@Vaefio When you have a certain amount of minion ( 10, 50, 100, ... , 1k ), you will receive certain bonuses which you can discover by hovering your cursor over the circles.
When all of your minions classes ( skeleton - demon ) have unlocked the bonuses above, for example all minions have reached 10 or more units, the first circle will turn green, showing that you have unlocked even more bonuses
