    Hotfix 1.0.2

    Patch Notes: Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where archer towers would endlessly consume coins without upgrading. Coin Mischief: Some coins were trying to fly away from time to time. We kindly reminded them they are, in fact, coins and should stay put! Bug Fix: Resolved a bug that caused soldiers to stop moving after our walls were destroyed. Tweak: Made a minor adjustment to permanent upgrades. Holy Knight Update: Our Holy Knight was randomly joining the defense line. We made sure it reads the holy book unless we specifically call it to battle! UI Improvement: Updated some of our UI texts to enhance user experience. Enemy Coordination: We encouraged enemies to fight together. After all, a mage without their squad is just a lonely spellcaster, right? We’ll keep improving the game to ensure you have more fun (We know that nobody likes bugs, Don't worry🤗) Stay tuned, and thanks for playing!
