Pilot Trav is an automation assistant that performs repetitive in-game tasks — building upgrades, troop training, hero management — automatically in strategy games. It runs 24/7, managing your village on your behalf.

Does Pilot Trav carry a ban risk?

Pilot Trav works to minimize that risk using randomized delays, a real browser fingerprint, proxy support and human-like behavior patterns. Risk is significantly reduced with recommended settings, but never zero.

How does Pilot Trav work?

Pilot Trav is managed from a web-based dashboard. Add your account, set your building queue, choose your troop preferences, and start the assistant. It runs on our server 24/7 — your computer doesn't need to stay on.

Which servers does it work on?

It works on all official servers of the strategy game. COM, DE, TR and other regional servers are supported.

Pilot Trav offers a free trial period. Weekly and monthly paid plans are available. Payment methods: credit card, bank transfer and cryptocurrency.

Can I manage multiple accounts?

Yes. Each account runs isolated in its own browser session. You can set a separate building queue and troop preference for every village.

How is my game account password protected, and how can it be deleted?

Your game account password is stored on our servers encrypted with AES-256, never kept as plain text anywhere. Deleting an account from the dashboard permanently deletes its password from the database. To delete your entire user account, just email support@pilotrav.com — your data is fully deleted within 30 days under GDPR.

Free vs Cloud Travian Bot: Self-Hosted, Extensions and Cloud Compared

Searching for the best Travian bot? An honest comparison of free self-hosted bots from GitHub, browser extensions and cloud-based Travian bots — cost, setup, uptime and support.

What You Find When You Search for a Travian Bot

Search for "travian bot" and you find a few kinds of tools: free, open-source bots on GitHub and SourceForge; browser extensions; and paid cloud services like ours. This is an honest comparison — the goal is to help you pick, not to convince you.

Option 1: Free and Self-Hosted Bots (GitHub, SourceForge)

These are usually built by technical users and are open source. The upside is obvious: they are completely free.

The costs are less obvious:

▸They run on your own computer. You need your PC on and online 24/7. If it sleeps, the power goes out or you shut it down, the bot stops.

▸Setup takes technical knowledge. You usually need to install a programming environment (Python, .NET and so on) and dependencies.

▸Support is limited. If something breaks, you open a GitHub issue and hope the developer answers.

▸Updates are your responsibility. If Travian changes something and the bot breaks, you have to track and install the fix.

Option 2: Browser Extensions

Similar limits apply: your browser has to stay open. Close the tab or let the computer sleep and the automation stops.

Option 3: Cloud Travian Bots (Like Pilot Trav)

The bot runs on our servers, not yours. Your computer's state does not matter. There is nothing to install — you add your account in the panel and set a few options. Updates arrive automatically and you can reach a support team if something goes wrong.

The trade-off: it is not free (apart from the trial).

Comparison Table

Free / self-hosted	Browser extension	Pilot Trav (cloud)
Cost	Free	Usually free	Paid (7-day free trial)
Computer must stay on	Yes	Yes	No
Setup	Technical knowledge	Easy	Easy (via the panel)
Updates	You track them	Varies	Automatic
Support	None or limited (GitHub issues)	Varies	Yes
Multi-account management	Usually manual	Limited	Central panel
Proxy support	You set it up	Usually none	Built in, one per account

Which One Is Right for You?

If you are a developer, happy to keep your own machine or server running 24/7 and want the lowest possible cost, an open-source option can make sense.

If you do not want to deal with setup, and you want your village to keep growing while you sleep, work or travel, a cloud-based Travian bot fits better.

Conclusion

The right tool depends on what you need. Do not decide without trying: you can test Pilot Trav free for 7 days and compare for yourself.
