Requirements
King:
A king can invite active and neutral governors to resettle into their kingdom by placing a menhir on a free field on the map. A menhir can be placed on free 4-4-4-6 fields inside the kingdom border, except on fields covered by mist. The menhir reserves the field as long as the invitation is still pending or accepted
Governor:
Governors can accept a relocation invitation if:
- The governor has only one village
- The governor is still in beginner's protection
- The governor is neutral. They aren't part of any kingdom
- The governor wasn't part of the inviting kingdom or confederacy in the last three days
- The governor’s village isn't within the borders of the inviting kingdom
- The governor is not about to go on vacation/is currently not in vacation mode
- The overall crop consumption of all the governor's troops (including troops in villages of other players) is below 2000
The moment a governor settle his second village, his beginner's protection ends.
Game world:
Relocation invitations can be sent by kings if all Wonders of the World are below level 50.
Relocation invitation for the king
 | You can find the button on the map. Make sure that you have empty fields inside your kingdom's borders. When you click on an empty field, the circular menu will appear displaying the invitation button. Now click on the crown icon. |
Invite a governor to relocate
 | After you have clicked on the crown button in the map's circular menu, the invitation window will appear. There you can see the resource split of the field you have selected. To invite a governor, you need to search for the player in the second part of the screen. Select the governor and send the invitation. A menhir will be placed on the field you offered for relocation. |
Why is it sometimes not possible to send an invitation to a governor?
Governors are bound to some conditions in order to accept your invitation. If they don't already meet these conditions at the time you want to invite them, the system will not allow the invitation to be sent.
The reasons are shown as a warning message in the invitation window. Here's a list of reasons why an invitation can't be sent:
- A Wonder of the World has reached level 50
- The governor has more than one village
- The governor is not longer in beginner's protection
- The governor is on vacation or about to go on vacation
- The governor is already part of another kingdom
- The governor is inactive
- The governor has already been invited
- A village of the governor is already inside your kingdom border
 | The invitation to relocate can be found, just like a kingdom invitation, in the embassy or in the communities' window. You also receive an invitation notification that will open the invitation if you click on it. The invitation will show you all the details, such as the location you can relocate to. It's up to you whether you accept it or not. |
 | A menhir marks out fields that are reserved for governors, so they can relocate to those fields. The menhir is visible to all players in the game world. This means anyone can check who might relocate to the field. In addition, settlers can't build a new village on fields that contain a menhir. |
What happens to my settlers if they are sent to a menhir?
If a menhir is placed after you've already sent out your settlers, they will return to their village after arriving at the menhir’s location.
 | To cancel the invitation, you need to open the detailed view of the menhir on the map. To do that, click on the menhir you want to remove and then on the magnifying glasses in the middle of the circular menu. You can cancel the invitation here. That will remove the menhir on the field and withdraw the invitation. |
How many relocation invitations can I send?
The first restriction is that you're only allowed to have three pending relocation invitations at a time. So, make sure the invitations are accepted as soon as possible if you want to send new invitations. And the second restriction is the size of your kingdom and the empty fields it contains. If you want to invite more governors to your kingdom, you need to make sure your kingdom expands and has free spots to offer.
Why has my invitation been removed?
Whenever the conditions for relocation are no longer met for your kingdom, the pending invitations will be removed. This would happen if:
- A Wonder of the World has reached level 50
- Your kingdom border has changed, and the menhir is no longer inside the borders
- Your kingdom has been deleted
- The invited governor has settled a new village
- The invited governor is not longer in beginner's protection
- The invited governor has become inactive
- The invited governor has joined another kingdom
- The invited governor has declined your invitation
- The invited governor is about to go on vacation
What happens when a governor accepts my invitation?
If a governor accepts the relocation invitation, the relocation will be initiated. The governor’s village will replace the menhir on the map, and the governor will now be part of your kingdom.
What happens to my village when a relocation invitation is accepted?
When you accept the invitation, your village will move to the designated location and replace the menhir that was placed on the map. You'll also join the kingdom that invited you.
Your village will keep all buildings and resource fields when you relocate.
What happens to my troops when a relocation invitation is accepted?
Some of your troops need to adjust their movements when you relocate. Let's have a look at what your troops will do:
- Your merchants will keep doing their trades.
- Tributes or stolen goods deliveries will be kept.
- If you have sent your hero on an adventure, they will continue with the adventure.
- Returning troops, as well as healed troops, still know how to come back and will continue on their way.
- The troops garrisoned at home will stay in the village. This also includes the troops you've captured.
Why can I not accept a relocation invitation?
- You have outgoing troops
- The overall crop consumption of all your troops (including your troops in villages of other players) exceeds 2000
I am under attack, can I still relocate?
If you are under attack, you will be able to accept a relocation reservation. This option allows relocation to happen right after the last current incoming attack hits. Stationed troops will stay until the actual relocation happens. In addition, own troops cannot be sent out. A reservation can be canceled until half of the countdown time has passed.
I've caught animals in my village. Will they also relocate?
Yes, captured animals are just like your own troops. They'll stay with you when you relocate and continue to defend your village.
I just finished relocating. Do I have any restrictions?
After relocation, you will face a cool-down phase of 12/GAMESPEED hours, during which you can't attack but can be attacked by other players, except members of your newly joined kingdom. The only exception to this rule: You can attack robber camps and hideouts.
