# Trapper

Trapper

The **Trapper** is a **Gaul-only building** that can be constructed in any Gaul village. It protects the village by placing **hidden traps** that capture enemy troops. Captured troops cannot damage your village while imprisoned. Trapped troops **continue to consume crop** from the village they belong to. A single Trapper can hold up to **400 traps**.

## **Trapper Features**

-   **Raids cannot free trapped troops.** Only a successful **normal attack** can free them.
    
-   When enemy troops are freed by a successful attack, **all used traps are destroyed**.
    
-   If the trapper owner **releases the captives**, all destroyed traps can be **repaired for free**.
    
-   When troops are freed by an attack, **25% of the trapped troops die**.
    
-   If the troop owner **disbands** their trapped units, those units **die in the traps** and do not return home.
    
-   Releasing or disbanding trapped troops is done via the **Rally Point**.
    
-   After upgrading one Trapper to **level 20**, you may build **additional Trappers** in the same village.
    

A table in the original article lists the full construction costs, build times, and maximum trap capacity for each level.
