Before you start
- TravAI installed, village information loaded and an open game session.
- For NPC: access to the game’s exchange feature and the necessary Gold.
- For hero resources: resource items already in the hero inventory and development work to support.
These instructions use the English bot interface. Screens show sample settings; they are not live game sessions.
Choose resources and an NPC threshold
Open NPC Resource Exchange and enable the village. Select wood, clay, iron and/or crop as the resource types to monitor, then set the storage percentage above which NPC may be considered.
A threshold is a condition for considering an exchange, not a promise of an immediate action. The game’s requirements and the overall resource situation still apply.
Make the NPC distribution total 100%
Set the percentages for wood, clay, iron and crop in the village’s NPC distribution tool. All four values together must equal exactly 100% when the setting is enabled.
For example, 25% for each resource totals 100%; this is an illustration, not a recommended allocation for every village. Correct an invalid total before saving or starting.
Set hero inventory triggers and targets
Enable Take Resources from Hero Inventory for the village and choose the resource types to use. Set the percentage below which resources may be used and the target percentage to work towards.
TravAI uses resource items you already own when they can support village development. It does not buy new items, and the result depends on the inventory, construction queue and current needs.
Save and review resource use
Save the settings, press Start and keep the game open. Check resources, inventory items and the action history to see which tool was used.
NPC before troop training is a separate preference inside the training settings. Review it independently; enabling a general resource rule does not replace that choice.
Questions and troubleshooting
Why can I not save the NPC distribution?
When distribution is enabled, the wood, clay, iron and crop percentages must total exactly 100%. Check all four fields, then save again.
Why are hero inventory resources not being used?
Check the chosen village and resource types, the trigger, available inventory items and enabled development work. A free construction slot and suitable game conditions are also needed.
