HOw the heck do I get several hundreds of archers and wizards? It takes forever to produce one dude to train

Spend your money on mana, and after a certain point you can convert them with wizards.

Good game, but after a while you can leave it on autopilot and just check back every once in a while.

As soon as you can afford it buy a temple. From then on keep training to get as many converts as possible. As soon as you can afford it get an archery, but only make like 6 archers the first while. This so you have some help, but it doesnt cost much money yet.

If it gets too hard just train a few more, to a max of about 25 (for the time being).
But try to postpone it until it gets too hard otherwise, as you need the cash.

As soon as you have enough money (40000, but make sure you have 44000-46000 at least, as upkeep counts before actual money, and you will lose units if you dont have enough) buy a mana pool, and turn all the converted people into wizards. Press 's' for fast blowing up of people, but keep converting and making them wizards. After a while you can use the convert spell too, but as it eats mana only use it when it's safe (when you have enough mana for one or two explosions afterwards, and keep converting normally too.

The moment you hit about 50-100 wizards (I like having 100, means you can cast convert almost indefinately) your regen is so high that you dont have to worry about not having enough mana for explosions anymore, and you can just keep exploding and converting constantly. Put all converts into archers until you have about 100-150 of them. Now get a repair crew of 50, then back to the archers to boost them to 250-300. Buy castle upgrades so your wall can take 20k or more damage, and get 100-150 repairmen (150 means only the exploding dudes can harm the castle for a second). Just click ok once in a while and do something else the rest of the time. The runs get longer and longer, so it's no use waiting for it anymore.

I've just passed stage 50 with over 10M points.

so after stage 20 or so it's more like Progress Quest than an actual game you play?

Okay, so I got owned in Castle Defend. Let's see you try to beat my score in Flysui :D

Link to high score

That game is boring. How do you save/report your score in Castle?

No, it's not.:p

You have to die.

That sucks, I haven't upgraded anything in 60 levels and they are nowhere close to killing me.
