The triangular monster tokens are ingenious-they're designed to fit in each arc going around the castle, and the shape allows you to easily keep track of how many damage points it has remaining. If you've purchased all the upgrades you've wanted, this shouldn't matter in the later stages, as you should always earn more points than you will lose.Overall, the components are just very nicely done and everything works as intended. You will occasionally lose archers/workmen/wizards between stages, and without any reserves to replenish them, you'll be hurting in later stages.Īll active converts (archers/wizards/workmen) will subtract from your spendable point total, but not your overall score. Remember to always have converts in reserve, and to make you keep converting enemies. Clicking on them will trip them up, however. They can only be killed by archers or spells. By the time they would become useful, you should already have a Mana Pool, and the Detonate spell is far more useful. They won't help much in later stages.Ī Demo Lab is best skipped over. It's best to keep a small force, but not to go overboard. Hotkeys are "3" or "D"Īrchers are good for relieving the pain of tossing enemies, but you can't rely on them to do all the work.

Once the light vanishes, you will have a convert (which will appear under your life bar) and you can pick another attacker to convert. Once purchased, drag and drop an attacker into your castle (but not from a height that will kill them.) If done correctly, a beam of light will shoot out from the castle, and after 10 seconds it will vanish. A Temple will allow you to convert attackers instead of just killing them.

Fortify Walls: Add 100 extra it points onto your castle.Costs 100, 500, or 2000 points depends on the amount repaired.
