If I release an outpost can I get another one? I moved my castle over by my alliance and my current OP is so far i cant do much with it, so im debating releasing it, but i dont want to be stuck with just 2 oupost in the end

if you abandon an outpost you will lose EVERYTHING that you built in it, so choose a good 8 food outpost in the beginning

I have an answer! Go to economy (Looks like a crate) on the bar on the bottom right of the castle you want to forfeit, then click on management. The rightmost option should be to forfeit the castle. Remember, it'll take 24 hours to forfeit. Make sure you access the menu from the right castle!

how long can i capture another outpost after i release one of mine to free up a castilian

[1677482] Rdrnnr [None] :: Dec. 10, 2013, 11:52 p.m.

The release takes 24 hours. As soon as it is released, you can capture another one.

[1677687] hardyhar62 (US1) [None] :: Dec. 11, 2013, 9:14 a.m.

can another capture my outpost like a friend wants when i release it and free the castilian faster or do i just let him capture it without releasing it? i want the fasted way to free a castilian so i can capture another outpost.

Don't release it. If you don't release it your friend will get all the buildings in the outpost. But your friend shouldn't be in the same alliance as you. And remember to remove all the troops from your outpost.

Thanks for this information... it helped me too

You cannot abandon an outpost at will. You will lose an outpost if: (1) Another player captures it and (2) You fail to reclaim it within 24 hours.

You missed the 3rd option, surrendering your outpost.

Double post glitch:(

Not a bad person...................don't shoot me.

How do you undo the release before 24 hours are up?

[5096715] dwb7 (US1) [US1] :: Jan. 25, 2020, 12:39 p.m.

The icon has changed. You can do it from within the outpost you want to abandon, the Overview parchment icon at the bottom, Management throne icon, Surrender outpost? castle-x icon.

Once you surrender the outpost you have 3 hours during which you can cancel the surrender. You have to do that from within the outpost, Overview, Management and then cancel within there.

After the 3 hour period you cannot cancel a surrender. The only way to cancel it is for someone to capture it; a capture overrides and cancels a surrender

Remember, if you are surrendering your outpost, you need to stash all decorations in storage or lose them. Remember also to remove all troops and tools from the outpost or you will lose them too

If the outpost is being captured you obviously need to remove troops or the capture will either fail or kill the troops, but all decorations, tools and construction items will return to your storage.

Another important thing to consider is that buildings can be destroyed during the capture process (part of the programming). You have two ways to prevent or reduce the loss of buildings:

1. get the outpost attacked repeatedly until every building has fires at 100% - you will not lose any buildings that have 100% fires, but lower percentages could result in rubble;

2. if this is not an option, remove all decorations and fill every space with level 1 farms (no need for anything else to be built) - you will still get rubble but the idea is that dozens of level 1 farms will soak up a good percentage of the buildings that go to rubble and you lose fewer of the good buildings (granaries etc)

So option 1 is the better choice, but 2 is a fair alternative
