The world map
A successful strategy in Travian Kingdoms often relies on careful analysis of your surroundings. The world map is filled with valuable – and sometimes crucial – information that can significantly impact your decisions.
The map provides a dynamic overview of the entire game world. As new players join or new villages are settled, the map grows accordingly. If available tiles become too scarce, the map expands by 10 tiles in each direction.

Zoom levels overview
The map features three zoom levels, each offering different insights into the game world:
Zoom Level 1 - High Detail View
This is the most detailed zoom level, allowing you to focus on your immediate neighborhood. You will see game messages about events and troop movements near your villages.
Zoom Level 2 – Expanded Kingdom View
This level offers a broader overview, showing:
- Kingdom borders
- Oases
- Capitals
- Your personal map markers
Zoom Level 3 – Strategic Region View
This zoom level displays large-scale information for strategic planning, including:
- Population density
- Conflict zones
- Treasure locations
- Cropfields (9-crop = single grain icon, 15-crop = double grain icon)
Only at this zoom level can you search for crop fields using the "Croplands" filter.
