Gold available527g (90 start + 409 kills + 28 bonus)

Leak damage if unopposed573 (11.5× the fortress's 50 HP)

Gold available assumes you kill everything. Against 32599.4 total HP, that is roughly 61.9 HP to remove per gold piece you will ever hold — a useful sanity check on whether this level wants more towers or more upgrades.
