What is the best hammer for my tribe?

Travian: Legends is more than just a game; it’s a crucible of strategy, where each choice shapes your destiny. Choosing your tribe is the first crucial decision, setting the foundation for your future conquests. But it doesn’t end there. Developing an offensive account requires foresight, planning, and a keen understanding of your own, as well as your chosen tribe’s strengths and weaknesses.


When players make a choice about which offensive army to train, they normally pick between those options:

The cheapest and fastest army in terms of training (for that option we recommend to pick based on the Combined attack + Costs per Hour columns)


Most crop efficient army which is easier to keep (pay attention to Crop consumption column)


An army that has some additional advantages. (Farming, additional defence, cheapest training etc).


The last option is the most diverse. Sometimes players pick some other options rather than most powerful or most crop efficient. For example, some want to use army not only for offense, but also as defence. In this case they can pick to train Mercenary-Marksmen hammer, Khopesh Warrior + Recheph Chariots or Swordsmen + Haeduean  due to their quite strong defensive characteristics.  In other cases players use cavalry part of their hammer to fight nature units in oases, and therefore want to have cheapest and fastest cavalry for that due to inevitable losses. Then Swordsmen-Theutates Thunder, Imperians + Equites Imperatoris and Hun armies with the Steppe Riders might be the choice.

Anyway, the final decision is normally based on real gameworld situation, how often do you plan to use your army and recover costs, how well is developed your capital,  whether you plan to use it in defence and in general crop and resource production.

In the table below you will find most used combinations which you can compare between each other and make your choice. All parameters are given based on the definition of Operational (Working) hammer:


Army trained for 1 month on x1 gameworld (~1/8th of length for the other speed versions) on 20 level barracks, stables, workshop, without great barracks and great stables, and calculated without any additional upgrades and bonuses. Rams and Catapults are trained in 55%/45% ratio to support sufficient number of both. Used as support army for alliance operations and day-to-day army to clear-conquer surrounding.
