect their Experience or Level. ## What happens to a Governor’s effects when I recall them? The Governor’s active abilities stop affecting the village. Effects that have already happened are not reversed. For example, if Cleopatra is recalled: - the village’s crop production returns to normal - resources already produced while her bonus was active are not removed ## Can I use more than one Governor? Only one Governor can be active in a single village. If you have several Governors, each can be active in a different village on the same avatar. ## Can I use the same Governor on several game worlds? Yes. The same Governor can be used at the same time on multiple game worlds. On each game world, that Governor can only be active in one village per avatar. ## Where can I find specific information about the Governors? - [More information about Cleopatra](https://support.travian.com/articles/226) - [More information about Teutobod](https://support.travian.com//articles/233)
