Kingdom Rush Tips and Tricks:
BASICS:
Types of Towers:
Barracks towers send out soldiers which fight directly with enemies, but not flying units.
Mage towers which are slow, strong against armored enemies.
Archer towers are fast (except for sniper, which is slow) and strong against magic enemies.
Bombs/artillery towers which are slow and mostly don't affect flying enemies.
Skills:
Rain of Fire. Huge area damage, but takes 90 seconds to reload.
Reinforcements. Basically a few soldiers like the barracks, but you can deploy them anywhere. However they disappear after a period of time if they haven't been killed. Takes 10 seconds to reload.
Achievements:
Pretty self explanatory mostly, but "Like a Henderson" is gotten by unleashing Rain of Fire on the frozen door in Icewind; "Ovinophobia" is gotten by clicking repeatedly on all the sheep in the first level until they explode; "Twin Rivers Angler" is gotten by watching for a fish jumping out of a river and clicking on it quickly in Twin Rivers.
Upgrade Points:
Earn 60 stars by completing levels and challenge levels, and an additional two by clicking at the little down arrow at the top of the map screen and clicking on the Twitter and Facebook links. Spend them on upgrades. You can reset and try a different upgrade strategy.
OTHER TIPS:
In general, quantity over quality. That is, place more towers before upgrading towers.
Even more than most TD games, this one demands choke points. Think of barracks and reinforcements more as ways to slow down waves so as to create large crowds which your other towers can fire away on, or that you can wipe out with a rain of fire.
You need a good balance of archers to get magical enemies and mages to get armored enemies, especially in the later levels.
A level won't start until you start it, so take your time getting towers built and planning your strategy.
Don't bother trying to do heroic or iron challenges until you've completed the regular campaign mode. You need the upgrade points.
