Updates (18 APR):
Expanded Caravan Capacity Applied to Gathering
Gathering caravans can now contain the expanded resource capacity. This only applies to newly dispatched caravans.

Regarding gathering (harvesting) caravans with the new capacity.

These caravans still gather at the same rate (200/hour), so they will stay longer on the square until they are full (assuming there is sufficient resource remaining on the square).

You are advised to protect these caravans wherever possible, as they may be exposed and vulnerable for longer.

However, if you wish to limit the amount of time they spend on a square, simply dispatch a second caravan after the interval you want.  Your second caravan will displace the first caravan, and send it home.

Hi GM Stormcrow,
Not to appear too thick, but when you say protection, do you mean sending troops (i.e. protectors - as I'm an elf) would be appropriate.  How do you do add them to the caravan?  Cheers!

Send troops to occupy the resource square so it will protect the harvesting caravans.
You need to research Occupy Territory though.

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