Part 20

Bandit Clearing: To clear territory of bandits, kill all units and burn all tents. Typically, 1 battalion of troops can destroy a tent, with the main tent possibly requiring two.

Wild Animals: Explore maps to find wild animals like wolves, lions, and bears, often near hunting areas. They may attack hunters. Send knights or troops to deal with them.

Wolves attack in packs of 4.

Lions are tougher than wolves; bring troops.

Bears are very tough. A bear can kill a soldier per attack. A knight can survive 4-5 hits. For bears, bring a knight as a shield, at least 1 unit of swordsmen, and 1 unit of bowmen. Backup is needed as the bear heals quickly.
