How Heroes Defence Bonus Works

    Hi guys,
    I am a little confused as to how the 20% defence bonus gets added. I'm looking for definitive answers for the current game version, so answer only if you are 101% sure about it, no guessing games please :)


    1) I have two defensive villages (A and B), both of them producing phalanxes.
    I send every phalanx of both villages to a friendly village that need protection.
    Hero is stationed on A village.
    Will B village phalanx gets the 20% defence bonus as well, or only the A village phalanx, where the hero is stationed, gets the 20% defence bonus?


    2) We are 2 def player that reinforce a village under attacks. Both of us are of the same tribe, let's say Roman because everyone know Romans rocks :P
    Only one of us sent the hero along the troops.
    Will both of us defender gets the 20% def bonus as we are of the same tribe, or only the troops from the player who sent the hero will get the bonus?


    3) In conclusion, do you need only 3 heroes (one for every tribe) for the 20% bonus for every defender of the village, or every player need to send his own hero along the troops, because every hero boost only the troops in the village where the hero is stationed?

    Your hero will affect all your def troops that are on the village with your hero. They will not affect anyone elses troops in that village, or your troops in your other villages.


    Unlike your def bonus, hero weapon applies the buff to all the troops in that village (not just yours!). So, every hero should wear a different weapon than the other heroes in that village when defending.


    I know, it seems weird how these things work, but this is how the game supposedly works. (or atleast so we have been told)

    Thank you Jallu for the clear answer.
    In old Travian versions the system worked like you just say, but in an old topic that I read on this forum, it says a different thing regarding def bonus, so I will appreciate a definitive answer from the kind developer that usually help on this section or anyone else with a definitive knowledge of the argument, as it's a fundamental part of the game.


    TIA :)

    I have checked this just yesterday with various simulations in Combat simulator and agree with everything Jallu said.

    Just to clarify above line, If each defender has "Short sword of legionnaire" , the powers dont add up... each legionnare defending that village (your troop or otherwise) will get only +3 bonus per legionnaire instead of +6 .. however, If there is a "Short sword" and a "Long sword" , the higher bonus is applied to all the troops...

    Yes, @Jallu is right. While defending, the equipment boni affect all the (matching) units in the village where the hero is located, no matter which player or village they belong to. If there are multiple heroes and they're equipped with items affecting the same troops, these effects do not stack; only the strongest effect will be applied.

    Just make sure: Any village I send the hero, my troops will get the bonus or just in my home village?

    So I send troops from A (home of the Hero) and B village to another players C village. Both A and B gonna get the bonus, only A or none of them?


    Thank you!
