Northern Legends is the 2024 Annual Special of Travian: Legends. Below is an overview of the gameplay features that differ from regular gameworlds.
Main Features Kept from Previous Annual Specials
Uses the Ancient Europe map with region-based spawning. The map is flat and edges cannot be crossed.
Includes 87 conquerable regions that generate Victory Points instead of a World Wonder endgame.
Victory Points are stored in villages.
Keep Tribe on Conquest is enabled.
Troop forwarding (including bulk forwarding) and troop merging remain available.
Cities and Watchtowers are included.
Alliance attack and raid visibility is available in the alliance members list.
Naval warfare and trading are available. Players can settle on the shore to build ships for moving troops and resources quickly across the sea.
No confederacies.
Resource deliveries by merchants or trade ships can be cancelled within 60 seconds.
New Features
Vikings as a New Tribe
Teutons are not present on Northern Legends. Their place is taken by Vikings, a new tribe specializing in sea-based warfare and raiding.
Key Viking traits:
Berserker: A strong infantry unit that consumes twice the crop but deals additional damage upon death when attacking.
Valkyrie’s Blessing cavalry: Very efficient in crop consumption.
Viking heroes can reduce enemy village loyalty by 5%, making them powerful offensive leaders.
Raid Ships
A new ship type optimized for raiding via farmlists.
Vikings have the fastest raid ships, giving them an advantage at sea.

Changed Pathfinding
Ship movement now always follows a straight-line path, whether traveling over land or sea. The older, more complex pathfinding system has been removed.
Faster Construction
Construction time for the Main Building, Granary, Warehouse (including great variants) and all resource fields is reduced by 25%, enabling faster economic development.
Invincible Rome (Northern Legends Only)
To compensate for the absence of Teuton spearmen, Roman Legionnaires receive significant boosts:
Cavalry defense increased from 50 → 70
Training time reduced from 26:40 → 22:40
Movement speed increased from 6 → 7 fields/hour
These buffs apply exclusively to Northern Legends.
Improved Alliance Bonuses
The commerce bonus now increases merchant speed as well as capacity.
The philosophy bonus improves Culture Point production and affects Town Hall celebrations and artworks, raising their limits.
Choose the Tribe of the First Three Settled Villages
Players may choose the tribe for their first three settled villages.
This applies only to settled villages—conquered villages do not count.
If these villages are lost, the option cannot be used again.
