Welcome to Travian: Legends, a deep strategy game filled with complex mechanics and long-term planning. It may feel overwhelming at first, but this knowledge base will help you understand the basics and prepare you for the months of gameplay ahead.
Travian: Legends rounds last several months. Your first playthrough might be shorter—treat it as practice. Don’t hesitate to restart if things go wrong. Each new beginning becomes much easier as you learn the mechanics.
There are multiple gameworld versions and speeds. For your first game, it’s recommended to choose a regular x1 gameworld in your region. You can play on multiple gameworlds, but you cannot have two avatars on the same one.
Travian has six different tribes, each with its own playstyle. Learning their strengths will help you choose the tribe that matches how you want to play.
Travian is a multiplayer strategy game, and cooperation with others is essential. Find allies early and join a good alliance to learn, grow, and protect yourself.
To become valuable to an alliance, focus on developing your avatar:
Improve your economy
Increase resource production
Grow your army
Found new villages
Task rewards and daily quests help you progress efficiently.
Some players will target you for resources. In the beginning, you are protected, but later you need to be prepared:
Hide your troops when outnumbered
Choose your fights carefully
Join an alliance for stronger protection
You can’t be online 24/7. Adding a sitter or playing with a dual helps manage your avatar. Choose trustworthy people—poorly chosen sitters or duals can cause significant damage.
Combat is an important part of the game. Before attacking, you can test battle outcomes using the combat simulator, which lets you adjust troop numbers and compositions to see possible results.
Many actions in Travian are permanent. Only a few can be cancelled, so always think before acting—this is a strategy game.
