🧭 General Features New Year’s Special 2024 🧭
Map	Ancient Europe with 87 regions. Artifacts appear within their regions as long as there is a valid spot for them to appear. Traveling over the edge is not possible.
Winning Conditions	The alliance that first constructs a Wonder of the World to level 100 will be announced as the winner of the era.
Tribes	Travian: New Year’s Special 2024 features 6 tribes: Egyptians Huns Teutons Gauls Romans Spartans
Troop merging	Yes – unlimited with resources – Gold usage limited to 50 Gold per day per village. More information is available here.
Troop forwarding	Yes. Details on how to forward troops can be found here. When you forward troops from a harbor village with available ships, you can provide your ship with the selected reinforcements so that they can travel faster. This only works if you forward reinforcements from harbor to another harbor. It doesn’t matter whether the troops belong to you or the other player or whether they originate from a harbor or a regular village. After reinforcements arrive at the target harbor, the ships reappear in the start harbor village immediately.
Advanced start	Your first village will start with all resource fields at level 5. You’ll already own six settlers and enough CP to settle two additional villages. 15-croppers, and 9-croppers can’t be settled as second and third villages. You’ll be granted CP to settle two villages and 75% of the CP difference required to settle the fourth village (the bar will be filled to 3/4). The first two villages you settle will automatically have all resource fields at level 5 (additional villages will be settled with resource fields at level 0 as usual).
No confederacies	Travian: New Year’s Special 2024 is an ultimate battle where everyone fights only for their own alliance. The diplomatic agreements are limited by non-aggression pacts and wars only.
⚓ Harbors and the New Pathfinding ⚓
The Harbors	You will be able to build Harbors in the villages that are located on the shores next to “deep waters.” Harbors, in turn, will allow you to send trade ships and warships when they travel to the other harbors.
Pathfinding	Travelling by ships is possible only between harbors. Leaving the harbor takes 20 min for x1 speed both for the trade ships and warships. For other speeds it’s divided by speed, so for x5 the landing time is 4 minutes.
Trade ships	Trade ships provide additional trading capacity to your harbor village. They do not need merchants to transfer resources and are not limited to 20 units. Trade ships travel at a speed of 12 fields per hour on 1x speed gameworlds for all tribes (multiplied by gameworld speed for other speed gameworlds) when travelling between harbors. Base trade ship capacity for each tribe is the following: Gauls: 2750 resources Teutons: 3000 resources Romans: 2500 resources Egyptians: 2500 resources Spartans: 2750 resources Huns: 3000 resources Speed capacity factor, alliance bonuses and Trade office bonus are applied to the trade ships.
Warships and Decoy warships	Warships and Decoy warships are used for sending armies (attacks, raids, settlers, and reinforcements) with a static speed of 12 fields per hour on x1 speed gameworlds. Warships can carry unlimited number of units that belong to one village. Decoy warships are very similar to warships but can carry only up to 60 units.All movement bonuses (Hero items, Tournament square and artifacts) will apply also to ship movements.

🏠 Spawning and Settling 🏠
Spawning	Spawning will start from the centre like in regular gameworlds and will take into account the selected quadrant upon registration. The later you spawn, the further from the centre your village might appear.
Settling second village (changing tribe)	You can pick the tribe of your second village for your very first settlement. Players can now only pick tribe once with the settlers which are given with Advanced start. If player sends both sets of settlers at the same time, they can select tribe for both sets of settlers, but only the first to land will have a different tribe, the others will belong to the account default tribe. The tribe change only works for the first successful settlement from your spawn village. Make sure that your settlers with changed tribe arrive first to the required coordinates! If the settlement was successful, but later the settled village got destroyed, the feature is not re-enabled.
Settling other villages	When settling a new village, the village created belongs to the tribe of the settler’s village.
Settling on ships	You can send your settlers on ships to found a new village, only if a target is on shore.
Settling location	The whole map will be unlocked for the settling from the start.
