Orcs not adding to garrison

[Maguflis]

Hi, i keep dominating orcs, normal, epic, legendary but when i do 'ratreat' they are not added to my garrison. Do i miss something?

its possible that you need to be connected to a WB account and 'online' for that feature to work.

Did you make/bind an WB account to your steam, or have you skipped that part?

Don't remember about linking, have game since it came out but haven't played for years. What i managed to figure out that garrison was design as 'stash' for mircotransactions etc. And that in solo game you can't collect orcs there by dominating them and 'ratreat' them. It is only when you do ONLINE castle raids and dominate orcs there and 'ratreat' them to your garrison. AM I correct?

[Maguflis]

But the question is. When I play solo dominate any rarity orcs recruit them. Where do they go when i ask them to 'retreat'? Because i was doing for past few days with good legendry orcs, today wanted to organize my forts, and i can't findt them. Garrison is empty

they're not in your garrison; they're in your Army.
and yes, Garrision is for online raids; it was a way for you to be able to add Orcs to your personal game, from others' games, without ruining or upsetting your current forts.

I see what is going on.

Hello there! If you want to add a Captain(s) to your Garrison, select him first in the army screen. (He must belong to you.)
Go to Training Orders.
Spend 1,000 Miriam to send this Orc/Olog to your Garrison.
he is now saved in your Garrison, and can be placed in your other territories.
Pin this as the answer.

but it's not the answer, though.
it is an answer, but it doesn't actually answer the OP's question.

it sounds like they did not know how to put orcs into the garrison.
If that is not the case, then okay.

[Maguflis]

All good. Got the idea how to add to garrison. Which is only from ONLINE 'other games' or in my world only insert into my army or 'pit fight' if there is no space. Thank you for answers

It may be a detail but if you send someone in your garrison it "freeze" its traits, meaning he wont get new immunities or lose weaknesses. Better not send low lvl guys (before lvl 60).

doesn't it save them in the territory your army is located in at the time? the only time they go to the garrison is either when you do it yourself or when the locations slots are all full where your army is. if it isnt full it adds them to your army in the slot they were already in. i have also found ways to dup orcs so you never loose your favs

Ha! That's nothing!
Sometimes it happens you have the whole region in your control, each spot filled with your captains and at a certain point... POOF! ... Some of them just disappear being replaced with unknown Sauron's staff.
