## **Castle Overview**

> [This Castle has all available slots, no units are equipped]

1. Gold - This is your gold, don't spend it all in one place!
2. Crystals - Awarded by completing waves and used for various upgrades. The base cap for Crystals is 60 but can be increased to 99 through a leader and a treasure. Crystals that were either bought from the store, gotten through daily rewards or obtained through Chance Boxes will ignore this cap and go into a separate section (visible through Orange Text).
3. Player Level - Gain levels by fighting monsters, each level awards you 1 skill point. The level cap used to be 401 but was increased to 421 when the Oldest Tree was added. When you reach level 421, you can begin to collect EXP for the Oldest Tree.
4. Health Points - When this reaches 0, you lose your current battle.
5. Mana Points - Used by your Heroes to cast spells, slowly regenerates over time.
6. Castle Upgrade - Increases your total Health by 50 and increases your total Mana points by 10.
7. Town Archer Upgrade - Increases how many Town Archers you have (up to 20 Archers or 2 Cannons) and their damage.
8. Skills - Learned by earning skill points, which you receive while gaining Player levels. A total of 420 skill points can be used so far.
9. Treasures - Trinkets that add bonuses to your Castle, Town, and Heroes. You can have 1 Weapon Treasure and 4 other Treasures equipped at once.
10. Colonies - A map with enemy towns and treasures that you can fight to conquer, allowing you to develop your own towns in their place.
11. Guild - Allows you to join, compete, and communicate with the community. Requires Wave 50 to join and Wave 2000 to create one.
12. Battle - Begin battle with the next wave of enemies, these guys mean business!
13. Replay - Travel back in time to kill them again, since it was so fun the first time.
14. Infinite Wave - Also known as "Hell mode" it's similar to battle, but it never ends! Difficulty increases over time.
15. Tips - Redirects your browser here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GrowCastle/
16. Decks - Save up to 5 different unit configurations and swap between them.
17. Inventory - Items acquired from battle and your Dark Crystals end up in here.
18. Battle Results - Displays how much damage each of your units have done in the previous battle(broken down into three parts: All units and buildings, just units, and just buildings). Also displays gold earned in a fourth tab.
19. Save/Load - Import or export your saved file to the Cloud server.
20. Leader-boards - Displays your rank based by waves completed and in damage done in Hell mode. You can also change your name here. Leader-boards also have seasons which give players rewards for playing well.
21. Settings - Here you can adjust your music and battle/game sound volume, graphics quality, how your game saves, and see your version number.
22. Town - Brings you to your town, where you can buy ~~slaves~~ workers, spoil your archers, do science on your enemies, and trade Red Crystals for rewards.
23. Heroes - Up to 12 (or 13 if you buy the additional slot) unique heroes units can be placed here, each with unique abilities and spells. You can change, upgrade, promote and equip your heroes with items.
24. Bosses - Here you can fight various Dragon bosses that reward you with items for your heroes as well as some gold. All dragons from Red Dragon and onwards will increase in difficulty each time you beat them.
25. Buildings - Similar to Treasures, you may equip up to 3 unique Town buildings at a time.
26. Towers - Non-interactive units that either grants a passive bonuses or do damage, can be upgraded with gold to improve their effects i.e more damage.
27. Town Archers - Improved by upgrades [7]. Upgrading also changes their appearance. There are 2 types of Town Archers: Archers and Cannons. Cannons deal tons of damage (over 3x compared to regular archers), deal a bonus 5x to Colony Castles and have an additional 50% splash damage effect. The downside of cannons is that they are slower than archers (Slow vs. Fast)
28. Castle - Pressing this button allows you buy, change, and upgrade to castle parts, similar to towers but upgraded using Crystals.
29. Leader - Much like a Hero but moves around on the battle field and can be killed.
30. Colony Cart - Brings you gold every 60 seconds, the amount is based on how many Colonies you have captured and their difficulty.
