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. http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/major-release-15mar_topic138.html - http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/major-release-15mar_topic138.html So to answer your above questions. Its working as intended. |

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.

| 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...
