Income
At the beginning of the game you have 30 gold in the bank, and a starting income of 25 gold. Every 20 seconds of game time your income is added to your bank, there is a timer that displays the time remaining to the next income cycle. As income is paid, all players are given a text mesage showing the current income of every player in the game. I strongly advise you to pay attension to that list as it is critical to know who is capable of summoning the higher end creeps. Try to raise your income quickly, as the higher level creeps are far more effective at penetrating (or in the case of attackers - destroying) your opponents defences.
Raise Income : Every creep you summon at the shrine/super shrine increases your income base by the amount listed in the tooltip. The only exception is the Phoenix attacking unit which LOWERS your income by 25,000 gold. Note that lower cost creeps generally have a better cost to income ratio then higher level creeps.
Attackers
Most of the units summoned in the game are simple maze running creeps, however 3 units are different. The demolition machine (shrine), siege engine, and phoenix are all tower attackers which attempt to destroy your opponents maze. Tower attackers are most effective against someone who builds complicated mazes, and not as effective against a player who packs their towers together densely.
------ a special note about Phoenix
Phoenixes are the only summons which REDUCE your income (-25,000 income) but they are the best tower attackers in the game. Additionally, when a phoenix is killed it explodes, damaging or destroying towers in it's immediate vicinity.... It is best to try and micro the phenixes so they end up doing as much damage as possible, especially with the final death explosion.
Technology
Below your shrine/super shrine area is the tech area, in which you have 3 starting wisps. Across from the wisps are circles of power with their corrosponding elemental towers. Use the wisps to chose which towers you want to build (all the high level towers upgrade from the Elemental towers built by your builder).
When you eliminate another player, you are given an extra wisp to buy new technologies with.
If this is your first time playing, i suggest you pick the light towers, and the enchanted mushroom as your first technology picks.
