Honestly for a rookie, just find ways to lower your costs- you don't really need the guards in front of your room... get the cheaper guards to equip etc. You are limited by funds/ points per day for upgrades. While you can use methods to increase points/ gold on hand using editors or adjusting the codes, it's up to individuals on how much difficulty you want. Failing rounds also gives titles etc. There is basically no specific downside to losing other than having to walk around a day without your weapon ![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
