Troop recovery and enlistment

Separate direct deaths, Infirmary casualties and the troops eligible for enlistment.

Where losses go

OutcomeRecovery rule
Severely injured with Infirmary spaceEnter the Infirmary for healing.
Severely injured beyond Infirmary capacityThe Enlistment Office can save 70% of this overflow, subject to its capacity.
Troops killed directly in an offensive battleThe Enlistment Office does not revive them.
Enlistment capacityFour times Infirmary capacity. Existing reserves occupy that space.
LoyaltyOnly accumulates while troops are in the Enlistment Office.

Example: overflow is not total casualties

If 10,000 severely injured troops exceed Infirmary capacity, the 70% rule makes 7,000 eligible for enlistment before the office’s capacity limit. It does not mean that 70% of every death in a battle can be recovered.

Check the event’s casualty rules

Casualty categories vary by battle. The official example for attacks on another Town gives direct deaths as 35% of the attacker’s casualties; King’s Castle casualties fill the Infirmary before further losses die. Use the current event rules when assessing risk.
