When you start a new round, you may find your initial spot is not as great as you expected. Or maybe you made a mistake when selecting the tribe or the quarter of the map. You want to restart the game.
You can abandon that avatar and create a new one in another place easily, automatically, within the same lobby account, using the respawn avatar feature.
How it works
Click the cog icon 
in the top corner to open options. Select “avatar” tab and follow the instructions in the “respawn avatar” section. Note that you need to write word respawn in the input field.
Next, you can select map quarter and tribe. Immediately afterwards, you will get a new avatar with the same name, but a completely new village in a new spot on the map. Your progress from the previous avatar is not transferred, you start fresh from the beginning.
Restrictions
- Players can only abandon avatars during its beginner’s protection period (including extended)
- The feature is disabled after the gameworld registration is closed (when it’s no longer possible to create new avatars on the gameworld).
- Not possible once player unlocks auction (goes through 10 adventures)
- Not possible if avatar is currently on deletion
- Not possible after settling a new village
Gold
Purchased Gold:
Gold transfer for the purchased gold will work the same way as if you deleted your avatar except it will be done immediately and not after 72 hours like with the normal deletion process.
Gold club, wave builder purchase, NPC-trade, instant completion etc is not compensated after respawning. The remaining time of activated Travian Plus and resource bonuses are refunded with the gold.
What is different:
One time offer (OTO, 150 non-transferrable gold purchase for the lowered price) is suggested only once. Purchased gold in this case will be transferred to new avatar but player will not again receive another one-time offer for the same gameworld.
More information about gold transfer you can find here: Gold Transfer
Start and quest gold:
The spent ‘free’ gold is not compensated, and it is subtracted from the start gold of the new avatar.
That means that a new avatar after respawning might start the game with the negative gold amount.
Example:
The player registered an avatar with 30 start gold and completed a quest for an additional 100 gold.
Then player used this gold as following for non-refundable actions:
- 9 gold for NPC
- 20 gold for instant completion
- 50 gold for wave-builder
- 130 – 79 = 51 gold left on players’ avatar
When player respawns the start gold will be:
30 – 79 (spent for previous non-refundable actions) = –49
After player completes a quest for 100 gold on the new avatar, the gold will be:
–49 start gold +100 quest gold = 51 gold
Abandoned avatar
If your old avatar was less than an hour old, it is immediately deleted.
If the avatar is older, it is removed from your lobby account and cannot be accessed anymore, but it stays in the game with some randomly generated name. It may be deleted automatically later.
What else?
- The avatar respawn can only be initiated by the account owner, and not a dual.
- After respawning the assigned dual is automatically moved to the new avatar.
- If the old avatar already joined an alliance, the new one would respawn in the same alliance.
Differences on Beta Northern Legends
The respawn feature is still “work-in-progress» and some features at start will behave differently from how it will be in the future. Please, consider that when you test it to avoid unnecessary start gold losses.
- Start gold on Northern Legends beta is increased from 30 to 200.
- The gold club is transferred to the new avatar together with the activated resource bonuses.
- The remaining time of activated Travian plus is lost if the respawn happened within the first 24 hours after account registration and not compensated.
- If respawn happens after the first 24h (when initial 24h-free Travian Plus expired) Travian Plus is also transferred to the new avatar.
Note, that both on regular worlds and on Beta spent ‘free’ gold is not compensated, and it is subtracted from the start gold of the new avatar.
