Choosing your tribe is one of the first decisions you'll make after joining a game world. While every tribe can grow into a powerful empire and help its kingdom achieve victory, they each offer a different playstyle and learning experience.
There is no "best" tribe. The right choice depends on how you enjoy playing Travian Kingdoms.
Gauls are often considered the most beginner-friendly tribe. They excel at defense, have fast merchants, and can recover well from early attacks thanks to their larger Crannies and unique Trapper building.
Although they are known for their defensive strengths, they also have fast cavalry, allowing experienced players to become effective raiders later in the game.
Choose the Gauls if you...
are playing Travian Kingdoms for the first time.
prefer a safer and more forgiving start.
enjoy defending your kingdom.
like a flexible tribe that can adapt to different situations.
Romans are a balanced tribe with powerful troops and a strong economy. Their unique ability to construct a resource field and a building at the same time allows them to develop efficiently throughout the game.
Their troops are expensive and require careful planning, making them slightly more challenging for new players. Once established, however, Romans are equally capable in offense and defense.
Choose the Romans if you...
enjoy planning and developing your villages efficiently.
want a balanced tribe with strong long-term potential.
don't mind a slower start in exchange for a powerful economy.
Teutons are the most aggressive tribe. Their inexpensive troops can be trained quickly, making them excellent raiders from the very beginning of the game.
An active playstyle is important. Teutons perform best when regularly attacking other players and making full use of their military strengths.
Choose the Teutons if you...
enjoy aggressive gameplay.
like raiding other villages for resources.
prefer building large offensive armies.
are comfortable playing an active military role.
If you're unsure which tribe to choose, these recommendations are a good starting point:

Recommended tribe
Learn the game in a forgiving environment | Gauls |
Build a balanced empire with strong long-term potential | Romans |
Focus on raiding and aggressive expansion | Teutons |
Remember that your tribe does not determine whether you'll succeed. Cooperation with your kingdom, good planning, and an active playstyle are far more important than your initial choice.
No. Once you've chosen a tribe, it cannot be changed during that game world.
If you'd like to try another tribe, you'll need to create a new avatar on a different game world or start over with a new avatar.
