Vouchers:

Hero items:

  • 200 Cages
  • 1 Halloween mask

Resources:

  • 3x Medium pile of wood
  • 3x Medium pile of clay
  • 3x Medium pile of iron

The offer can be activated only once and costs 70 gold.

Visual only effects

  • Heroes are zombified
  • Total eclipse: The map is permanently dark, as it is on night truce servers to indicate night truce (there is NO night truce on the server though, it is a visual only)

    • After reaching a milestone, a reward is given to all current players on the server.
  • New Achievement: Trick and Treat
    • Obtainable by adding someone, who already has the achievement, as a friend.
    • Presumably, Travian Team members were the "origin of the virus", but you can obtain it from anyone who has it
    • It is still obtainable
  • New Achievment: Zombies never die [5]
    • Was granted to all players in the end of HaHu 2019, as apology for the severe server lags in the beginning of the server.
