Overview


The outside part of the village in the game Travian. (Click Menu No.1) Around the outside of the village there are 18 resource fields that are level 0 (shown with no number). Every player's first village has the same distribution of resource fields, but additional villages may have a different distribution of fields. Each resource field is either a Woodcutter (produces Wood/Lumber), Clay Pit (produces Clay), Iron Mine (produces Iron) or Wheat Field/Cropland (produces Wheat/Crop). These fields produce a certain amount of resources per hour, depending on their levels. At level 0, each resource field produces two units per hour. There are also oases which increase the production rate of resources, and can be occupied using a Hero when the Hero's mansion has reached a sufficient level.

Goal
The ultimate goal of Travian is to construct and upgrade a Wonder of the World to level 100. The World Wonder requires millions of resources and takes a large amount of time to complete. Once a World Wonder is upgraded to level 100, the game ends and the winner and his/her alliance is announced. A player needs a construction plans in order to be able to construct a World Wonder; these plans are obtained from Natarian villages.
An appropriate ranking system has been created that determines the players' rank from raiding, attacking, defending and building. Players can earn medals for their profile page by taking a certain place in the ranks. If a player gets themselves into the ranks, and earns a medal, it will contain information about the category, the position they came and of what week in since the start of the server they earned it.

Factions
From the left are the Teuton, Gaul, and Roman troops as depicted in game.
There are three tribes available to be played, the Romans, the Gauls, and the Teutons. Each has their own characteristics. The Romans complete upgrades faster than other tribes, the Gauls defend better than the others, and the Teutons are geared towards an aggressive style of play.
However, the actual style always comes down to the player, and his/her style of play. The fourth tribe, known as the "Natars", are an NPC (Non-Player Character) tribe who were—according to the game—the enslavers of the Gauls and the Teutons before the Romans invaded Travian.

Server

There are two kind of server in Travian :

Normal Server
  • Have 300 days time before server restart.
  • Resource normal.
  • Building speed and army speed normal.

Speed Server
  • Have 100 days time before server restart.
  • Resource 3x than normal server.
  • Building speed and army speed is more faster than normal server.

Villages

A player is able to found additional villages. These increase total resource production, causes population growth and help support larger armies. To found a second village the player must first create and extend a Residence or Palace to level 10, and also have 2,000 (500 for Speed server) Culture points. Culture points are automatically produced daily and accumulated, based on the buildings in the village(s).
A player may also create an Administrator (Senator, Chief or Chieftain) instead. These units need a level 20 Academy first. They allow the player to conquer another player's village and make it their own, but a player's last or only village (i.e. the capital) cannot be conquered this way.

Alliances
The game is heavily geared towards cooperative play. In fact the only likely way to win the game is through cooperation with an alliance. It's nearly impossible for single players to win, but an alliance can win together.
Resources can be traded between players, and towns can be reinforced with another player's troops. An in-game alliance feature is also available, providing the main catalyst for strategic play within Travian; players join and fight together from mutual benefit. Within an alliance, players can view attack and defense information for all alliance members, and also benefit from improved communication tools such as mass alliance-wide in-game messages.
Towards the end of a round, different alliances often join together, resulting in larger coalitions (meta alliances); other diplomatic agreements include non-aggression pacts (NAP) and confederations.

End game
Each Travian server ends with the "end game" sequence. For normal servers the sequence begins after about 300 days, and for Speed3x servers, it ends after about 100 days. After this time has elapsed the Natars, a vicious tribe controlled by the computer, are released. As the players on the server begin to build the Wonder of the World, the plans of which they have captured from the Natars, they meet resistance. With every five levels that the Wonder is built, the Natars attack the villages containing the Wonders until level 95, when they will then attack upon the building of every new level. The first player to build their World Wonder to level 100 wins the server, which stops and restarts after some time. Then a new game begins.
