Travian: Legends is a free browser-based Build & Raid strategy game. You begin with a small village in an ancient European world and grow it into a thriving empire through clever economic, military, and diplomatic decisions. Every choice you make affects not just your own progress, but also the world around you — and other players.
The ultimate goal?
Build a Wonder of the World to level 100 and lead your alliance to victory.

Your Choices Matter
Your very first decision already shapes your playstyle — choosing your tribe.
In Travian: Legends, you can play as one of six unique tribes, each with their own strengths and strategy preferences:
Huns or Teutons – Best for aggressive players who enjoy raiding and early combat.
Egyptians or Gauls – Strong defensive tribes with good economic potential.
Romans – Balanced all-rounders, ideal for long-term planners who shine in the mid and endgame.
Spartans – Known for units with an excellent balance of power and crop consumption, crucial for later stages.

The Game is Played in Rounds
Each game world runs for a limited time — called a round.
When it ends, winners are announced and the world resets. After that, players re-register for a new round and start fresh.
This cycle keeps the game exciting, giving you the chance to:
Try new tribes
Experiment with different strategies
Play on different server speeds (e.g., faster rounds for more active play)
First Steps
Once you register, you start as the leader of a small village surrounded by others.
Your first goal is to build a foundation for your empire.
Use your beginner’s protection to grow safely:
During this period, no one can attack you or steal your resources.

Avoid training troops too early, as troop upkeep can slow your progress.
Once your economy is stable, start developing your army and defense.
Balancing your economy and military is key to long-term success.
Choosing Your Strategy
When your beginner’s protection ends, you’ll face your first major decision:
How will you protect your resources and expand?
You could:
Build crannies to hide resources from attackers.
Train defensive troops to make raids on you unprofitable.
Create an offensive army to raid others instead.
Join an alliance for protection and cooperation.
There is no single best way — it depends on your preferred playstyle and your surroundings.
Alliances and Cooperation
Travian: Legends is as much about people as it is about strategy.
Soon, nearby players will notice your growth. Some may become allies, others rivals.
Joining an alliance gives you vital support, especially for defense and coordinated attacks.
To join or create one, you need an Embassy building.
Stronger alliances often recruit active, well-developed players. If you prove your reliability, you might get invitations from top groups — or start one yourself. Learn how to manage alliances here: Creating, Joining, and Leaving an Alliance
The Power of Teamwork
Alliances add a deeper layer of gameplay and are essential for reaching victory.
Only well-organized alliances can:
Capture and use special Artefacts that grant bonuses → Artefacts Guide
Build the World Wonder, a massive structure that decides the winner of the round → World Wonder Guide
Success in Travian: Legends requires teamwork, coordination, and trust — often forming real friendships between players. Many return round after round for this reason alone.
