1. So to build a Mill I need to roll a "2" four times or does the circles mean I can build 4 Mills?
No. the (2) is the number of points it's worth at the end.
You need a total of 4 points on the dice to build it. 2+2, 1+3, 1+1+1+1, or a 4. Roll a 5 and you have to allocate somewhere else.
The pips are so you can cross off as you commit dice to building it. You don't have to build it all in one turn. You can commit four 1s to it over four turns.
2. Is the Silo the upgrade for the Warehouse? Does that mean the Mill has no upgrade?
Mill, Tavern, Chapel, Smithy have no upgrades.
Warehouse, Fountain, School, Market do
3. What does "+1B/TR on build" mean under the School? I gain 1 Book per TR? But what's a TR?
TR = Trade Route
4. What's the F in "+1C/5F" under Fountain?
F = typo. Should be a "G"
5. What's "(1)" mean next to each Trade route?
1 point ea/ at end of game
6. What do the circle's mean?
check-offs as you're building the routes (see the "mill" explanation above). You need to check off 5 to build a route to 1st ring of spaces, and 3 more to build to next ring of spaces.
7. Only 5 Trade routes listed, is that the maximum I can have?
Yes. Can't build 'em everywhere!

8. What re the terrain types? Forext, Hills, Plain?, Desert?
Forest, Hills, green = clear, yellow w/ crosshatch = farm
9. What do symbols mean? One looks like a wheat stack, one a scythe and one a deer's head.
Wheat you cross off when you plant that space w/ a farmer
Scythe is the mod to the roll when you harvest. Can't harvest more than you plant
Deer = adjustment for game collected.
So if I plant 4 crops in Moynham (top space, far right column) and I roll a "3" for the harvest, I actually collect 3, +2 for the space bonus, for a total of 5. If I hunt for game in that space with the hunter, I get a +1 to the die roll.
10. Isn't doubles or four of a kind rolled always even?
That refers to the number that appeared as either doubles of 4x. If I roll four 3s, then I roll a 1d6 and consult the "odd" column. If I roll four 2s, I roll 1d6 and consult the "even" column.
Good questions - keep 'em coming!
