Camps (Building, Taking, Morale)

Players can have up to 3 camps: first after they reach 5.000 fame, second after 40.000 fame and third at 100.000 fame. There are 2 ways to get a camp: building one or taking over an enemy camp through siege war. Camps are usefull, cause you can move resources from camps to your city (by loading 10.000 of each resource type on your heroes and sending them to your city), you can train lv. 2 archers, pikes and warriors in them or you can keep units that where produced in the city there. There can be also a nice way to increase ones teritory; if your city is in a crowded area, where gaining new teritory is difficult, you can try building temples arround your camps.

Building Camps:
To be able to build a camp, you need to be a member of a guild that owns a shrine and you must have 100.000 gold in your city. You must send a hero to that teritory where you want to build your camp (and that must be owned by your guild). Choose the spot where you want to build it, click on it, click "Build Campsite" > select the hero you have send there > "Establish City".

Camp Morale:
Whenever another nation owns the holly shrine / neutral teritory where your camp is located, it will start to loose morale automatically, 10 points each 3 h, untill it reaches 40, when it stops. At this point, food production becomes negative and stone, wood and metal production becomes 0. This makes keeping troops at the camp very challenging. You can try counter this by donating gold in the camp's Town Center building. Each 10.000 donated gold will increase morale by 1 point, so to raise morale from 40 to 100, you will need to donate 60 x 10.000 = 600.000 gold. You can donate only once / day in each camp, so try to time it wisely. To get more gold, you can try exchanging resources for gold in the market or you can send a hero to the camp and send him to plunder (if you send a hero from the city directly to plunder, the gained resources will go to the city).

Tip:
* troops don't die in lairs (So if you have problems with keeping troops in camps due to morale / food production problems, just put them on a hero / heroes, send them to camp and then to a lair. They will not die there. Just make sure you have some food in camp, untill he arives into the lair, so you won't loose any + to put 10.000 on the hero.)

Taking Over Enemy Camps / Camp Siege War:
Make sure you're attacking a camp that belongs to an inactive player (red symbol above city) and take out the garnisson, if there is any, first. Then you must rally one or more of your heroes to siege war that camp (not plunder!). Your target is to destroy the Town Center, once that is destroyed, you win the attack. You should bring some trebuchets on your hero (trebuchets work best against walls, towers & buildings). Each attack you win, will decrease the morale of the camp by 10 points. There is a 2 h cooldown period between attacks. After the camp morale reaches 0, you must attacke it one final time and after that it's yours. After taking it, don't forget to restore morale.
