map.sql is a file created by Travian: Legends that contains detailed information about every village on the map. It’s updated daily at midnight (server time) and is often used by players, alliance coordinators, and tool creators to analyze the game world or plan strategies.
What Information Is Inside map.sql?
Each map.sql file lists every village and key details about it, such as:
Village location (coordinates)
Tribe (shown as a number: 1=Romans, 2=Teutons, 3=Gauls, etc.)
Village name
Player and alliance information
Population
Region, capital/city status, harbor, and victory points (these may be empty/NULL if the server doesn’t use those features)
For example, an entry might look like:
If you know what each field means, you can interpret this data for your own use. A table in the original article breaks down the order of each field for both regular and special servers.

How Can You Use map.sql?
Players use map.sql for:
Planning alliance operations: Alliance coordinators can track villages and organize attacks or defenses.

Personal research: You can open map.sql in Notepad, Excel, or a similar program. Use a comma as the column separator to make the data readable, then filter or search as needed.
