Garrison - keeping armies on the spot

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


         Currently, all armies are despatched for a fixed term of up to 15 days. This can be limiting and difficult to micro-manage for long-term occupation.
        
         

        
        
         Suggestion: 
         Garrison
        
        
         

        
        
         
          This option will appear on the Military > Orders drop-downs, resulting in a party comprising:
         
        
        
         
          
           at least one settler.
           an army large enough to defend the spot.
          
         
        
        
         
          
           Other Requirements:
          
         
        
        
         
          
           One Garrison Support building in the city, per Garrison outpost (e.g. level determines how many armies are supported)
          
         
        
        
         
          The only benefits to a Garrison are:
         
         
          
           The garrisoned army does not need to return home after 15 days. It does not allow missions to be launched from the garrison.
           A small defence bonus.
          
         
         
          Some other details which might spice up the action:
         
         
          
           Garrisons may be sieged. They quickly build to L20, and repair damage according to the number of settlers present.
           Garrisons may be reinforced, but each army needs one settler unit to remain.
           Raid/Attack: After all army units are eliminated, the settler units become vulnerable to attack.
