What Type of Game Is Travian? (Browser-Based MMORTS)

Travian is a browser-based, persistent-world, massively multiplayer online real-time strategy (MMORTS) game.

Core Characteristics

• Browser-Based: No download required; plays in any modern browser.
• Real-Time Strategy: Resource management, village building, troop training, and combat occur in real time—even when you're offline.
• Persistent World: The game world continues evolving 24/7; your village can be attacked while you sleep.
• Tribes: Choose Romans (balanced), Gauls (defensive/cavalry), or Teutons (offensive/infantry).
• Alliance & Diplomacy: Core to late-game; form confederacies, NAPs, and coordinate wars.
• Endgame: Wonder of the World race—alliances compete to build and defend a Wonder to level 100.

Modern Context

Travian: Legends (classic) and Travian Kingdoms (streamlined) are the current versions. Free-to-play with optional gold purchases for convenience (queue building, NPC merchant, etc.).
