Nope. That's it. THey just come a little faster and in greater numbers over time, but by then you'll have your forces built up so tough it doesn't matter.

ok, well i'm on pretty much autopilot right now.. 150 mages, 350 archers 50 craftsmen, and 185000 castle strength

guys complaining about losing units due to improper upkeep -

when it calculates how much upkeep you need, it uses the leftover money from after you finished buying stuff from the last round.

I'm not exactly sure how it works, but after buying your junk, make sure you have enough money for the upkeep of all the men you plan on using the next round.

yeah, if thats it, then its bad, but hey, what can you do. =P

The only way to keep it remotely fun at higher levels is to not upgrade your castle at all so that they have a shot at beating you...

500 archers, 40 builders is enough to defend an upgraded castle against pretty much anything. Upgrading your castle to 1000000 rules out any possibility of being defeated... EVAR!

i don't get it

i found my own answer:

The reason you lose units when you finsih a level is UPKEEP.
There is a cost for each unit you have when you finish a level. You must have enough points left over from the LAST level to sustain the units you have when you finish the CURRENT level.

EG.
You finish stage 10 and spend all your points
You train 8 archers in stage 11
When you finish the level, you need to pay upkeep with the points you
had at the end of the LAST level. Since you had 0 points, you lose
all of your archers.

Just finished level 28.
420 Archers
120 Mages
80 Builders

It was cool for a few levels but gets too repetitive. And now my wrist hurts from flinging people around.
