Summer Mayhem returns on 28. July, bringing back the fast-paced x3 game world where familiar strategies no longer guarantee victory.
This year’s edition introduces one of the biggest gameplay updates Mayhem has ever seen. A large number of troops have received balance adjustments, the Wonder of the World bonus has been reworked to reward consistent performance throughout the game world, and new oasis scouting mechanics make gathering information more valuable than ever.
Whether you’re returning to Mayhem or joining for the first time, this edition offers a fresh challenge with new strategies to discover throughout the game world.
Summer Mayhem Details
- World: MAYHEMx3 (COM)
- Speed: 3x
- Start: 28. July 2026
Troop-Rebalancing
This Summer Mayhem introduces one of the most extensive troop rebalances in Travian Kingdoms to date.
A large number of troops have received balance adjustments. Depending on the unit, different attributes have been updated, including attack, defence, movement speed, carrying capacity, training costs and training times.
Some units have only received minor tweaks, while others have changed much more significantly. The goal is not simply to make units stronger or weaker, but to create more meaningful choices when building your armies and encourage players to explore new strategies.
Because of the scope of these changes, we’ve published the complete troop statistics separately in our Knowledge Base.
Wonder of the World Changes
The Wonder of the World remains an important objective, but it is no longer as dominant in determining the outcome of the game world.
The Wonder of the World bonus has been adjusted to place greater emphasis on consistent performance throughout the entire game world, rewarding kingdoms that stay competitive from start to finish.
In addition, only the highest Wonder of the World bonus owned by a kingdom now counts towards the final Victory Point calculation.
The new Wonder of the World bonuses are:
| Rank | Victory Points Bonus |
|---|---|
| 1 | 20% + 10% of Wonder of the World level* |
| 2 | 15% + 10% of Wonder of the World level* |
| 3 | 10% + 10% of Wonder of the World level* |
| 4 | 5% + 10% of Wonder of the World level* |
| 5 | 10% of Wonder of the World level* |
| 6 | 5% of Wonder of the World level* |
| 7 | No Bonus |
*The percentage based on the Wonder of the World level is rounded down. For example, a level 99 Wonder of the World grants a 9% level bonus, while a level 56 Wonder of the World grants 5%.
Hidden Oasis Animals
Animals inside oases are now hidden by default and can no longer be seen by hovering over an oasis or opening its information window.
Sending a single scout reveals the animals inside the oasis for 12 hours. During that time, the scouting player always sees the current animal count, while shared scouting reports only show a snapshot from when the report was created.
Careful reconnaissance can give your kingdom a valuable advantage before launching an attack.
Additional Mayhem-Features
- Champions – Champions are available on Summer Mayhem. Galen has been rebalanced for this event to compensate for the disabled Healing Tent Boost. Learn more about all Champions and their abilities in our Champions Knowledge Base.
- Loot Limits – Loot limits help keep battles fair by reducing the rewards from attacking significantly smaller opponents. Read more in our Loot Limits article.
- Treasure Restrictions – Additional rules for treasures reduce coordinated transfers and encourage fair competition between kingdoms. Learn more in our Treasure Restrictions article.
