The role of the governor
The governor is the most common role in a Travian Kingdoms game world.
It is ideal for beginners and for players who want to be part of a kingdom without the responsibilities of leadership.
Governors support their kingdom’s growth, defend its members, and contribute to its economy.
| A governor can be part of a kingdom or remain independent. Every governor can be promoted to duke by the king or vice-king. If you choose to be a governor and later wish to become a king, you can found your own kingdom through the Embassy by selecting the round kingdom button. In this case you must not already hold a leadership position, and no Wonder of the World may have reached level 50. |
Governor Features
- Robber hideouts will appear around your capital village from time to time.
- You can obtain stolen goods and resources from them. They are not visible to any other player.
- Stolen goods can be sold to your king, vice-king, or duke in exchange for resources.
- If your village is outside any kingdom borders, you can sell them to the Bandit Chief.
However, it is strongly recommended to sell stolen goods inside your own kingdom:- Only then will you receive crop as part of the reward.
- Only then will the stolen goods be converted into treasures, which increase your kingdom’s victory points.
- Governors generate tributes for their kingdom’s leadership (king, vice-king, or duke).
- These tributes are collected from the tribute fund of the governor’s village.
- If a governor village is attacked, the tribute stock is looted first, before the village’s own warehouse.
The Governor’s role in the Kingdom
The governor helps the king and contributes to the expansion of the kingdom by:
- Attacking robbers and selling stolen goods to the kingdom.
- Selling stolen goods within the kingdom ensures you receive crop and that the goods are converted into treasures.
- Producing tributes that the king, vice-king, or duke can collect.
- Cooperating with the other kingdom's members.
- Taking part in the offensive and defensive actions of the kingdom.
Switching Kingdoms
A governor can change kingdoms in the following ways:
- Influence-based invitation
If at least one of your villages lies within the borders of another kingdom, its king can send you an invitation to join. - Menhir relocation
A foreign king can invite you to relocate your village into their kingdom using the menhir system.
To switch kingdoms, you must accept the invitation in your embassy.
