What would you have done?

[Crustacian]

Got in on this a bit late, but I would have took that vet horse and hit the barb horse for sure. Hopefully the king would not vanish before you could catch him. You NEVER know when more Barbs will show up either truly. The ONLY time I would go for the gold would be to help rush buy something very important at the moment, but someone mentioned this already too.
Your Bold horse unit is mourned.
