Topic: [77122] When you send support soldiers..

Hi guys! I've got a new question.. And this is regarding sending troops to an allied for support. I just 42 soldiers to a friend, and now I cant seem to find them. Do the soldiers become his when they arrive? Or do they turn arround imediately when they arrive him, so they have come back without me noticing ? i am really confused..

Support troops can be sent to members of your alliance for 1 hour, 6 hours or 12 hours (you specify this when you send them). The troops will then defend the castle that they have been sent to. They will consume food from the castle that they were sent from, and return after the specified time period is up.

Funny you should mention this 123123ABC, one of my alliance members is having some problems with stationing. They turn back when they arrive at the destination. I wonder if there's a bug.

Has anyone else noticed this the last day or two?

Brilliant answer! Thanks mate.. I see now that they spent one hour at my friends castle, and went home

Yeah it's really easy to miss the stationing duration option when sending. I've done it a few times myself. It's easier just to choose the 12 hour option if you're going to be online for a while. You can still choose to bring them back anytime you want once they're stationed.

yeah, my problem was that i sent them before going to sleep.. And the next morning they werent where i sent them.. And i didnt know that they went back after one hour.. So i thought they were just gone..
