Awesome update as there is the possibility to gain extra resources through the abandoned mines now. Got a question though. The explanation tells me if u put more then 1 caravan to a mine they will all go there and harvest (the example says sent 10 caravans and they will return after 10 hours with 2k (200*10) resources. I tried this yesterday but it seems as ur second caravan gets there the fitrst will head back (same as happens when another player gets to the mine). Is this a bug or just works a little different as explained?
 
Other question how do i get an army to defend a mine, if i sent an army it gets there and immediately returns. I read its possible to attack an enemy caravan, how do you do that?
 
Off topic: rly love the effort u guys put in developing this game as it proceeds!

You have to send your caravans all together.
As you said if you send them 1 by 1, they will replace eachother.
So send them together.

About another player bumping your caravan home, its said in the update post.

So to answer your above questions.
Its working as intended.

When you click on the resource you want to go to, it gives you two options, one is to gather, the other is to send army.

If other neutral caravans come to the resource, your army will attack it.  In the future, it will attack ANY caravan that approaches.

Let me see if i get this. If i click "send army" it sends my troops (obv) but they return as soon as they get there. Will they automatically move out again if a caravan arrives on that spot, or is it only possible to sent ur army @ caravans which are allready grinding resources?

Research Occupy Territory.
You can set how long your army stays there.
It will guard your caravans.

Occupy Territory 100 2hr 30m Requires Barracks at level 5 
Allows an army to march to a position on the map and then hold that terrain for a period of time

follow up to the multiple caravans sent at once....if you send two caravans do you net 400 units in 1 hr or 400 units in 2 hours?

400 units in 2hrs; but the advantage is you don't have to send another 1 hr after sending the first...

But then the risk is you have two caravans at risk from an army - swings and roundabouts...
