Tribal Wars Bot / Free bots
Free options
Is there a free Tribal Wars bot?
Yes. Free userscripts and self-hosted projects can be the right fit if you are happy to run and maintain them. Tribal Wars Bot takes a different route: one guided Windows installer, automatic work across your configured villages, and every available feature free for seven days before you decide.
- The free ones
- Real, and the right answer for a fair number of accounts.
- What they cost
- Setup, a machine left on, and the upkeep when the game moves.
- The risk
- Automation carries account risk whether the software is free or paid.
- This one
- 100% free for 7 days with no card, then $29.99 USD in Bitcoin for 30 days at a time.
What is out there
Four kinds of free
A search for a free Tribal Wars bot returns all four of these mixed together, which is most of why the question is hard to answer. They are not the same thing and they do not fail in the same way.
Userscripts
Free scripts you install into a script manager such as Tampermonkey and that then run inside the game page: farm planners, mass-scavenge helpers, map and report tools. This is the largest and healthiest part of the Tribal Wars scripting world, and the scripts are genuinely good.
What a userscript does is plan. It reads a screen, works out the best arrangement of what is on it, and lays the result out as a list with a button on every row. The pressing is still yours, and so is being at the keyboard when it needs doing.
Not a criticism: we drive two of them ourselves — FarmGod for farm planning and the community mass-scavenge script for scavenging, both loaded from our own mirror. How FarmGod is used here →
Self-hosted bots
Projects you download and run yourself, usually a program that drives a browser on a machine you supply. They are free of charge and free of anyone owing you anything: the environment, the browser, the login file, the machine that stays on overnight and the evening it breaks are all yours.
If you are comfortable reading code and keeping software running, this is a real option and it costs nothing. If you are not, the first afternoon is where most people stop.
Projects nobody maintains
Several of the results are repositories whose last change is years old. That matters more here than in most software, because Tribal Wars keeps editing its own screens: a bot written against the old ones stops finding what it is looking for, and it usually stops quietly — the run reports nothing rather than reporting an error.
Worth one check before you spend an evening: the date of the last change, and whether anyone has answered an issue since.
The one the game sells
The in-game Account Manager is not free — it is bought with premium points — but it is the only option on this page that is inside the rules. It repeats build and recruit templates across your villages and gives the loot assistant its list. If that is the whole of what you want, it is the cheaper answer and the safe one.
The bill
What free costs instead
None of this is hidden. It is simply paid in a currency that does not appear on a price page.
- Setup. A runtime, a browser, a config file and a login, before anything sends a single farm run. With a script manager it is faster; with a self-hosted bot, plan for an afternoon and be pleased if it is less.
- Uptime. A bot only plays while something is running it. That means a machine awake at 04:00, a window that stays open, and something that notices when a page has wedged and puts it back. Ours has a recovery ladder for that; most free projects leave it to you to spot in the morning.
- Upkeep. When the game changes a screen, a module stops. On a free project you are both the person who finds out and the person who fixes it, and finding out is the expensive half.
- Nobody owes you an answer. A free script is a gift. The author does not owe you a fix, a reply, or a warning that the thing has stopped working.
The cost that is not time
Where you run it changes how often you are checked
This is the part worth knowing before you pick anything, free or paid, and it is not a sales point — it is a measurement we paid for with our own account.
Tribal Wars Bot used to run a Linux Chromium inside a container, which is the shape a self-hosted bot naturally takes, because a container is the easy way to run a browser on a server. It also proved fragile under ordinary game changes. Moving to the Windows Chrome already installed on the machine made the setup simpler and easier to recover.
Nothing about that observation is proprietary, and it is the reason this bot is a Chrome extension plus a small program on your PC rather than something you rent a VPS for. If you are choosing a free bot, prefer one that drives a real desktop browser you already use, and be sceptical of anything whose selling point is that it runs headless on a server.

Honest ending
When free is the right answer
- One village, or two. A farm planner pressed by hand takes a minute. There is nothing here you need.
- You want build and recruit repeated and nothing else. That is the Account Manager, it is allowed, and it costs premium points rather than a subscription and an account risk.
- You enjoy running your own software. A self-hosted project is free, it is yours, and you can read every line of it — which is more than you can say for anything you buy.
If one of those three describes you, this is where the page ends, and none of it was an argument for paying us.
The other side
What the money is actually for
Four things, and each of them is something a free script cannot do because of what it is, not because nobody has bothered.
Somebody awake
One rotation across every village on every world you play, always going to whichever job is due first — scavenging when the troops are home, the mint before it lapses, the farm rows at 04:00. A planner hands you a list; this presses it.
A local companion
A userscript runs only inside the page. Tribal Wars Bot also has a small companion program on the desktop, which provides its dashboard, updates, and connection to the operating system.
A brain you did not download
The build that installs from this site does not contain the decision code. It reads the page, asks our server what to do, and carries out the answer. Every algorithm in a free script is readable by anyone who opens the file — including whoever is looking for something to recognise.
Fixes that arrive
The launcher installs the newest build each time it starts, so taking a fix is closing Tribal Wars Bot and running the setup again. What changed, and on which build, is written down with dates.
The price, plainly. Every feature available on your world is unlocked for seven days with no credit card. The trial starts after the installed bot connects and the account page validates the player shown by the game. After that, $29.99 USD in Bitcoin adds 30 days. Paying early keeps every free trial day you have left, and nothing renews automatically. Download the Windows installer →
And the part that is the same at every price. Automation breaks the Tribal Wars rules. A free script, a self-hosted bot and this one all carry the risk of losing the account, and nothing anybody sells you removes it. Run it on an account you could stand to lose.
