Your character can CLAIM the location but when he leaves ownership reverts
to the strongest garrison army.  Garrison armies are a special stationary
type of army that never leaves the location.  After your character CLAIMs
the location you'll need to build up or bring in enough troops to EVICT the
former owner's garrison army.  While CLAIM can still be a useful command,
you can't just use it to wander from location to location taking over at will.
