What Is a Travian Bot?

A Travian bot is software that performs the repetitive, time-consuming tasks of Travian: Legends for you — upgrading buildings, training troops, sending raids, managing your hero and moving resources. Instead of logging in every hour to refill the building queue, you set your rules once and the bot carries them out around the clock.

Travian Legends is a deep strategy game, but competing at a high level means being active many hours a day. Most of that time is spent on the same handful of actions. That is exactly the part Travian automation takes over.

How a Cloud Travian Bot Works

Pilot Trav is a cloud-based Travian bot: it runs on our servers, not on your computer. Your PC can be off, your phone can be in a drawer — the bot keeps going.

The basic flow is simple:

1. Add your Travian account to the panel (username, password, server URL) and assign a proxy.

2. Create your build queue — which building, up to which level.

3. Choose which troops to train, and set farming and hero options.

4. Start the bot with one click.

From there, the bot opens the game in a real Chromium browser, checks your build queue and resources, performs the best next action, and checks again after a randomized delay. Every account runs in its own isolated browser, so a problem in one account never affects another.

What Can a Travian Bot Automate?

▸Building upgrades: follow a build queue you define; wait when resources are short and start the moment they are enough.
▸Troop training: keep the Barracks, Stable and Workshop busy with the unit you choose.
▸Hero management: adventures, spending hero resources on construction, attribute points.
▸Research: research units in the Smithy in the order you set.
▸NPC trading: convert excess resources when the granary or warehouse fills up.
▸Farming: start your Farm Lists on a schedule, raid oases with your hero, or use a custom target list without Gold Club.
▸Notifications: Telegram alerts for finished builds, incoming attacks and bot problems.

Is Using a Travian Bot Allowed?

Travian's terms of service prohibit automation, and no bot can promise zero risk. What you can control is how you use it: randomized delays, a proxy for every account, realistic schedules and moderate settings all lower the risk considerably. We cover this in detail in how to reduce Travian bot ban risk.
