Build attack waves that grow steadily and mix enemy types instead of sending one kind

Hand-written waves take hours, and waves picked at random sometimes send a trivial group after a hard one. Here is a way to give each wave a strength budget that always rises, then fill it with a varied mix and report how much is left over.

Why this works

If difficulty is a budget that always rises, no wave can be weaker than the one before, and spending it by going round the enemy types in turn gives a varied mix rather than a pile of one kind. The same inputs always give the same wave, so you can test and tune it.

When not to use it

Wrong for boss fights and story moments that need a hand-made setup, and for games where waves should feel like surprises. A budget also cannot tell a hard group from an easy one at the same price, so playtest the result.
