Stop wasting time with this and go save the people of Hyrule from their terrible fate!

Perhaps you could explain to me the purpose and use of the quartered circles labled a and c? I assume it means archers and catapult but what's the point?

Also, are you playing the easy level? If so, bump it up and see how long you last. I played easy to level 30 or so and was bored. Bumped it up to medium and increased the # of enemies on the field and was dead in 3 levels.

I got bored after level 13 - and those quartered circles don't do a damn thing.

You drag the circles to where you want the catapults or archers to aim. It took me a while to figure that out and the game was much more managable when I did. Depending on terrain and wind, you might want them placed low so they aim down from your higher castle or the opposite in high wind or if the enemies are approaching from higher ground. Just keep in mind that you don't want to put the circles where you want the objects to fall, you use them to determine how high the objects are fired based upon where they need to fall.

I am playing on medium and I adjusted the options some, but I forget how much. I had it on hard but found it to be difficult enough to make the game too much like work. The main thing is that on harder difficulties you really have to replay levels to build experience and upgrade items. When you manage to get to one of them, the levels that are multiples of ten are best since they have bosses which can really give you a lot of experience when you can dispatch them fairly quickly.

Level 60 took me a long time to clear on medium, I left it paused and came back five or six times. Whether or not it is intended, you can change the difficulty on a whim. I might try level 60 later on insane just to see if it is even possible.

Ah, okay. I was putting them where I wanted rocks to fall and it did't seem to do anything. Thanks!

So that's what those circles do. Or how you do it with them. Or whatever.

The circles show where the archers and catapults are aiming. But the aiming doesn't allow for the ballistic trajectories and the range of both is fairly short.

I use the archers for short-medium suppression as a back up when I get busy dealing with those bloody little dragons. I won't be buying catapults again, the friendly fire tends to take houses out.

fun stuff, reminds me of the good old days

I am on level 59. Definitely an old-style computer game.
