Capturing an horde?

[pibizza]

Hi everyone,

as I am trying to understand how to play to GI, I have found a possibility that is not mentioned anywhere in the manual: capturing the horde of a barbarian nation.

Apparently, after a fight with an horde, I am holding captive them.

The results seems that the barbarians are not receiving their year reinforces.

Is this correct?

Can I destroy their horde before destroying their other forces?

You are right. You "locked" their yearly reinforcements, but you can't destroy the horde. This horde will be get back by thier former owners when:
- a peace treaty is signed;
- they capture back it;
- you leave the horde ungarrisoned for some time...
The horde cannot be moved. It's immobilized...
