- Each wave brings a bigger challenge than the last, with 'Battle' waves providing an even greater threat to your town
- You can pick 'Stratagems' which aid your town, your Plebs, and your army
- Stratagems come in a wide variety, for example faster movement over roads, unlocking Metals more quickly, strengthening your Towers, and many many more
