I've played it a little bit and it seems EPIC!
Very nice idea!

Hard is really hard. I've reached wave 9 so far on 1x speed (it took me about 23 minutes, so it's pretty long - whole game would probably take about 2 hours).
I tried different speeds to speed things up. It was the first time, I've played on 3x speed (never thought I would do that)! Reached wave 14 on it. Quite fun .

I would try to beat all waves on 1x speed when I have more time, that's for sure.

It would be great, if we could call wave earlier, cause sometimes I was waiting too long. Stonemason could be used for that, since he's not responsible for anything so far.

great idea, i will add this thanks

Nice gamemode, I like it But... could you give bonuses AFTER the waves? For example, the bowmen I received for 100 kills were instantly killed as that's where the enemy had his troops when I received them :x

download avialable at first post of topic

sado1 - hmm its hard mode ;p youll need this bowmen for instant help for your troops (at that time)

How are they supposed to help me, if they get spawned in the middle of a battle, and are immediately killed? xD

hmm you propably making a stand in wrong place.
3 - first line
2 - sencond line
B - bowman spawn

3,2 place where u stand ;p is it wave 4? or wave 5?

Nice gamemode, I survived 29 waves 30th killed alll my troops and destroyed barracks, so I got "easy mode"

There's no point in fighting through the first waves in entrances 2 and 3, if you want to beat them in the easiest way, that's why I am fighting in the narrowest entrance possible (at the citadel). Not to mention, there are AI xbows helping me there. They won't follow my small force when I'd camp on 2 or 3. In fact, I tried to go with 2 armies of swordmen and 1 army of bowmen to entrance nr 2 and I got easily crushed by militia only (wave 6? ). I assume I should've gone archers + militia/axemen, this would work, but still, why would I make it too hard for myself?

Well that's what makes it hard. I think it's kind of good idea, because it forces you to plan ahead and move your troops in front of that place, to protect incoming reinforcements .

You got first reinforcements after 100 kills. When you camp near the castle, you have less kills, because of ally's help. So, you can either move forward and gain score, or stay near castle and take a risk of losing that bonus.

That's what makes this mode interesing. Every new game is different, beacuse of randomness. And you can try different tactics at each wave .

the army in citadel commaned by AI should be used only for rescue, when some ( 5 or 7 units ) enemy troops break trough your line TianK is right.
andreus nice
My wave was about 20 ;p then i started to jumping over random waves like 10, 25, 36 to quick balance ;p
if anyone is interesting in play map in multplayer, post here so we can arragment the room (this week)

I don´t know why this happens, but when i start it, my school is being attacked, and after a short time i have no school anymore. and waves are also not comming. i do not know what to do.
