📘 Castle Siege — How to Play

Goblins march on the castle from three separate roads. You gather wood and stone, build towers, and also raise an army to raid the enemy camps. Castle Siege is not a pure tower-placement game — it asks for resource management and a real offense/defense balance: defend only and the later waves will eventually overwhelm you; never go on the offensive and no road ever gets easier.

1. Send workers to a resource

Tap a tree or a rock — the worker walks there, gathers, brings it back to the castle and returns on its own. No need to give orders one by one; once sent, it keeps going until that resource runs out.

2. Build towers and a barracks

Spend wood and stone to place towers along the road — each new tower costs a bit more than the last. Build a barracks to start training warriors and archers.

3. Face the first wave

Waves open up gradually: the first wave comes from a single road, then a second, then a third road joins in. Towers fire automatically while you keep preparing.

4. Raise an army

Select every warrior and archer at once with the ARMY button, or hold shift and drag to box-select a group.

5. Raid a camp

Send your army to attack a goblin camp. Destroying it stops that road's attacks for good and pays out loot — defense alone will not win the game, raiding is the real payoff.

6. Clear all 60 rounds

The campaign runs a full 60 waves, and enemy numbers climb steadily as you go. Survive the 60th wave and the castle wins.

What to expect at this age

An 8-9 year old usually pours every coin into towers first and neglects the barracks — that holds up for roughly the first 15-20 waves, then the attacks start breaking through. Around age 10-11, the "economy first, then towers, then an army" order clicks. By 12-14, the real skill is timing the camp raid: attack too early and your defense is thin, wait too long and all three roads pile up at once.

At home and in class

Works well taking turns: one child manages the workers, another builds towers, a third commands the army and raids a camp. After each wave, asking "which road sent the most goblins, and why?" turns into real map-reading. At 60 waves it is also a natural fit for spreading the campaign across several short sessions instead of one long sitting.

Tips

• Don't think of towers alone — pair them WITH a barracks: towers slow enemies down, an army finishes them off.
• Each new tower costs more than the last one, so a few well-placed towers beat covering every spot.
• Destroying a camp stops that road's attacks for good — taking one down early makes the rest of the run much easier.
• A worker whose resource runs out automatically moves to the next tree or rock in the same cluster — no need to reassign it by hand.
• To select several soldiers at once, hold shift and drag a selection box, or just press the ARMY button.
