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 2021 ==

In 2021, there were once again two different 3x speed night truce servers, this time with different night truce timezones: UTC+0 and UTC-5. As with all night truce servers, the truce holds between 00:00 and 08:00 of the respective timezone.

The community chose to name the servers EUx3n and USx3n and 10x 25 gold was raffled between all participants who voted for the end result.<ref>https://forum.kingdoms.com/index.php?thread/28074-birthday-bash-2021-on-may-18th-which-name-should-the-worlds-get/</ref>

=== Server Setup ===

=== Firework Rockets ===

Birthday Bash 2021 also made use of firework rockets, that could be already lit in 2020. But while in 2020 their only use was some optical effect for the village during the night truce time and submission to the community challanges, in 2021 the inhabitants of the village would show thankful for the fireworks and bring gifts to show their admiration of the fireworks, after the night truce ended.

In 2021, fireworks can be upgraded to super fireworks. That requires 10 fireworks and one black powder. Igniting super fireworks may unlock special cosmetics exclusive to birthday bash 2021; the first super firework lit by an account also guarantees a cosmetic. Super fireworks count as 10 fireworks towards the community challanges, but only as 1 firework towards achievements. <ref>https://forum.kingdoms.com/index.php?thread/28277-changelog-v0-100-the-birthday-bash-2021/</ref>

As with 2020, fireworks could be obtained by completing adventures. Additionally, starting celebrations in the town hall, settling new villages or conquering villages and cities grant fireworks aswell. Some special offers in the shop also contain fireworks, black powder or super fireworks.

Fireworks and super fireworks in 2021 can be stockpiled to automatically ignite them during the night truce time. Each village can fire up to 48 (super) fireworks per day.

You can receive one of the following rewards per firework lit per night:

* Gold
* Silver
* Free card games
* Black powder
* Piles of resources
* Consumeables from the card game (e.g. vouchers for NPC trader, bonus adventures, ...)
* Other regular consumeable hero items (e.g. bandages, ointments, cages, ...)

Fireworks, black powder, super fireworks and piles of resources can '''not''' be sold in the auction house, not even to the NPC.

In 2020, there were two international 3x speed servers with night truce as birthday special. As in 2019, these were the first speed servers with night truce at all, to this day speed with night truce is unique to birthday bash servers. Both servers started at 05.05.2020 14:00 CEST (GMT+2).

Other features include:

* Community challanges from [[Halloween Hunt|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.

In 2019, the special consisted of (relatively regular) 3x speed servers for most local (non-com) domains, that started on 23.04.2019. 23rd April was chosen to celebrate the birthday of Saint George, despite first Kingdoms servers having already started in march 2015. Also a 1x speed server with night truce was launched for COM on 07.05.2019.

* This where the first local 3x speed servers since several years.
* This was the first international server with night truce.

Beside the celebration servers, several other perks were published around the birthday servers:

** The link was valid until 30.04.2019
** The link worked only via browser

* Forum contests were held: A TG Team controlled village was spawned in each gameworld on (-7|-1), where troops would occassionally spawn. The goal was to attack the village, kill some troops and post the reports in the forum. After 1000 troops were killed, the following rewards were unlocked.
** Three new achievements were unlocked
** All players on the birthday gameworlds got a special achievement
** Participants in the forum got some gold and books of wisdoms

The four achievements mentioned are:

* Birthday Bash: Special achievement for achieving the contest goals
