# Travian Top Alliance Tribe Breakdown

> We analysed tribe composition in 490 top Travian alliances across 49 worlds and compared them with other accounts on the same servers.

Canonical: https://travitools.com/guides/travian-top-alliance-tribes

We compared 22,704 accounts in 490 top alliances with 135,271 other accounts across 49 worlds. Gauls were the largest tribe in many top alliances, while Teutons made up a higher share of top-alliance members on 40 of the 49 worlds.

## The pattern across 49 worlds

Gauls were the single largest tribe in 236 of the 490 top alliances. They also shared first place in 27 tied alliances. Gauls were more prevalent among accounts outside the top ten alliances on 45 of the 49 worlds.

Teutons showed the opposite pattern. Their share was higher in the top ten alliances than among other accounts on 40 of 49 worlds. On the 23 worlds where Egyptians and Huns were also observed, Egyptians had a higher share in the top ten on 18 worlds, and Huns on all 23.

These are population-ranked alliances, measured at one point in time. A larger share does not establish that a tribe makes an alliance stronger, or tell us how its players use their troops.

## Three-tribe worlds: Gauls lead, Teutons gain ground

On the 26 worlds where only Romans, Teutons and Gauls appeared in the account data, Gauls made up 45.5% of top-ten alliance members and 56.9% of other accounts. Teutons accounted for 20.1% of top-alliance members versus 14.2% outside the top ten. Romans were 34.5% versus 28.8%.

The figures pool 11,354 top-alliance members and 56,176 other accounts. A percentage-point difference subtracts the outside share from the top-alliance share.

| Tribe | Top 10 members | Other accounts | Difference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Romans | 34.5% | 28.8% | +5.6 pp |
| Teutons | 20.1% | 14.2% | +5.9 pp |
| Gauls | 45.5% | 56.9% | -11.5 pp |

## Five-tribe worlds: Egyptians edge ahead in the top ten

On 13 worlds where Romans, Teutons, Gauls, Egyptians and Huns were observed, Egyptians made up 28.8% of top-alliance members, narrowly ahead of Gauls at 27.7%. Among other accounts on those same worlds, Gauls led at 43.6%.

These figures pool 6,983 top-alliance members and 55,786 other accounts. We group worlds by tribes actually observed in the snapshot. That compares accounts on the same worlds, though it is not a verified list of tribes available at registration. All 13 five-tribe worlds in this sample have International hostnames; differences between groups can also reflect region and other server characteristics.

| Tribe | Top 10 members | Other accounts | Difference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Romans | 21.9% | 20.2% | +1.7 pp |
| Teutons | 11.0% | 8.5% | +2.5 pp |
| Gauls | 27.7% | 43.6% | -15.9 pp |
| Egyptians | 28.8% | 20.6% | +8.1 pp |
| Huns | 10.7% | 7.2% | +3.6 pp |

## Six-tribe worlds: Spartans in the mix

On ten worlds with Spartans as well as the other five tribes, Spartans made up 9.9% of top-alliance members and 13.7% of other accounts. Romans were the largest group in the top ten at 26.7%, followed by Gauls at 21.8% and Egyptians at 20.6%.

These worlds include special formats with different rules. Across them, 6,784 accounts had villages with more than one tribe; our first-village proxy can therefore differ from an account’s starting tribe.

## What this means for choosing a tribe

The results suggest that the mix in a highly populated alliance often differs from the mix across its world. They do not reveal whether the alliance recruited for specific roles, whether players spent gold, how active accounts were, or which alliance ultimately won.

If you plan to join an organized alliance, ask its leaders which roles they need before you choose. If you already have a tribe in mind, look at the actual members of alliances on your world. The [alliance scouting guide](https://travitools.com/guides/alliance-search) explains what to check beyond the population rank.

## How we measured the alliances

We examined one archived map.sql snapshot from 8 November 2026 for each eligible tracked Travian Legends world. We selected worlds marked active and online when collected, with a recorded round start before that date and at least ten alliances. Of 51 candidates, 49 had an archive that day. The sample includes numbered, named and special worlds; the alpha test world was excluded. The archive contains older world folders too, so its total folder count is larger than the number of current worlds in this snapshot.

On each world, we ranked alliances by the sum of their members’ mapped village population and selected the top ten. We counted each player ID once. The comparison group contains all other player accounts visible on that same world, including players without an alliance and accounts whose owners may no longer be active.

Each account’s tribe and alliance are taken from its first encountered village in the map file, matching the TraviTools snapshot summary. This is a proxy for account tribe on worlds with mixed-tribe villages. Across the sample, 6,784 accounts had villages from multiple tribes. Population ties between alliances are ordered by numeric alliance ID.

Some worlds have fewer than ten members in their tenth-ranked alliance. Restricting the analysis to the 37 worlds where that alliance has at least ten members, Teutons have a higher top-ten share on 31 worlds and Gauls a lower share on 34. Each world contributes ten alliances, but pooled percentages weight larger groups more heavily.

## Common questions

### Which tribe is most common in top Travian alliances?

Gauls were the sole largest tribe in 236 of 490 top alliances in our 49-world snapshot, with another 27 alliances tied for first place.

### Are Teutons more common in top Travian alliances?

In our sample, Teutons accounted for a higher share of top-ten alliance members than of other accounts on 40 of 49 worlds.

### Does an alliance need a particular tribe composition to win?

Our study measures population-ranked alliance membership at one point in time. It does not establish an ideal composition or measure which alliances win.
