Expansion is to found new villages, conquer enemy villages and [[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] cities as well as [[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] found cities.

== General ==

There are three different types of expansion: Founding new villages, conquering existing villages and [[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] upgrading villages to cities. All of them require free culture point slots and possibly the training of an expansion unit.  Here is a quick overview for the different types of expansions:

{| class="wikitable"
! Expansion || Availability|| # Culture Slots || Expansion Units
|-
| Founding a new village || [[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] [[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] || 1 || 3 Settlers
|-
| Conquering a village || [[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] [[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] || 1 || 1 Chief of your tribe
|-
| Conquering a city || [[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] || 2 || 1 Chief of your tribe
|-
| Upgrading to a city || [[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] || 1 || - 
|}

Note, that cities are exclusive to Kingdoms and do not exist in Travian: Legends, therefore the corresponding expansion types do not exist in Travian: Legends either.

== Settling ==

The easiest way to expand is to found a new village, also called settling. This is the way you will expand at the start of the game, as the other options are infeasible for young accounts. In order to found a new village you need to train three settlers and gather a free culture slot first. If you aquired both, you can look at the map to search for a suitable field to send your settlers to. As soon as they arrive, they found a new village for you to control. Your new village will adapt the field's resource field distribution, so it's definitely worth to pay attention to it.

[[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] In Travian: Legends, a freshly settled village will start with no buildings and all resource fields level 0, except for a main building level 1. In the birthday special Codex Victoria, the resource fields start on level 5 for the first two settlements.

[[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] In Travian: Legends, you need to pay 750 resources per type to send the settlers on their way. This is '''not''' required in Kingdoms.

[[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] In Kingdoms, a freshly settled village will start with a main building level 1 and all resource fields level 1.

== Conquering ==

Conquering is more challanging than settling, but also more rewarding, because you get to keep the buildings and resource fields of the previous owner. In order to conquer a village (or city) from another player, you need to lower its loyalty to 0 by attacking (not raiding) with conquering units (commonly called chiefs). If your chiefs survive the attack, they will lower the loyalty afterwards.

However, in order to be able to lower the loyalty, you need to meet certain requirements:
* The target village (or city) may not have a residence, palace, wonder of the world or [[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] command center.
* You must have at least one culture point for villages and [[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] at least two for cities.
* You may not be restricted by the pushing protection.
* [[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] In Kingdoms, your kingdom may not have [[Kingdom#grant_protection|granted protection]] in the past 72 hours.

As soon as the loyalty hits 0, following happens:
* The village (or city) changes its owner and you are in control of it now.
* The conquered village (or city) loses all of its research progress in academy and smithy.
* All troops, that had their home there, die immediately. 
* The village adapts its tribe to the conquering player ([[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] except for birthday special versions).
* If the conquering player has more inhabitants than the victim, every resource field and every building loses one level, if it's at least level 2.
* One chief will join the village as leader and not be useable or visible anymore.
* The survivors of the attack will stay in the village as regular reinforcement.

After conquering, the loyalty stays at 0 at first. You can gain the loyalty back by building a residence or palace ([[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] or command center). The higher its level, the faster the loyalty increase. The loyalty will naturally increase only up to 100% ([[File:Kingdoms Logo.png|16px]] 200% for cities).

[[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] In Travian: Legends, you can use tables of law to increase loyalty instantly and to up to 125% for villages.

=== Loyalty Mechanics ===

{| class="wikitable" style="float: right; margin-left: 18px;"
|+ Base loyalty ranges:
|-
! Tribe || Min || Max
|- 
| Romans || 20 || 30
|- 
| Teutons || 20 || 25
|-
| Gauls || 20 || 25 
|-
| [[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] Egypts || 20 || 25
|-
| [[File:Legends Logo.png|16px]] Huns || 15 || 30
|}

There are many factors to consider, when it comes to lowering loyalty. You can see all factors in the order they are applied in the following table with this example: An teuton attacker with 3000 population, big party, active brewery and 2 surviving chiefs attacks a defender with 1000 population, without parties.

{| class="wikitable"
|- 
! Factor || Explaination || Example
|-
| Tribe of the attacker || Each tribe has different chiefs which have different minimum and maximum values. || 20-25 base loyalty
|-
| Randomness || Each chief has a minimum and maximum value of loyalty he can lower. The actual amount is purely random between those values. || e.g. 23 is selected by random
|-
| Big Parties on both sides || A big party of the attacking village increases the base loyalty lowering per chief by 5 while a big party of the defending village decreases the base loyalty by the same amount. || +5 for attacker (big party) = 28<br />&plusmn;0 for defender (no parties) = 28
|-
| Amount of surviving chiefs || The base loyalty is multiplied by the amount of surviving chiefs. || 2 * 28 = 56
|-
| Brewery || A running brewery party in the account of the attacker halfes the effectiveness of all surviving chiefs. || 56 / 2 = 28
|-
| Morale || If the attacker has more population than the defender, chiefs only <math>(\frac{defender\ population}{attacker\ population})^{0.2}</math> effective, up to a malus of 33.3%. || 28 * (1000/3000)^(0.2) &asymp; 22.5
|}

{{SwitchVersion|kingdoms='''Special rule for the [[Halloween Hunt]]:''' Big parties that are held within the mist will give a loyalty bonus of +11 or -11 instead of &plusmn;5.}}

In this example, the chiefs would have lowered the loyalty by 22.5.

== Founding Cities (Kingdoms) ==

''{{SwitchVersion|kingdoms=This section describes Cities in Kingdoms. For Cities in Travian: Legends see [[City (Legends)|here]]}}''

Founding cities is a new way to expand and was introduced in Travian Kingdoms, as an alternative to founding a new village. Cities are basically upgraded villages. Upgrading a village to a city grants the following benefits:

* Resource fields can be upgraded to up to level 12 (instead of usually 10) - this does not apply for the capital, as fields can be upgraded indefinitely there anyway.
* Loyalty can be increased up to 200 and will be increased by 100 instantly upon upgrading a village to a city.
* A city has 500 bonus inhabitants
* A city gets +200 culture points per day (+500 if it's the capital)
* A city can build a water ditch, great barracks and great stable

Upgrading a village to a city is simple, you just need to click the upgrade button in the main building and confirm your decision. There are a few requirements to meet though:

* You need a free culture slot
* The village has to have at least 500 inhabitants

Upgrading can only be undone by decreasing its population to below 1000. Then, the city is automatically downgraded to a village.

== Culture Slots ==

You need culture points in order to grow your empire and obtain more villages {{SwitchVersion|kingdoms=and cities}}. After certain tresholds, a new culture slot is unlocked, which allows the control of an additional village. [[Culture Points|Culture points]] and slots are never consumed, but only occupied as long as the village or city belongs to you. Losing a village or city, or downgrading a city back to a village, will free the corresponding culture slots, such that they can be used again.

You can see your culture points in the residence, palace {{SwitchVersion|legends=or command centre}}. There, you can see how many culture points you need for the next culture slot aswell.

== Expansion Slots ==

== Trivia ==

* You can send away your settlers, then use the culture slot and then gather a new slot before they arrive, and they will settle as usual.
* If you send your settlers to a free field, which gets occupied by another player before your settlers arrive, they will return upon arriving.
* Troops, that are killed, because their home village is conquered, do not grant offpoints.
* It is possible for a roman attacker to conquer a village in one attack, if he's celebrating a large party while the attacker isn't. When conquering a larger player (in terms of population), this has a chance of 19.4% to work. {{SwitchVersion|kingdoms=[[Halloween Hunt]]'s mist bonus increases this chance to 77.4%.}}
