Greetings once again! Today, we turn our focus to the heart and soul of your army: the Hero. This singular unit, more powerful than any other in your ranks, can turn the tide of battle, seize vital resources, and explore the dangerous yet rewarding path of Adventures. With careful management, your Hero will not only survive but thrive.
So, tighten your armor, sharpen your blade, and lend me your ears as we delve into your Hero’s potential.
Your Hero is born ready for battle and available from the very beginning. Unlike other troops, the Hero requires no research or training to join your cause. Their capabilities extend beyond mere combat prowess:
Battlefield Command: The Hero’s Fighting Strength enhances their own combat power, making them a formidable opponent in both attack and defense. Vital for those who frequently engage in combat.
Leadership Bonuses: Skill points invested in Offense or Defense Bonuses can turn the tide of battle when fighting alongside your army.
Resource Production: The Hero can boost resource production, a crucial ability in the early stages of your village's development. You can choose to boost a specific resource or spread the bonus evenly.
Adventurer: Only the Hero can embark on Adventures that offer valuable rewards and experience.
“A true commander knows when to wield the sword and when to till the soil. You must become a master of both.”
Early Game: Focus on Resource Production to kickstart your economy. Allocate some points to Fighting Strength to ensure your Hero survives early battles and Adventures.
Mid to Late Game: Shift points into Offense or Defense Bonus depending on your strategic focus. Reassign points using the Book of Wisdom to adapt as needed.
Healing and Revival: Use Ointments to heal your Hero after battles or Adventures. Keep some on hand at all times. Should the worst happen and your Hero falls in battle, you can revive them using resources. The cost and time decrease daily if you wait, but never let your Hero languish in the afterlife for too long.
“A wise warrior is not rigid like the oak but bends like the willow.”
Your Hero settles down in your first village, but they can gather belongings and move to any of your villages. Send them as a reinforcement and select the “Change hero home town” option. This is invaluable for:
Defending Key Villages: Position your Hero where they are needed most.
Boosting Production: Assign them to a resource-focused village to enhance output.
Leading Offensives: Place your Hero in your offensive stronghold, ready to lead the charge.
“A dead Hero is a useless Hero, and an immobile Hero is like a blade left in its scabbard."
Adventures are perilous journeys that yield great rewards. Your Hero will face the wild, discover hidden treasures, and occasionally suffer the consequences of their bravery. It’s a rite of passage that every Hero must endure.
Your Hero’s first prize is a trusty Gelding, a welcome companion. This horse increases your Hero's speed.
Next, you’ll receive 50 Ointments, invaluable for healing the wounds your Hero will inevitably suffer in their journeys.
The Book of Wisdom will allow you to reset your Hero’s skill points, a priceless tool for adapting your strategy.
With 15 Cages, you can capture nature troops to bolster your village defenses. Animals consume no crop.
Boots of the Chicken, which allows your Hero to flee from losing battles automatically and take troops along.
A haul of 350 Silver to add to your coffers, which can be used in the auction house or traded for gold.
Finally, the grand reward: 2,400 Resources in total. Use this bonanza wisely to accelerate your growth.
The road ahead is fraught with danger and mystery, yet it is also paved with treasures and opportunities beyond imagination! I urge you to continue exploring. Let me share the potential spoils that await and how they can aid you in your quest.
Nothing but experience
Yes, it is true; sometimes, the path leads to nothing but experience. While some might find this discouraging, remember that even when no tangible reward is gained, your Hero still learns and grows stronger.
“Even when the hand is empty, the heart is full of knowledge gained and lessons learned.”
The Book of Wisdom to rebuild your Hero
This invaluable tome allows you to reset your Hero’s skill points. Perhaps you need to shift from economic growth to martial strength, or from offense to defense. The Book of Wisdom gives you the power to change course at any moment.
Equipment to build your armory
From weapons to armor, helmets to boots, equipment enhances your Hero’s abilities and survivability. Each piece can make the difference between victory and defeat. Equip your Heroes wisely, and they will become unstoppable.
Resources to build and grow
There is no reward more practical than resources. They are the lifeblood of your empire. Every bundle of wood, clay, iron, and crop brings your dreams of a mighty kingdom closer to reality.
“A wise ruler knows that every tree felled, every clay pit dug, and every field harvested is worth something.”
Silver for auctions
Silver allows you to trade in the auction house, bid on rare and powerful items, or turn your pocket change for gold.
Troops as reinforcements
Receiving reinforcements can be a game-changer. Whether it’s a band of gallant swordsmen or stalwart spearmen, these troops can defend your lands or join your conquests. Each unit is a testament to your Hero’s leadership.
“An army is the arm of the kingdom, and every soldier is a finger that clenches into a fist.”
Cages to tame wild beasts
With cages, your Hero can capture nature troops from oases. These wild creatures will fight fiercely to defend your village without consuming your precious crop.
Artwork to inspire masses
Artwork inspires your people, boosts your culture, and allows you to expand faster. It can be sold for a handsome price, but its true value lies in speeding up the growth of your kingdom, enabling you to settle more villages and claim more territory.
Ointment for the bruising
In the heat of battle, your Hero will suffer wounds. Ointments are the balm that heals these wounds, restoring your Hero to fighting strength. Always keep a stockpile to ensure your Hero is ready for the next challenge.
Bucket of awakeup call
A bucket is full of precious water that can bring your Hero back from the dead, instantly. No cost, no delay, just a swift splash.
Scrolls are power
Scrolls increase your Hero’s experience, speeding their journey toward the next level. Use them wisely, and your Hero will rise through the ranks fast as a Gelding he rides.
Bandages to mend bones
Bandages recover a percentage of your fallen troops after a battle. This can be a crucial resource after a hard-fought victory, allowing you to rebuild your forces quickly and strike again before the enemy has time to recover.
Heed my words: do not let your Hero languish in the comfort of the village. Send them forth to explore, to conquer, to find the treasures. The world of Travian Kingdoms is vast, and every adventure, no matter the outcome, brings your Hero closer to their true potential.
Tacticus out.
