Travian Troop Training and Research

What it does

Village settings handle Barracks, Stable, Workshop, Great Barracks, Great Stable, Hospital, Academy, and Smithy. Training runs last in a village pass. Hospital attempts to heal wounded rows. Academy and Smithy start at most one research per check. The Tools break-even calculation helps a player compare one unit’s upgrade cost but never controls the bot.

How it works

Training waits a random repeat interval and visits each selected existing building. It reads trainable count, skips below the selected minimum unless Train even when resources are low is enabled, chooses a random amount constrained by availability, trains, then checks the queue. Hold troop training if building needs resources skips after a construction shortfall. Hospital checks gid 46 on its timer and attempts all wounded rows or the chosen position. Academy gid 22 and Smithy gid 13 check every four hours, try priorities in order, or choose the first enabled row if all are off. UI selections store troop ids but the engine uses them as list positions, so verify actual research in Travian. Break-even supports one unit and levels 0–20, showing power, upgrade cost, cost per point, and a break-even troop count.

Pilotrav works in cycles, so an interval is a minimum rather than an exact alarm. A normal cycle waits 60 to 180 seconds after account work. Saved settings are loaded on the next cycle, but page loading, earlier work, game queues, resources, troops, merchants, and Travian rules can defer an action. A log records the observed game flow, not a permanent result. Review the relevant Travian page after important sends. No tool is risk-free and no configuration removes account risk.

Military settings share several practical timing rules. The bot normally checks an account’s settings at the beginning of a cycle. It then handles time-sensitive dodge and folder work before incoming attack detection, farm lists, hero work, and the per-village work that includes raid protection, research, training, and Hospital. Consequently, a later action can be delayed by an earlier eligible action or by a slow game page. A configured feature with no available troop, resource, merchant, building, button, or valid target is skipped and reconsidered later according to its own timing rules.

Use the Logs page to separate a configured intention from a completed game action. A message that says not due, unavailable, skipped, or waiting normally leaves configuration in place; it does not mean Pilotrav will reserve troops, resources, or merchants for that feature. Conversely, a confirmed send consumes the game resources that Travian accepted, which can affect later work in that same or the next cycle. Avoid conflicting plans, verify the first real action for a new setting, and keep enough time between a planned action and a game deadline. Telegram notices require a connected chat and the matching notification type. The bot acts through the account’s own browser session, but that does not override Travian’s server checks or its game rules.

Settings

Setup in 5 steps

1. Build the relevant building and unlock intended units.

2. Select troop and MIN/MAX amount per training building.

3. Set training resource behaviour.

4. Enable Hospital, Academy, or Smithy only where built.

5. Verify the first queue or research; use break-even separately.

Requirements

Limits and what it does not do

Common problems

“Train troop: insufficient resources in (max=.. < min=..), skipping” means wait or lower amounts. “unit not found (may not be unlocked yet)” and “train button not found” need prerequisites. “clicked for xN but not showing in queue, needs checking” requires verification. Hospital may report “not found”, “no wounded troops”, or “heal button not found”. Research can report “insufficient resources”, “no upgrade button”, or “position P is not in the list”.
