Building the Eagle's Nest allows you to locate and capture Hamlets.
When new Hamlets first appear on the Map, they are vacant and unguarded. You can search the Map for a vacant Hamlet to capture, or alternatively take the following steps to capture one:
1. Go to your Eagle's Nest and open the "Hamlets" tab.
2. Set the parameters from the drop-down lists to show only vacant Hamlets.
3. Tap the button showing a shield and sword next to the "Unclaimed" line on the Hamlet you would like to capture.
After this, you will see the Capture window, which contains instructions that will lead you through the entire Hamlet capturing process.
There are some important things to remember when you wish to engage with Hamlets:
- A Hamlet can be captured ONLY with a mixed army of Offensive and Defensive Units.
- Offensive Units will not take part in gathering Resources. Once the Hamlet is captured, they will head back to the Catacombs of your Castle.
- Defensive Units will not help with capturing the Hamlet. Instead, they will gather Resources from the Hamlet after the Capture is complete.
Once your Defensive Units have gathered as many Resources as their combined carrying capacity allows, they will leave the Hamlet and head back to your Castle with the Resources. You will receive a report from your Herald detailing the amount of Resources collected.
NOTE: As soon as your Defensive Units have left the Hamlet, you will no longer control it. If you want to return to gather more Resources, you will need to re-capture the Hamlet.
