The Vikings and Their Advantages

Overview

The Vikings are fierce warriors and legendary explorers, known for their dominance across land and sea. With a long history of conquest and raiding, they bring a unique set of features and tactics to Travian: Legends.

Masters of seafaring, the Vikings can construct the fastest raid ships in the game, allowing them to strike swiftly and unpredictably. Their armies rely primarily on powerful infantry supported by efficient cavalry, making them formidable offensive players.

The Vikings are designed for experienced players who enjoy aggressive raiding, strategic offense, and a mix of land and naval combat.


Playstyle Tips

  • Build your strategy around aggressive raiding — Viking infantry hits hard and excels at offense.

  • Make the most of the fast raid ships to reach targets others can’t.

  • Use your Valkyrie’s Blessing cavalry for efficient, low-crop support in mixed attacks.

  • Manage your crop usage carefully — Berserkers consume double crop but can devastate enemies when unleashed.

  • Keep a balance between infantry and cavalry to stay flexible in both short and long campaigns.
