Wow, it gets really annoying. I have units attacking the castle, and the enemy gets a barrage of invulnerable archers to snipe at them till they're dead. >_>
The same annoying bit where enemy units with more range than mine attack my units from behind the castle, and my units don't fight back because they're attacking the castle, is still there. >>
For all those attempting to complete the game under 8 minutes, you don't have to get the newspapers. The numbers are constant, so if you can remember them, or if you have them written down, just skip the scraps.
