Before being conquered by players, oases are inhabited by wild animals (nature troops). Each animal produces one resources per hour. Each animal also increases the amount of capacity that an oasis has by 50. For example, if an oasis has 100 animals, and they are all there for 50 hours, there will be a maximum of 5,000 resources available.
Once an oasis has been cleared of animals and reinforced by at least one unit, it is considered occupied and belongs to a kingdom. For more information on player-controlled oases, see our oasis page.
Animals can be eliminated by attack or raid. If you send troops, there will be a battle adn the nature troops will be killed like any other troops.
Your hero can capture animals!
 | When your hero attacks while equipped with cages, no battle occurs , even if troops accompany the hero. Your hero will fill his cages and bring his captures back to the village |
Note:
You don't choose the animals you catch! If there are several types of animals in an oasis, the cages are filled in order, one animal at a time: 1 animal of the 1st type in the first cage, 1 animal of the second type in the second cage etc... then back to the first type until the number of cages (or animals) is exhausted.
Warning:
Animals remain wild, and if they defend your village, it's only because they feel threatened if attacked. You can't use them for anything other than defending your village. Neither send them to attack another player nor assist another village: once you have animals in your village, you keep them until they die in battle or you send them back!
The good news is that they help defend your village for free! Even if the animals have a consumption attribute, they don't consume your crop!
