Travian: Codex Victoria

Travian is turning 15 years old – what a great achievement! And this would've been impossible without you!

So first of all, we want to thank you all for being part of this community. Some of you have been here for a long time! As usual, we want to celebrate this annual anniversary with a special game world.

For those of you who've never heard of it, every year since 2013 we start a unique game world in September to celebrate the game's anniversary. These servers have a very special set of features, which we will explain in detail later.

You might have also noticed that they have their own unique names as well, and these change every year.

In 2015, it was Scattered Empire; then we had Rise of Alliances in 2016, and then Fire and Sand in 2017, and Path to Pandora last year. As you may have guessed by the title of this thread, this year's annual special will be called Codex Victoria.

What will the 2019 annual special involve?

For this year's annual special, we will be keeping five elements of last year's special Path to Pandora and adding three awesome features on top.

The five tribes, the Ancient Europe map, victory points, the new conquering system, and the confederacy system will be kept in this special version.

What are we adding?

Starting from tomorrow, we are going to gradually reveal the three additions to Codex Victoria,but you have time until tomorrow at 13:00 UTC+1 to make a few guesses in this thread about what these three new features could be.

Stay tuned for even more interesting information!

New Building: The Hospital

If you've read Episode 6 of the Ultimate Battle, you might have already guessed what kind of building we are talking about. The hospital will be introduced in Travian: Codex Victoria. This special building gives players a recovery option for troops wounded in combat.

How does it work?

Below you can read some general information about the mechanic behind wounded troops.

What does "wounded" mean here?

A certain percentage of troops killed in combat return to their home village as reinforcements if their home village has a hospital.

Example

• Player P1 has villages V1 and V2. V1 contains a hospital.
• Player P1 reinforces village V1 with troops from V2.
• Player P2 attacks P1's village V1 with from their village V3.
• Troop losses from V1 result in wounded troops, as V1 includes a hospital. Troop losses from V2 are lost entirely, as V2 has no hospital.

How do bandages affected wounded troops?

Wounded troops and bandages are percentages of the same underlying value: all lost troops.

Can all types of troops become wounded?

This can happen to troops T1 - T6. Siege weapons, settlers, and chiefs cannot be wounded.

Can troops be wounded in any type of combat?

When troops are wounded, all participants (including reinforcements) check for their own hospital. If there is a hospital in the troops' home village, it will generate wounded and it doesn't matter how the troops died (defending, raiding, attacking, scouting, or reinforcing).

Wounded are out of combat! What does this mean?

Wounded troops are not considered troops in terms of supply, combat strength, etc.

How about traps?

Troops killed in a trap rescue attempt do not generate wounded.

Wounded in reports / combat simulator

Wounded line: Wounded troops have their own line in the reports, including their own icon.

Combat simulator: The wounded line is shown in the combat simulator, assuming that both the attacker and defender have a hospital.

Wounded after combat

Wounded troops don't starve: The wounded do not eat crop, nor do they starve in the absence of crop.

Wounded in the hospital

How do I heal troops?

When the troops are in the hospital, you can heal them by adding them to the healing queue.

How much does it cost to heal troops?

Troop healing costs exactly as much as training the troops in the barracks or stable.

How much time does it take to heal troops?

Troop healing takes as much time as training the troops in a barracks or stable at the same level as the hospital. For example: the healing time of a hospital at level 1 is the same as the training time of a barracks/stable at level 1, depending on the troop type.

Note: the hospital queue only heals troops one at a time. You need to decide what you want to heal as a priority and queue the troops accordingly.

Do the artifacts for troop training affect the hospital?

No, the troops do not heal faster in the hospital using troop training artifacts like the Trainer's Slight Talent, Trainer's Great Talent, Trainer's Unique Talent, Artifact of the Slight Fool, and Artifact of the Unique Fool.

Does the troop training alliance bonus affect the hospital?

No, the troops do not heal faster in the hospital with the troop training alliance boost, just like the artifacts.

What happens if I don't heal the troops?

Wounded troops will die over time, until they are healed. 10% of the wounded troops die per day.

What happens if the hospital is destroyed?

• Training queue: If the hospital is destroyed, the training queue continues training (like the barracks).
• Wounded: If the hospital is destroyed, the wounded still die at a rate of 10% per day.
• Newly wounded: If the hospital is destroyed, no new wounded troops are recovered. If the hospital is destroyed in a combat event, there will no longer be a hospital to generate wounded troops for the defending player in the event of combat.

What happens if a village containing a hospital is conquered?

If the village is conquered, all the troops are wiped out as normal. Wounded troops are also eliminated. If the building is not catapulted, the building will stay in the village.

Advanced Start

In addition to the new building in Travian: Codex Victoria, you'll be able to start in a snap!

The special Advanced Start will allow you to enjoy the following benefits:

• Your first village will start with all resource fields at level 5
• You'll already own 6 Settlers and enough CP to settle 2 additional villages
  • Note: 9c and 15c cannot be settled with the first 6 Settlers
• The first 2 villages you settle will automatically have all resource fields at level 5 (further villages will have resource fields at level 0)
• You'll be granted 75% of the CP required to settle the fourth village

Don't forget to choose where to send those Settlers wisely!

Onboarding New Players

We haven't forgot about new players – Travian: Codex Victoria will bring something very valuable for them with the onboarding system for new players.

A new contextual help feature will be implemented:

• Opening the UI for the first time will trigger an explanation of the UI elements.
• The aim is to improve help new players come to understand the game.

There are also some changes accompanying this system that are also very interesting for veteran players:

• When the hero levels up, its health is restored (back to 100%). We want to reward the efforts those heroes put into gaining more and more experience in the field.
• The quest rewards and adventure loot are added to the hero inventory. They can no longer be raided, and they will not get lost if the warehouse or granary is full. The resource items can't be sold in auction.
• The tutorial is removed, and the task system will include new quests!

In addition:

• Adventures will never expire
