How to Play

The Concept
There are two teams with a maximum of 6 people who fight each other. The goal is to take down the Castle of the enemy team and defend yours. Defending can be done by placing towers and hitting the mobs with your bow or sword. Two Castle Guards are placed close to the Castle to offer some help defending. Attacking can be done by sending troops to the other team’s track. The coloured beacons show where the mobs will spawn. If you don’t know which side is yours, use tab to see which colour your team is and then look at the colour of the beacons.

There are two currencies in the game: Coins and Experience. Experience is referred to as EXP in-game. It is used to unlock troops, upgrade troops, upgrade your Goldmine (referred to as gm by some players) and unlock potions. EXP is gained by your mobs dying at your opponent’s track. The coins are used to build towers, send troops and upgrade your sword or bow. It is gained by killing mobs on your track (damage does not count) and automatically by your Goldmine. The stronger the mobs you kill, the more coins you get and upgrading your Goldmine will increase the rate at which Coins are generated.

One match takes 40 minutes, 25 minutes before Armageddon and 15 minutes after. For throwing potions and sending mobs there is a cool down. This cool down is always 15 seconds, to play the game perfectly, time your potions and sending perfectly.

Ultimately, your goal is to balance defence and offence to win the game.

Game Modes & Pricing Options
There are two game modes, three pricing options and 3 Armageddon modes to choose from.

The game modes are Normal and Survival. In Survival game mode the mobs will be sent in waves and you will be queuing your troops for next wave. At the top you can see how much time there is left until the next wave comes. You can only send 5 troops per wave in Survival, but you will get your EXP immediately.

The pricing options are Normal Income, Double Income and Quick Start. In Double Income you get double the Coins from the Goldmine and killing troops, and you get double the EXP from sending troops. Quick start is the same as Normal Income, but you will start with 100 EXP and 1500 Coins. Sometimes Normal Income is referred to as Half Income as a joke because it is so slow.

The Armageddon modes are Lightning, Wither and Horde. In all modes the Castle Guards are disabled when the Armageddon mode starts, and the health of the Castle is decreased to 25% if not already below. In Lightning mode, lightning will randomly destroy towers on both sides. In Whither mode, the Whither will spawn and advance slowly towards the Castle while resurrecting Wither Skeletons and destroying towers leaving a trail of death and terror. In Horde mode, powerful troops will spawn and march with their only purpose to bring the Castle down.
