Travian Loop: Knowledgebase

The Knowledge Base (KB) is a valuable resource for players, and our team is always excited to hear your feedback and what improvements you want to see. While there are many topics the team would like to address, we must be careful about planning these updates to balance ongoing projects.

Below, we answer some of the feedback you, the community, have highlighted. To make responses more visually engaging and easier to distinguish, the following emojis will be used, respectively:

Feedback Point: 💬

Team Response:

Knowledgebase Topics That the Players Are Missing

💬 Building and Fields Resource Cost Table With Quick Access to It

✅ Rest assured, we are working on integrating this data into the Knowledge Base soon. While we can’t commit to a specific date, it’s a priority once we complete ongoing projects.

💬 Troop Stats and Unit Details

✅ While we currently don’t plan to add detailed unit information to the KB, this could be an area to focus on after completing the building data.

💬 Conquering Villages

✅ Information about conquering villages, including connections through sitters, alliance members, and IP addresses, is planned to be added, with an estimated release later this year.

💬 Main Village and Administrative Buildings

Lots of players do not understand that they can build the palace only in one village and that they cannot have other administrative buildings there.

✅ We’ll look into improving the capitals article or create a new one focused on palaces and other administrative buildings.

💬 Demolishing Buildings

✅ We understand that players want more clarity on which buildings can be demolished without losing smithy upgrades or troop queues. We’ll consider including this in our article on demolishing buildings.

💬 Map: Link to Game Secrets Guide

✅ While the KB doesn’t focus heavily on UI explanations, we recognize the map’s complexity and plan to link to relevant blog articles on game mechanics. We have already added links in some articles and will add more to help new players understand less obvious features.

💬 Auction Tips

✅ Auctions can be tricky for newcomers. We acknowledge this and will aim to provide clearer guidance for players new to this system.

💬 Culture Points for New Villages

✅ The Culture Points article now includes a requirements table for new villages at different speeds. You can find the article in our Knowledgebase here

💬 Settling Villages

✅ Regarding costs and times for settling a village, refer to the Culture Points requirements in the article above. We currently can’t add these calculations to the KB, but the table should make it easier to estimate.

Addressing Language Barriers

💬 Inconsistent Naming

✅ For issues like incorrect hero or artifact names in the KB for different languages, please report these through the feedback feature at the bottom of the page. If you click “no”, you will be prompted to add a comment, which ensures that the right team member receives the report directly.

💬 Translation Gaps

✅ While we would like to offer a complete KB in multiple languages, we can’t provide full translations for all. In some cases, articles may only be available in English or we might discontinue support for languages that aren’t regularly updated. Thank you for your understanding.

Other Suggestions

💬 Hyperlinks

✅ We agree that more hyperlinks between articles can improve navigation and understanding, and we will work on adding these where needed.

💬 Mobile Search Feature

✅ Some players have noted that the mobile version lacks an immediately visible search feature. We assure you that the search function is there, just like on the desktop version, accessible via the menu.

💬 Open Source KB

✅ Opening the KB for updates by verified users, with moderator approval, has been considered and tried before. However, our multilingual KB model requires consistent, up-to-date content across languages, which makes this approach challenging and not an option.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to develop the Knowledgebase, and we hope you will return for our next feedback loop article not too far in the future! Thank you again for sharing your feedback and helping us improve your gaming experience.
