How To Garrison Units In Age of Mythology Retold

Keeping your units safe is crucial in Age of Mythology Retold, and one of the best ways to protect them is by garrisoning them inside buildings. This guide will walk you through the garrison mechanics and show you two different methods to quickly shelter your units from danger.

Understanding Garrison Capacity

Before you garrison any units, you need to identify which buildings can hold them. Look for the unit capacity indicator on your building. For example, a Century Tower will display “Contained units: 0 out of 10,” meaning it can garrison up to 10 units inside it. This label confirms the building is garrisonable and shows how much space is available.

Method 1: Garrison Units in a Specific Building

If you want direct control over which building receives your units, follow these steps:

First, select your unit (such as a villager) by left-clicking on it.

Next, open the unit’s options menu on the left side of the screen and select “Garrison inside a building or ship.”

Finally, left-click on the building where you want the unit garrisoned. Your unit will move to that building and enter it automatically.

Managing Garrisoned Units

Once your units are safely inside a building, you’ll have options to manage them. Hover over the building to see two key commands: “Return to Work” (which sends your units back out) and “Eject All Garrisoned Units” (which empties the building completely).

Method 2: Emergency Shelter with Seek Shelter

In urgent situations where you need to protect units immediately without choosing a specific building, use the “Seek Shelter” button. This command instructs your selected villagers to garrison in the closest available garrisonable building automatically.

Simply click the “Seek Shelter” button and your units will find the nearest safe location on their own. This is perfect for emergency situations when you don’t have time to manually select individual buildings.

Summary

Garrisoning units in Age of Mythology Retold is straightforward once you know the mechanics. Whether you prefer the precision of choosing specific buildings or the speed of the Seek Shelter command, you now have the tools to keep your units protected. Remember to check building capacity indicators, use the garrison menu for specific placement, and rely on Seek Shelter when emergencies demand quick action.
