HOARD - in treasure and princess rush modes, when you drop gold off at the pile, you heal. bell towers in town also have healing powerups. But, that is not the case in hoard mode. You have to capture princesses. And its bonkers how much crap is running around a level after a couple minutes. While there are a lot of princess carts, there are a ton of knights and just ONE wizard tower can ruin your day. So I got a new strategy - stay in this corner. Keep burning the town center so it doesnt make archers (another literal thorn in your scaly hide...)
Since you are floating over a town center, wagons and carriages come to you.
Thats right - wheeled carts with bitches and gold just come right to your door.
These first 3 images also show the 3 map themes - grassland, tundra and desert. The 2nd and 3rd come as DLC. I like the tundra the best - its easier to spot stuff.
