Birthday Bash
Birthday Bash is an annual series of special servers for Travian Kingdoms. Beginning in 2019, every year a special server is launched to celebrate the birthday of Kingdoms.
Birthday Bash 2020
In 2020, there were two international 3x speed servers with night truce as birthday special. As in 2019, these were the first (and to date only) speed servers with night truce at all. Both servers started at 05.05.2020 at 14:00 CEST (UTC+2).
Other features include:
- Community challanges from Halloween Hunt 2019 were re-introduced.
- To reduce the load on the servers, the server has been split into two servers. This is the first special server to use this strategy.
- A new hero item was introduced: Firework rockets. Doing adventures will grant one free firework rocket. They have a visual effect only in your village, but the community challanges included igniting firework rockets for high gold rewards.
