Travian: Legends is a persistent, browser-based, massively multiplayer, online real-time strategy game developed by the German software company Travian Games.[1] It was originally written and released in June 2004 as "Travian" by Gerhard Müller. Set in classical antiquity, Travian: Legends is a predominantly militaristic real-time strategy game.

Travian has been translated into over 40 languages from the original German version,[1][2] and at one time boasted over 5 million players on over 300 game servers worldwide.[3][4][5] In 2006, it won the Superbrowsergame Award, in the large games category.[1][4][6][7]

Travian: Legends is programmed in PHP and runs in most modern browsers. Its creators may have drawn from an earlier German board game, The Settlers of Catan, for layout[8] and the resource development theme.
