Does it say "requires mine" ?

No. Am I correct in assuming that means he has a mine and road there?

[AdrienIer]

I think so yes. But you'll be able to pillage it in 2t

[Ventessel]

Here's the initial recon. Krill appears to have whipped a spearman, and I can assume he may whip another out before my forces arrive if he really wanted to. Do you think I should simply pillage the countryside and leave Animal Farm alone?

[AdrienIer]

What would be your odds at attacking the spearman inside the city ?
Either way, you need to put all your chariots on that hill.

[Ventessel]

I moved onto the hill with all seven chariots. Krill moved out and attacked with two axes and two spears, killed three of my chariots and lost one axe. The current situation is below. I built another chariot in the capital this turn as well. I am debating attacking his wounded (now veteran) units before they can heal. Unfortunately, I was saving the promotions on my chariots so he had an easier time killing them.

[AdrienIer]

So it appears that Krill was ready.
I don't understand why you didn't upgrade your chariots beforehand. What was your reason for that ?

At this stage I'm not sure what you should do. You can pillage the silver 2E of AF, but beyond that I'm not sure you can do much more.

[Ventessel]

I was a bit used to holding onto promotions to heal units after combat, a habit I picked up playing FFH (mostly LAN games with a mix of AI and human opponents).
