# Special Servers - Merging Troops

Special Servers - Merging Troops

Merging troops is a **special server feature** that allows you to combine troops from different villages into a single army. Merged troops behave exactly as if they were **trained in their new home village**, including benefiting from that village’s **Smithy upgrades**. Merging always costs **resources or Gold**.

## **How to Merge Troops**

1.  **Send the troops** you want to merge to the target village (their future home).
    
2.  Open the **Rally Point** in the target village.
    
3.  In the **Overview** tab, find the incoming reinforcements you sent.
    
4.  Click **“incorporate into village.”**
    
5.  Select how many troops you want to merge (this determines the cost).
    
6.  Complete the merge by paying with **resources** (NPC is allowed) or **Gold**.

## **Restrictions**

-   You can only merge troops that **belong to your own avatar**.
    
-   You can only merge troops of the **same tribe** as the target village.
    
-   You **cannot** merge:
    
    -   Settlers
        
    -   Administrators (chiefs, senators, etc.)
        
    -   Siege weapons (catapults, rams)
        
    -   The hero (the hero can simply move between villages)
        
-   Research levels do **not** matter — you can merge units into a village even if the unit type was never researched there.
    
-   Gold merges are limited to **50 Gold per village per day**, resetting with the daily quest reset.
    
-   Merging with **resources** has no limit.

## **Merging Costs**

The cost of merging is based on the **recruitment cost** of the units being merged:

-   **Total merging cost = 2 × (recruitment cost of the units)**
    
-   If paying with Gold:
    
    -   Gold cost = total resource cost ÷ 40,000, **rounded up**
        

### **Example**

You want to merge **1,000 Clubswingers**:

-   Recruitment cost of 1 Clubswinger = **250 total resources**
    
-   Total resource cost for merging = **250 × 1,000 × 2 = 500,000**
    
    -   (190,000 wood, 150,000 clay, 80,000 iron, 80,000 crop)
        
-   Gold cost = **500,000 ÷ 40,000 = 13 Gold**
