Welcome to the New Year’s Special 2025
The dawn of a new year brings an exhilarating challenge to Travian: Legends! For 2025, we’ve redefined the battlefield with a host of exciting features that promise to test your strategic mettle. This time, the Vikings make their grand debut, replacing the Teutons and adding a new dimension to the game’s intricate strategies. With advanced start, keep tribe after conquering, and an addition to Wonders of the World, this year’s special is truly unmissable.
Introducing the Vikings
 | The Vikings are here to shake up the battlefield! Known for their fierce raids and unmatched adaptability, this new tribe brings unique strengths and challenges to your gameplay. Whether it’s their ability to strike quickly or their tenacity in defense, the Vikings promise to be a game-changer for those who dare to wield their power. Replacing the Teutons, the Vikings’ arrival also introduces the Viking Wonder of the World, a majestic structure rooted in Norse mythology. Can you lead your tribe to claim this legendary prize and make history? |
Advanced start: a head start for strategists
 | In the 2025 edition, players will experience an advanced start, allowing them to jump right into the action with pre-built infrastructure. This accelerates early-game strategies and ensures that every move counts from the very beginning. With less time spent on the fundamental setup, you can focus on conquering, expanding, and outsmarting your rivals. |
Keep tribe after conquering and settle with flexibility
 | When conquering a village that belongs to an account of another tribe, the village will keep that tribe. The tribe-specific buildings are kept unless they are destroyed in battle. Your account will stay as the tribe you picked during registration. But that’s not all… With this feature enabled, we’ll also propose the tribe for your first, second and third settled villages. As if raising hell wasn’t enough, you’ll be able to do so with multiple tribes at your side! More here. |
Merging and forwarding troops
The introduction of troop merging and forwarding brings unparalleled flexibility to your military campaigns. Reinforce key locations, launch coordinated strikes, and adapt your strategies dynamically. This feature ensures that your armies are always where they’re needed most, giving you the upper hand in critical battles.
Ships and harbors
 | This New Year’s Special will also allow you to fight, trade, and travel at sea. With the most advanced version of our “ships and harbors” feature, we invite you to sail on and extend your reach beyond what you could achieve only on land. |
Wonders of the World on the ancient European map
 | The New Year’s Special traditionally takes place on the ancient European regional map, offering a patchwork of historical territories and new challenges. Wonders of the World are scattered across this vast map, each tied to the identity of the six tribes. Can you navigate the complexities of this rich landscape and emerge victorious? Strategists will revel in the interplay of regional control, resource management, and military dominance as they vie for supremacy in this unique setting. |
No confederacies: just raw competition
 | For those who thrive on intense rivalry, the absence of confederacies raises the stakes. Alliances must operate independently, relying on their members’ skill and coordination to outmaneuver opponents. This change amplifies the competitive spirit of the New Year’s Special, making every victory hard-earned and every defeat a lesson. The diplomatic agreements are limited to non-aggression pacts and wars only. |
Introducing the new village lists!
 |  |
This New Year’s Special will also bring you a highly anticipated feature: the “new village list”. You’ll now be able to create up to 20 groups in your village list, group your villages by strategic choices, and name the groups, as well as assign them a color. Villages can be added to a group via simple drag and drop. Initially planned to release with the last QoL update in October 2024, we decided to polish the feature and it is now ready to make this NYS even more enjoyable. We are also happy to announce that after the NYS, every new server will include the feature.
Save the date to join in the fun!
The New Year’s Special 2025 is the perfect opportunity to showcase your strategic genius and immerse yourself in an unforgettable gaming experience. Don’t miss out on the excitement – the Vikings, advanced gameplay mechanics, and ancient European map await!
