Although you do not have to do the ads but to get sufficient money quicker, it may be needed. I thought I would also report a glitch in the game for continuous leveling for castle and gear. When you the watch video for gear n castle, you watch it, then change to another tab and back and the watch video is refreshed. A few instances, I had to do it twice to get it to refresh

The game is fine for a while. The bigger problems I have are that some enemies are impossible to hit unless you have ground troops that survive. Archers are the only unit that can be upgraded past level 6. There's also no way to upgrade ground troops, and they will lose a 10 v 2 fight. The levels start to become identical. There are also times when shots at enemies (with 30+ projectiles) go straight through them without hitting. Just frustrating. Also no way to get bigger units like your enemy.

This is a fun game. However, I finally uninstalled when some of the ads stretched to 60 seconds in length. Seriously, people! If I am not interested at 15 seconds, I am hating your brand at 60. Update - tried the again. I like some of the changes. Unfortunately, the game won't open. Trying uninstall and reinstall a couple times. No luck.
