Developing your first villages

This article explains how to begin developing your account after registration, with a focus on establishing and managing your first two villages efficiently.

Settling Your Second Village

Your first main goal in Travian: Legends is to settle a second village as soon as possible.
Doing so provides additional resource production and allows you to plan the location of your future capital.

Why early settlement is important

• It helps secure a preferred location (for example, a high-crop capital site).

• It demonstrates activity to nearby players and alliances.

• It accelerates overall resource and account development.

If you are part of an alliance, check with the leadership before settling, as some alliances coordinate specific areas for their members.

Using the Hero Effectively

The hero contributes to both resource production and combat strength. At the start of the game, distribute hero points mainly into resources to speed up development. Only a few points (2–3) should be placed into strength to avoid excessive health loss during early adventures. After the hero reaches approximately level 7, allocate about one point in strength for every eight total hero points. If health loss per adventure regularly exceeds 10 %, increase strength slightly. When your second village is founded, set it as your hero’s home village to reduce the need for resource transfers through the marketplace.

Keeping Both Villages Active

When the new village is founded, start construction immediately. Villages with very low population and no recent activity often attract attacks from other players. Maintain a regular pace of upgrades to show that the account is active.

Develop both villages in parallel:

• Use resources from the hero inventory to supplement missing materials in each village.

• Direct more support to the new village, as it begins with fewer developed buildings.

Managing Storage and Offline Periods

Ensure that Warehouse and Granary capacity covers the time you will be offline.
If you expect to be away for several hours, upgrade these buildings enough to prevent resource overflow but avoid unnecessary high levels that waste time and materials. You can verify current storage levels by hovering over the warehouse and granary icons at the top of the game interface or by checking the Travian Plus village overview.

Continuing Development

After establishing two stable villages, continue expanding by:

• Developing resource villages that supply materials to others.

• Preparing specialized villages (defensive, offensive, or scouting).

• Planning the capital location and upgrading crop fields and supporting infrastructure accordingly.
