It's quite easy to get over 20,000 and even up to over 40,000 by simply keeping your highest square in any of the corners. It takes some improvisation along the way, but it works.
I am not as engaged or immersed into the game as I wished to be. Battles can sometimes take longer than you want and just becomes annoying instead of challenging and fun.
Considering this game was originally Russian, the translation is relatively decent. Tfender: Are you the original Russian creator of CW that simply translated the game?
Definitely improved in v1.2.9. Would like to see some fall damage, though. It's ridiculous to see people escape my shots by just jumping off a building and surviving.
Protip: Bad idea trying to have even stats for each troop. For spears and knights, focus on their push. At times, upgrade the knights attack and the spears defense. For mages, focus on push entirely unless you are not given that choice. Then, upgrade their attack instead. Hope this helps.
