My cities are getting to capacity but it seems like the button to attach an outpost to a city only somtimes appears. Could someone explain this mechanic to me?

It is very NOT intuitive. Even I who have done it many times never remember exactly step by step how it works off the top of my head, unless I'm in game and try it. Even then I sometimes struggle to find the right order how to click on what and attach it etc. 


My son was playing through the Lucy OpenDev twice today and didn't even realize it was possible until I told him, but he was done playing for the day then. I am not in-game atm, but will post a step by step next time I am. Unless someone else beats me to it, which is fine. Maybe @Eulogos or @Elhoim can do it, as they are very knowlegable about the game and how all features works. It seems they can keep it all in their heads while I need to write it down or be in game to remember how alot of stuff is done. :)

If the outpost is not converting into a city, you should be able to attach it without problems. City only after a medieval tech.


Now it can also be this: There's an UI bug that sometimes the city/outpost "banners" disappear or get very transparent. You need to zoom out to strategic view and zoom back in for the banner to re-appear.

The question is how.  I can see the city & outpost banners, but do not see an option for attaching one to the other in their screens.     Edit: Thanks it worked

The outpost territory (marked by dashes) need to be adjacent to territory controlled by one of your cities (marked by solid line).

To link you need to zoom to the level that the button which looks like a chain link appears next to the city or outpost (do not select them) click this button a choose what city/outpost to combine into one zone.

If you are playing as the Huns or the Mongols they have the Ordu which automatically turns your outpost into one, you cannot attach it to cities but you can summon a horde of 4 armies from it using the outpost's population.
