In the world of Travian Kingdoms, each player has a hero, a strong military unit that can be improved and equipped with powerful items. The Hero does not need to be researched or trained and is available from the start.
The hero can be used to attack or defend, like the other units, but is the only one who can be sent on Adventures to find precious loot as well as to conquer Oasis that will provide bonus resources.
They are attached to your first village by default, but you can control your hero from any one of your own villages. To use your hero from another one of your own villages you must send them as a reinforcement and tick the "Change hero home town" box. Once your hero arrives at the village you sent them to, you will be able to control them from that village.
Depending on your selected tribe, a hero will gain one of the special tribe abilities. These special abilities can not be upgraded by the player:
- Romans
- The hero's strength& increases by 100 points instead of 80 points for each skill point added.
- Gauls
- +5 Speed if mounted
- Teutons
- 20 % “Cranny dip” (also known as “Plunder bonus”) for all units attacking with the hero
When a hero is created they are level 0 and have 0 skill points. Ability levels can be increased up to level 100.
Each time a hero gains a level they earn 4 additional ability points that can be used to increase their 4 ability levels. There is a cap of 400 skill points maximum at level 100.
- Fighting strength:
- Points put into this ability increase the attack and defence value of the hero.
- Please note that your hero counts as cavalry if he is equipped with a horse and as infantry if he is not equipped with a horse.
- Off bonus:
- Points put into this ability increase the attack value of the whole army by 0.2% per point (maximum of 20%).
- This bonus only applies if the hero is attacking with the army.
- Def bonus:
- Points put into this ability increase the defence value of your whole army (meaning all your own troops defending the village - where they come from is unimportant) by 0.2% per point (maximum of 20%)
- This bonus only applies if the hero is defending with the army. Other defending troops not under your control will remain unaffected by this bonus.
- Resources:
- Points put into this ability increase the resource output of the village where the hero is located.
- You can opt to increase the production of one resource only or to evenly spread the bonus across all resources. It still remains one skill. You can freely change that setting.
You can choose a male or female hero and can change the facial characteristics and hair to make it unique.
As you play Travian Kingdoms, you will have the chance to get equipment which will benefit your village or hero and will also change his/her appearance.
In addition, there are a lot of consumables with different effects, which your hero can find.
The hero can be resurrected for resources or with a bucket of water when he dies. The resurrection costs for the hero's depend on its level and tribe. Each day that you wait with resurrecting your hero, the cost and time are reduced by 20% up to a maximum of 80%.
You can find the costs per tribe and level below:
