Agreed... after you buy those first couple victory expansions, you'll basically be relegated to Arc bonus + CF boosted quest rewards for actual medal income.Deal Castle's medal production is great in the early ages, but it will become insignificant in later ages. The bulk of medals income for high end players will come from GB donation rewards (especially with a high lvl Arc) and from daily quest rewards (when you have decent sized Chateau Frontenac).
Please note if you upgrade both your Basil and Deal to lvl 15 that you won't get a combined 90% defensive attack bonus. It will be more like 66%.
Especially Arc for obvious reasons!
Also Sailwind: don't ever discount the usefulness of the humble Drummer!
While the Colour Guard is mostly impotent by LMA, the Drummer will ALWAYS have value simply your the +1hp he provides.
With him around, it basically means that none of your units can ever one-shot killed.
