Travian is a browser-based game (MMOG) developed in Germany. Here you can compete with thousands of other players in an ancient online world.

A browser-based game is played directly on a website. No downloads, installations or plugins are required. After your registration you can start the game without any delay. It is free to play the game.

You start as chief of a small village, either as martial Teuton, peaceful Gaul or proud Roman. Then it is your task to expand your village, trade with your neighbours, find friends and build alliances against your foes. Each tribe has its own advantages and disadvantages and their troop types are very different, too. So it is important to choose the tribe that fits to you playstyle.

There are four different types of resources in Travian: wood, clay, iron and crop. Before you expand your village's buildings, one must develop some resource fields to gain new resource supplies.

The game shares some similarities with the board game Settlers of Catan: the board is shaped similarly, tiles are hexes, and each tile generates resources of a unique type. However, these similarities are only on the surface. The game is more one of managing resources and a complex build tree, and players do not directly compete for resources as they are generated. Unusually for an online browser-based game, tiles continuously generate resources at evenly spaced intervals. For example, if 30 wood are produced per hour, one is made every 2 minutes rather than 30 on the hour change.
