# Dual & Sitter

Share control of your avatar with trusted players

Being active is key in Travian Kingdoms. If you can’t always be online, you can share control of your avatar with trusted players. There are **two ways** to do this:

-   **Duals** – players who share full control of your avatar.
    
-   **Sitters** – players with limited, customizable access.
    

You can use both options together.

## Duals

Best for long-term co-management of your avatar.

-   A **Dual** has a Travian Kingdoms lobby account but does **not** need to play in the same game world.
    
-   They play your avatar as if it were their own, with almost the same rights as you.
    
-   Up to **2 Duals** can be set for your avatar.

## Sitters

Best for short absences or complementary activity.

-   A Sitter also has a lobby account and may have their own avatar in the same world. If another player receives an “account is not verified” error when trying to add you as a Sitter, they should contact Support directly with a full screenshot showing the error and the exact game world/server where both accounts are playing.
    
-   You decide which actions they are allowed (or not allowed) to perform:
    
-   Raid other players (Default)
    
-   Send reinforcements to foreign villages (Default)
    
-   Send resources to foreign villages (Default)
    
-   Buy and spend Gold
    
-   (Vice) Kings only: Dismissing members
    
-   Recommended: Choose sitters from your **kingdom** who play at different times than you.
    
-   Up to **2 Sitters** can be set for your avatar.
    

Hint: A sitter can only send raids, not attacks.

## Setting or Removing Duals/Sitters

1.  Go to your **Lobby page**.
    
2.  Click the name of your **game world**.
    
3.  Add or remove a Dual/Sitter.
    

**Note:** You cannot restrict Dual actions (they always have full control).

## Playing as a Dual or Sitter

-   You can access another player’s avatar only when an active Sitter connection exists. If you cannot access the avatar, ask the owner to check their Sitter settings and add you again. Customer Support cannot add a Sitter; the owner must do this directly.
    
-   Click **Continue Playing** to enter the avatar.
    
-   End the relationship anytime by clicking the **trash can icon**.

## Important Rule

The only safe way to share your avatar is through the **Dual and Sitter features**.  
**Never share your account password**—this is forbidden and very risky.

**Tip:** Regular communication with your Duals and Sitters ensures smooth cooperation and avoids mistakes.
