The order of loss
When a village's crop goes negative and the granary is empty, troops are removed in this order:
- 1 · Foreign reinforcements: Troops belonging to other players go first.
- 2 · Your reinforcements: Troops you sent from your own other villages.
- 3 · Home troops: Troops based in the starving village.
- 4 · Troops on the move: Your troops in transit - raids, attacks, returns, evasions and trapped troops.
Your hero is NOT immune - he is killed last, only after every other troop has starved. If the deficit continues, the hero dies and must be revived. Caged animals ARE immune.
