Troop movement speed in Travian: Legends can be improved in several ways.
Speed bonuses can come from hero items, artefacts, or the Tournament Square — and these bonuses can stack for even greater effects.
Ways to Increase Troop Speed
Pennants
Increases troop movement speed between your own villages by 30–50%.
The hero must travel with the troops for the bonus to apply.

Standards
Increases troop movement speed between alliance or confederation members by 15–25%.
Only applies if the hero accompanies the troops.

Boots
Increase troop movement speed after the first 20 fields of travel.
The bonus ranges between 25–75%, depending on the boots.
The hero must be traveling with the troops.

Artefacts
The Titan’s Boots artefact increases troop speed by:
1.5× (large artefact)
2× (small or unique artefact)

Tournament Square
The Tournament Square is a special building that increases troop speed for long-distance travel.
The bonus applies after the first 20 fields of movement.
Each level increases troop speed by 20%.
At level 20, troops move at five times their base speed (a 500% total movement rate — 100% base + 400% bonus).
Prerequisite: Rally Point level 15
Multiple Bonuses
All troop speed bonuses stack but are applied in specific ways:
The Tournament Square and Boots bonuses are added together, and both only apply after the first 20 fields.
The total of those two is then multiplied with all other bonuses (such as artefacts, standards, or pennants).
Example Calculation
| Bonus Source | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Boots of the Mercenary | +25% | After 20 fields |
| Tournament Square Level 10 | +200% | After 20 fields |
| Artefact (Titan’s Boots, small) | ×2 | Always active |
| Standard | +20% | Always active |
Calculation:
First 20 fields:
Base speed × 2 (artefact) × 1.2 (Standard) = base speed × 2.4After 20 fields:
Base speed × 2 (artefact) × 1.2 (Standard) × (1 + 0.25 + 2.0)= base speed × 5.65
So, in this example, troops travel 2.4× faster for the first 20 fields and 5.65× faster after that.
Tips
Build the Tournament Square in your offensive or raiding villages to reduce long travel times.
Combine speed bonuses strategically — especially useful on large maps or during artefact wars.
Remember that short-distance movements (under 20 fields) are not affected by the Tournament Square or Boots bonuses.
