Game Rules Guide

The destination must be another village. The server rejects a reinforcement sent back to its source before creating the movement, so neither troops nor the Hero move. On a valid movement, regular troops permanently join the destination garrison and use its upgrades, Artifact, and Hero. Chiefs and settlers do not merge: they remain returnable reinforcements owned by the source village, keep its upgrades, and continue occupying its Residence or Palace expansion slots. If the Hero accompanies the movement, the Hero moves to the destination; if the Hero later marches elsewhere, the expansion detachment remains returnable without the Hero. Battle and starvation losses update the detachment as part of their settlement transaction, so lost units stop occupying expansion slots. Reinforcing an oasis you own keeps the whole movement stationed instead.
