What happen to hunting troops when you lose a sub city

My question is exactly what I stated in the subject. When I explore the map, I found the lower half of map are very much empty. It would be good place to put a subcity where many forts close by to farm. But I am wondering why not so many players do that. Am I going to run a higher risk to lose the sub city because they would know you have a big troops farming there? If they take my sub city, does my troops automatically dispatch to closest city nearby or will they die. The latter would be a nightmare.

Do I lose the city if loyalty goes down to 0 but enemy player has no room to own a city?

i believe they automatically die due to the fact that they are your troops in someone elses city.

and if the player cannot own another city you will not lose your city as players cannot exced city limits

your troops dont die>.> they stay hunting due to the fact that they can remain hunting since hunt reports dont go specifically to 1 city with the money gained

Nathan is correct. If you have a city that has troops hunting from it, and that city is stolen from you, you lose those troops as well. You do not lose any prestige when your troops die though.

You also lose any oasis that are attached to that city, along with any fortified points that you have captured using troops from that city.

But, just like Nathan said, the person trying to capture your city must have an open city slot or they won't be able to take it and you won't lose any of the previously mentioned things.

i just tried this and my troops remained hunting

That

That is ... horrible. Most people do not build defense since defense is pretty much useless until you have really high level of towers and traps. So it can be really easy to steal a subcity with a help of a friend or do it before and after 24:00 server time (from reading other post). And it is not very difficult to tell if a subcity have a large troops hunting by checking the crop consumption. This means you can easily lose your troops that you worked hard for days and weeks in matter of minutes if you are not online. That doesn't make any sense to me at all. What's the point of subcity if I have to keep my force in main city only?
