See notably what sent me Discord user 436415906214707220.

Pay attention to run such software in an isolated environment.

An interesting question is which version of the game would I/people like to play.

If have something running, for playing seriously have to consider how these items are working:

Version 3 was released on 30 June 2006, and featured oases which could be annexed, and would supplement the player's hourly resource production, as opposed to the oases in version 2, which were only present for visual appeal. Version 3 also introduced 'heroes', military units which gain experience in battles. There were also major changes to game mechanics and graphics. Update 3.1 introduced quests that players could complete to receive rewards in the form of resource or game gold.

On March 16, 2007, an announcement was made about the release of Travian Classic, dubbed "Travian 2.5", which was based on version 3 but had certain features disabled in order to make it similar to version 2.

Update 3.5 was first implemented on the original .org server (German) in early February 2009, and was implemented on other servers with the game restarting in mid-2009.[20][21][22][23][24] It reintroduced artifacts—items which give the players bonuses once captured. On 22 October 2009, it was followed by update 3.6, which made several Plus! account-only features available to non-paying users, along with newly added features.

In July 2010, an announcement was made saying that developers were working on a Version 4,[26] which was released in February 2011.

We are looking for Travian: Legends not Travian Kingdoms.

Nothing on GitLab GitHub: (decreasing stars order)

All repositories below mention adventure in the source code such as it seems that they implemnt this feature.

Establishing a hierarchical graph betweens these repositories would be interesting, but currently we don't have easily pieces of information to make it exhaustive and precise. hierarchy

What is Travian 4? Should make clear which repository claims to be which Travian version. Concerning Travian 3.6. Looking for these features.

It doesn't seem that any version is being actively maintained. It doesn't seem that any version has heroes (with stuff etc) like in latest official version. Enumerating the non graphical changes between official and best available versions would be interesting.

Could look at forks, in addition to mines, to make it work.

Like Dofus, isolate and have backups otherwise concerning this last point temporarily restrict access to the travian folder.
