Battle of Tharcona

I can't understand why some of you find this game so hard i have played about 3 rounds got the hang of it and find it far to easy >.< please add an difficulty setting, I have afew ideas that would make the game better after they destroy the gate you should be able to go into the castle and destroy the castle aswell and have an hero inside the castle to defend and to make it more challanging with an upgrades to make you castle hero stronger. If you guys like the idea + it :-)

its a good idea, but havent got so far yet xD

Hey, thanks for the comments sorry for the game breaking bugs was up at 3.30am (aest) time trying to get it finished as I was not sure I would make it home to complete it before the contest finished.

The money bug was originally a small tax (5%) that would come around every 90 seconds to entice spending but must of did the simple formula wrong in my sleep deprived state :). I have removed that all together, also I made the computer easier and he will no longer get 'free' defence. The bridge bug where it only spawns 1 unit while i can reproduce it, I am yet to find the main cause. @steve - there is a internal spawn time to stop spamming units, is it possible that's the reason the unit was not created? The first time the units engage in battle they strike without animating, so when a large group of units simultaneously attack a unit, it will die without an attack animation being played (still need to fix this).

Not sure if I completely understand the situation but the computer does not get any extra income. There are 2 types of income: natural income (income per second that increases every 90 seconds. The bridge doubles this income) and income per kill (120% of unit cost, 60% for bridge guard). If at the start of the game u sent 2 peasants that took control of the bridge and died at his gates, he would receive 240 gold. So if you play an offensive early game the computer will eventually kill your units and send an even larger army back. The computer starts with a single wall-defender because he spends half his starting money (200) purchasing it.

All of the original bugs have been fixed I believe (check the updates for latest news), I have also added a new spawning system to encourage people to be a bit more active in offense rather then sitting in defence waiting for the money to pile up. @drakenfeld - On the first day the game was near impossible due to a few bugs. I am currently working on setting up a difficulty rating. The idea of having a castle hero sounds reasonable and will be looked into once the units both offense and defence feel balanced. I appreciate the suggestions and everyone who has played the game :).
