That means you better play this game forever or you'll be known as a quitter too. :D

You better report back every week!

How do you guys get so many archers and stuff? I drop the enemy in the castle and it takes soooo long to convert.... or did you use the wizards to do it? I'm still at level 14 or 15 and haven't tried going higher...

You've got to use the wizards, once you get over about 50 of them you can just continually convert people.

Craftsmen: 100
Castle: 60 000

Oh, and the reason why you're losing your guys is because of UPKEEP. You need to have enough SPENDABLE POINTS to pay off the UPKEEP

no, i have plenty of money (points) to pay the upkeep and i still keep losing my archers (starting around level 12). not worth the aggravation.

Stage 128
299k casualties
62 million points

You're a dumbass.

you need to have more money at the beginning of the round than the upkeep at the end of the round.

Actually I think notfred's bitterness comes from the fact that so few people find him likable ;)

I realized that I had too many archers... to not have it automated, I had only 20 or 30 archers, but hundreds of mages... and hundreds of craftsmen. I just sat here and converted everyone who reached the castle to my side. With that many mages, I never ran out of "conversion mana" or whatever it is... I was literally converting at a rate of about 1 per second, by the time I hit level 25. And, I just let the guys build up until I probably had thousands on deck waiting to be trained. I never bothered with the demolition building option. To anyone just learning to play, it's a good idea *not* to train all of the guys you have on deck. That way, when the game suddenly decides to kill a few hundred of your guys... you can refill their positions immediately. I never bothered trying to get to level 100 something.... but there's no way in the world I could have been defeated.

Drpizza as long as you have enough money you'll never have the game steal any of your guys. I think you need to have upkeep money from the round BEFORE the round you're just finishing - so upkeep is taken from a round early each time it seems to me.
