What counts as cheating or exploiting?

Learn what actions are considered cheating or exploiting in Port Liberty, including multi-accounting, bots, scripts, bug abuse, and other unfair gameplay behavior — and what consequences may apply.

What counts as cheating or exploiting in Port Liberty?

Port Liberty is designed to be competitive, but fair.
Any action that gives a player an unfair advantage, manipulates game systems, or intentionally disrupts the experience of others is considered cheating or exploiting and may lead to penalties.

Below you’ll find the most common examples.


Multi-accounting and account abuse

The following actions are not allowed:

  • Playing more than one account in the same game world

  • Creating additional accounts to support or benefit another account

  • Using multiple accounts to manipulate game mechanics or features

  • Circumventing the one-account rule by coordinating with others

Even indirect benefits from additional accounts may be considered a violation.


Password sharing and multi-player accounts

  • Sharing passwords is generally forbidden

  • Multi-player accounts are only allowed where officially supported by the game

  • All players on a multi-player account must not own or play another account in the same game world

  • Accounts played from the same device must not use identical passwords

If suspicious activity is detected, Support may review the situation to protect fair gameplay.


Bots, scripts, and automation

The use of any software or tools that automate or assist gameplay is strictly prohibited, including but not limited to:

  • Bots

  • Scripts

  • Macros

  • Automation tools

  • Similar third-party programs

The game must only be played using conventional, unmodified browsers.
Graphic packs are allowed unless they provide a gameplay advantage.


Bug abuse and exploits

  • Deliberately exploiting bugs, unintended mechanics, or game errors is prohibited

  • Repeatedly using a known bug to gain an advantage is considered exploiting

  • Bugs should be reported via the official support channels

Using an exploit “because it exists” does not make it allowed.


Disruptive gameplay behavior

The following may be considered cheating or unfair play:

  • Intentionally disrupting the gameplay experience of others

  • Coordinated actions intended to manipulate game systems

  • Abuse of features in a way that goes against their intended purpose

  • Repeated spam or actions designed to provoke or harass other players


Impersonation and deception

  • Pretending to be an official Port Liberty or Travian Games employee is prohibited

  • Imitating official institutions or using misleading names may result in immediate action

  • Any attempt to deceive other players for unfair gain may be punished


Important notes on responsibility

  • All actions performed on an account are attributed to the account holder

  • Not knowing a rule does not protect an account from penalties

  • If a third party violates the rules using your account, the account may still be sanctioned

Travian Games will never ask you for your password.


What happens if these rules are violated?

Violations may result in measures such as:

  • Warnings

  • Chat or communication restrictions

  • Temporary suspensions

  • Permanent bans

No compensation is provided for losses incurred during sanctions.


Not sure if something is allowed?

If you are unsure whether a specific behavior is permitted:

  • Do not test it in-game

  • Contact Support before acting
