Champions are starting a new chapter in Travian Kingdoms. From Caesar to Cleopatra, legendary figures now join the world of Kingdoms as upgradeable, collectible characters, each bringing powerful bonus effects that influence gameplay across all gameworlds.
Deploy a Champion to a key village and turn it into a true stronghold. Whether you’re speeding up troop training, improving evasion, boosting healing, or optimizing crop efficiency, your Champion’s presence can tip the scales of your strategy. Empower your critical villages until it’s time to shift your focus and send the Champion elsewhere.
We’re launching this feature with eight unique Champions in the Test World. This is just the beginning, and more Champions and new effects will expand the system in future updates.
Champions also support Fair Play: Rule violations can result in a Lobby-wide loss of all unlocked Champions and a complete reset of their upgrades.
Unlock and Upgrade Champions
Champions will be unlocked and upgraded over time through special Coins and Tablets. Everyone starts with Starter Champions, while rarer Champions can only be unlocked in the Lobby with Coins.
⚠️ In the Test World, we have unlocked all eight Champions for you and disabled the Coins. Please use the Tablets to upgrade your Champions.
Champion Coins (Disabled during Test)
Each Champion has their own unique Coins, stored in your Lobby. Coins are used to permanently unlock and upgrade Champions, coming in four rarities:
- Starter Champion Coins (Tier 1)
- Rare Champion Coins (Tier 1)
- Epic Champion Coins (Tier 2)
- Legend Champion Coins (Tier 3)
Earn Coins through Adventures, Robber Camps, or by visiting an upcoming Lobby Shop for limited deals. Starter and Rare Coins appear early in a game round, while Epic and Legend Coins emerge later.
Champion Tablets (Enhanced during Test)
Tablets are consumable items used to upgrade a Champion’s bonus effect and are stored in your Hero’s inventory. Unlike Coins, Tablets can only be used in your currently running gameworld, boosting effects for that round only. They also come in rarities:
- Grade 1 Tablet (Tier 1)
- Grade 2 Tablet (Tier 2)
- Grade 3 Tablet (Tier 3)
Find Tablets through Adventures, Card Game, or follow timed deals in the in-game Shop or VIP Shop.
Both Coin and Tablet spawning are tied to the current gameworld Item tier era. Excess Coins and Tablets you no longer need can be converted into another resource, such as Silver.
Deploying Champions
Champion deployment happens by selecting your Champions for the gameworld and assigning them to individual villages.
Choose up to three Champions per Gameworld
Use the new Champion Button (found in the top menu bar) to access a Gallery to select up to three Champions. You start with two Champion slots unlocked, and a third slot can be unlocked using Gold.
Deploy Champions in Villages or Cities
The Champion Gallery is linked directly to a new Champion Tab found in the Main Building of your villages. From there, you can assign one Champion per village using Champion Slots, or up to two Champions per City. In total, up to three villages can host a Champion.
Champions remain active only in the village they’re currently assigned to. Once deployed, there’s a warm-up time before their bonus effect activates, so plan your moves wisely. You can reassign Champions at any time by deactivating them from their current location and sending them to a new village.
The First Eight Champions
In the Test World, you will have access to all eight Champions in their base level, but upon feature release, you will need to unlock all but Starter Champions.
⚠️ Please remember that the features and balancing may change throughout the test phase before release, and the Test World Champions will not carry any upgrades to future rounds.
