Northern Legends was the 2024 Annual Special of Travian: Legends.
It introduced the Viking tribe and brought new naval warfare, faster growth, and refined alliance systems — while keeping many core features from past annual specials.
Returning Features
Map and Regions
Ancient Europe map with 87 conquerable regions that generate Victory Points (VPs) instead of a Wonder of the World endgame.
The map is flat, and edges cannot be crossed.

Gameplay Adjustments
Simplified Pathfinding
Ship movement now follows a direct straight line to the target, whether by land or sea — no more complex route calculations.
Faster Construction
Main Building, Granary, Warehouse (and their great versions), and all resource fields build 25% faster.
➡️ This means a much quicker early economy.
Invincible Rome ?️
With Teutons gone, Romans were strengthened to balance gameplay:
Legionnaire defense vs. cavalry: increased from 50 → 70.
Base training time: reduced from 26:40 → 22:40.
Movement speed: increased from 6 → 7 fields/hour.
(Applies only on Northern Legends gameworlds.)
Improved Alliance Bonuses
Commerce bonus: increases both merchant speed and capacity.
Philosophy bonus: now boosts Culture Point production, Town Hall celebrations, and artwork limits.

Choose the Tribe of Your First 3 Settled Villages
You can select the tribe for your first three settled villages.
This applies only to settled villages (not conquered ones).
Losing one of these villages does not allow reusing the option.
After three villages are settled this way, the feature becomes unavailable.
✅ Tip: Northern Legends combines the strongest elements of past annual specials — regional strategy, fast development, and diverse tribes. Try mixing tribes strategically to create powerful hybrid empires.
