## Objective

This objective in Castle Defense is to protect the castle from enemy attacks. Enemy attacks are usually by air or by ground. As a defender of the castle you have to build towers and units along the road to stop enemy attacks.

As a defender of the castle you get an alchemist house, cannon towers, lighting towers, knights and wizards at your disposal.

## Basic Strategy

Lighting towers are used to defend enemy attacks and cannot be destroyed by them. A lightning tower is very effective in case of a flying attack while compared to a ground attack.

One unit can only block a certain number of monsters. When it reaches the maximum number, the monster will ignore the unit and go to the castle.

## Armour and Resistance

Monster may have Armour/Resistance which reduces the incoming damage from Attack/Magic.

## Flying Enemies

Flying enemies can reach the castle from paths different from the road on the map. \*Only Lightning Towers and Wizards can attack flying enemies.

## Fast Enemies

Some enemies can move really fast, effectively avoiding the Towers. Use Units to block the road and prevent them from passing.
