Byzance is going to discover that they have Iron just on the other side of the river.
Does anyone know/think they have a chance of mining it under the pressure (lucky, no road needed as well
)?
How many archers will they need for that ?
If there are 3 charriots around (or is it 4), they need 4 archers to protect the worker since they are more likely to lose each battle, but they also need at least 3archers in the city to avoid losing it (and to kill the injured chariot). That means 7 archers minimum.
Or is there a better way, which would consist in attacking and killing each chariot first (costly especially if they are stacked) to get some breathing time/space. In that case, 7 archers is probably not quite enough in case of bad rolls.
Should they change their plans and go archers crazy or sailing to unknown is better from their pov (there is copper in the island, but they don't know for sure)
