Update 18APR

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.

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.
