I really think that in interactive buddy 2 should have more of a decision between being good to the buddy, or just destroying him. Right now, there isn't really a choice if you want to make money. + if you agree
Tip: To make good money early on, try buying the halberdier, then sending that unit into only 1 lane. The AI will tryn counter it with swordsmen, archers and axmen. If the AI sends a few archers, counter it by sending a few spearmen in the back to rush them. Also if you need cash, do this, and when you are about to win, surrender to make quick cash. + if this helps
