How to Build Custom Automation Workflows in Travian

Open the Workflows page

Open Workflows in the sidebar to see every workflow on the account.

• Click New workflow to start a blank one.
• Each card shows its trigger and last run status.
• Toggle the switch to arm or disarm a workflow.
• Hit Run now to fire it once, ignoring the trigger.

Build a program from blocks

A workflow is a list of blocks that run top to bottom. Drag to reorder, and select a block to configure it in the side panel.

• Each action block wraps one automation task and exposes that task's own settings.
• Duplicate, disable, or delete a block from its row.
• A disabled block stays in the list but is skipped on each run.

Add actions and control flow

Click Add block to open the palette, grouped into actions and control blocks.

• Actions run one task: start all or one farm list, train troops, NPC exchange, refresh storage, upgrade a building, send resources, start a celebration, dodge or recall troops, swap the hero helmet, scan a tracked player, tune farm troops, or collect daily rewards.
• A few actions skip the game window entirely and update your account straight away: apply a build plan template to a village, and set up or pause a supply line between two villages.
• Control shapes the flow: If / Else, Repeat a fixed number of times, and For each over villages, farm lists, or tracked players.
• Utility covers Wait, Log message, Set variable, and Stop.

Tip: Start from a ready-made template instead of an empty workflow. New village kickstart applies a build plan and sets up a supply line the moment a new village settles. Pick your template and donor village after creating it.

Branch on conditions

An If / Else block runs its then branch only when a condition holds, and its else branch otherwise.

• Conditions read live account state: resource amount, building level, incoming attack, idle troops, hero at home, time of day, and more.
• Pick a village or Any village for village-scoped checks.
• Combine an If with a For each to react per village, for example top up crop only where it dips below a threshold.

Tip: Put a Log message at the end of a branch so its run history tells you which path fired.

Use variables and live game state

A Set variable block can set a fixed value, copy another variable, read live game state, or calculate one from the other two.

• Live game state reads current gold, silver, hero health, culture points, village storage and production, troop counts, merchants available, build queue length, and incoming attacks. Pick a village for village-scoped reads.
• A calculation adds, subtracts, multiplies, divides, or takes the minimum or maximum of two values. Each side can itself be a fixed value, a variable, or game state.
• Every reading shows how stale it is, for example "As of last scan, 12m ago", so you know how fresh the number is.
• Reference a variable or game state in a Log message with {name}, for example a message like "Crop at {village} is now {cropLevel}".

Tip: Use a calculation to keep a running total, for example adding troops trained to a counter variable each time a loop runs.

Choose a trigger and run it

The Trigger section decides when the workflow runs.

• Manually fires only when you press Run now.
• On a repeating interval runs every N seconds, with a 300-second floor and optional jitter to vary the timing.
• On a schedule (cron) runs at cron times in your account timezone.
• On a game event fires when something happens, for example a building finishing, your hero returning home, or a new village settling.

Trigger on a game event

Pick On a game event, then choose which event.

• Events that carry data, like New village settled, show which fields it provides (village id, name, x, y) and let you save each one to a variable.
• For New village settled you can also limit the trigger to one exact coordinate, so a workflow only fires for a village you plan to settle at that spot.
• A cooldown (default 300 seconds, minimum 60) stops the workflow firing again too soon after it finishes.

Arm the workflow with the switch on its card. While it runs, the editor highlights the current block and the run history panel records each attempt.
