Hello Friends!
Can you all share your pillage and plunder strategies with me?
In my most recent game, I sent five calvary into Washington's territory to pillage. He was engaged in a war with someone else and I wanted to provide assistance to my ally. I was only able to pillage five improvements or so before he hit me with cats from one nearby city, then with rifleman from another on the next turn.
I thought that the calvary would provide some mobility, but apparently the ability of the defender to use roads pretty much counter that.
I've sent a new stack with six calvary and three rifleman with the gunpoweder promotion (I don't remember the name exactly). Hopefully this will work better at countering his rifles, but I wonder if the mobility cost is worth it?
Any ideas?
