I really think an auto fire option would be great. Holding down the button gets a bit crampy for old people like me with arthritis.

Last stage, last wave, a ghost got through my defense without me noticing, and when I "won" the stage i realized i lost my 3 stars because it took down half my hitpoints

A good tip is to put points into XP Gain at the beginning until it's maxed out. When you hit the max level faster because of it you can reset your skill points and can then put the points into other things and not worry about XP Gain at all.

Fix the lag. How am I suppose to get a 3-star rating on the last level if I can barely even shoot at what I'm aiming at? This isn't Bloons, there shouldn't be this much lag.

And I am not to crazy about the screen scrolling back and forth. I would like to be able to see my hero shooting as well as the enemy.

To be honest, I only had to replay level 8 in order to beat this game with my method. Basically, start upgrading your champion skill tree. Only upgrade the bow upgrades first (each all the way to 5 before you start the next). Then do the two at the bottom. Then work on the xp/shotgun/cannon. Make sure to max out each before going to another one. After that skill tree is maxed, move to the protector. Make sure to upgrade the spikes -> coins -> barricade -> hitpoints -> hitpoint regen. Then go to sorcerer skill tree and max out heal. Those are the only skills I ever upgraded and I beat the game using the 4 right rows of spikes / barricades in middle row / last three rows of archers technique. Good luck!

I was glad when I hit max level, not because I wanted the sorcerer branch but because the "talent points available" available sign quit appearing. It had a nasty habit of protecting dragons from my sight on that last level in addition to popping up at the wrong time.

If you have 4 rows fully upgraded spikes you really don't have to worry about the spiders and other little crawlers. Add to that a row of archers and you can forget about them. Just follow what BennyGreen above suggests and you will cake walk though most of this. I used a row of fully upgraded barricades to protect all my archers since they are much cheaper to replace. Max out Champion tree to start and you've got it. I didn't use anything in the sorcerer tree at all and walked through with 3 stars on all levels in 2 hours.

Completing the game seems literally impossible. I've gotten to wave 5/5 on the last level 2x now, and each time it just freezes halfway through, and locks up flash and firefox completely. Neat. 1/5

For last level I just did front four rows spikes, back three rows archers, then knights in the final fillable row. Shotgun on the horizon, and lightning whenever a dragon, fire elemental, or giant ogre got halfway through the spikes.

I remember giving up after barely not beating the last level a million times in a row a year or two ago. I think it's about time to try again, if only briefly -- this might be my favorite game on Kongregate (certainly on the Citadel at least).

My layout (starting at the castle): 1 row maxed archers, 2 row maxed walls, the rest ice traps. for weapons i switch between the shotgun and cannon, occasionally using lightning on dragons or elementals and healing my walls
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Last stage layout: 1 row of freeze traps up front, 2 x spike rows behind it. A wall section in between the traps and 4 rows of archers. Use lighting for the dragons and the shotgun to finish them off after you zap them. Use fireball for the frozen creeps and cannon for crowd control. The healing spell has its use too, especially during wave 5. Use it on the walls in between tasks.

I confirm dot123's recommendation for 3 star level set up (left to right) 2 spike, 2 wall, 4 archer (everything fully upgraded) and then alternate arrow, cannon, shotgun. Rebuild walls as they crumble. After trying BennyGreen and Krolan's set ups a couple times on the final level, dot123's is definitely superior.

"Level 9: Cold Night It's so quiet ... Something doesn't feel right. The enemy might be planning an ambush. PREPARE FOR ATTACK!"
Here's an itemized list of exactly what is about to "ambush" you in the castle you drag around with you.

Why do we still have to pick up coins in 2013? Sorry but what a ridiculous comment, you should have to pick up the coins because it's a game, and games don't play themselves...why are you people even bothering to play if you don't actually want to do anything? The laziness of people astounds me...

Hoping sequel will have archers able to be placed on the tower wall as well. I mean why should you be the only one who can hit the dragons.

This is a great game. Didn't ever get super laggy (just a wee bit slow) and it was pretty fun early on. You become pretty powerful with some decent upgrades and making the most of Cannon and shotgun fire and then you use those wall correctly you can get not only a defense but some solid archer support.

In the late levels if you use 2 rows of ice towers the only things fast enough to get through the 3 rows of archers I had were the flaming guys. leaving just them and the dragons to deal with. I only lost 1 knight. I enjoyed the game but the graphics engine is angry and the title screen never did load but the button is still there just takes some clicking. Also the levels took a bit to load as well but probably my slow connection. keep up the good work.

1/5 flash game that is unplayable on an old system. It's a flash game, not skyrim. I can play many of the games on Kongregate, but some have decided that eye candy is more important than a great game. If this is a great game, I sure wish I could play it!

My final level had (from left to right) One row of spikes (maxed out. Having multiple rows doesn't help, since the bad guys travel across them too quickly. Having archers or knights in an extra row allows for a lot of extra damage and can keep the baddies on the spikes longer), one row of freeze totems (Maxed out. Slow down and stop bad guys so they get hit by spikes a lot more, and keeps them off your troops) One row of Knights (maxed out, stop baddies from getting to my archers. Only had to replace 4 of them throughout the battle) And finally 5 rows of archers(maxed out. Does massive damage and mows down bad guys including elementals and ogres) I used max Fireball and Iceball to kill the dragons, and tossed a couple onto the mobs just for fun.

there is a really interesting thing about health upgrade! when leveling up if yopu have low health, you can reset talents and put points in health upgrade again. Upgraiding this skill heals your castle. So you can max it again after resetting talents. And again.. and woohoo.. you have max health.. even if you had 1 hp :D

Great game! a 5/5, but can you consider adding a help button? Really helps if you don't know what affects the stars, or any other details about the game.
