# Your Hero

A powerful unit you have from the very start

Every player in **Travian Kingdoms** has a **hero** – a powerful unit available from the very start. Unlike other troops, the hero doesn’t need to be researched or trained.

The hero is more than just a fighter:

-   Can **attack and defend** like any other unit.
    
-   Can go on **Adventures** to find loot.

### Hero’s location

-   By default, your hero is linked to your **first village**.
    
-   You can move them to another village you own by sending them as **reinforcement** and ticking **“Change hero home town.”**
    
-   Once they arrive, the new village becomes their home base.
    

⚠ If a hero loses more than **90% health in a single battle**, they die and must be revived.

### Tribe advantages

Each tribe gives its hero a **unique, non-upgradable bonus**:

-   **Romans**: +100 fighting strength per skill point (instead of +80).
    
-   **Gauls**: +5 speed when mounted.
    
-   **Teutons**: +20% plunder bonus (“cranny dip”) for all units attacking with the hero.

### Attributes

Heroes start at **level 0** with no points.

-   Each level grants **4 attribute points**.
    
-   Maximum: **100 levels** → **400 points total**.
    

Attributes you can upgrade:

-   **Fighting strength** – increases the hero’s personal attack/defense (counts as cavalry if mounted, infantry if not).
    
-   **Attack bonus** – boosts the attack power of the entire attacking army by +0.2% per point (max +20%). Works only if the hero is with the army.
    
-   **Defense bonus** – boosts the defense power of all your own defending troops by +0.2% per point (max +20%). Works only if the hero is defending with your army. Allies’ troops are not affected.
    
-   **Resources** – increases resource production of the hero’s current village. You can set it to one resource type or spread evenly. This setting can be changed at any time.

### Personalization and equipment

-   You can customize your hero’s **gender, face, and hair**.
    
-   Equipment and consumables make your hero stronger, support your villages, or provide special effects.
    
-   Equipment also changes your hero’s appearance.
