Code:

```python
# Этом уровень покажет, как определять собственные функции.
# Код внутри функции не выполняется сразу. Он сохраняется для последующего использования
# Эта функция заставляет вашего героя поднять ближайшую монету.
def pickUpNearestCoin():
    items = self.findItems()
    nearestCoin = self.findNearest(items)
    if nearestCoin:
        self.move(nearestCoin.pos)

# С помощью этой функции ваш герой призывает солдата.
def summonSoldier():
    # Размести здесь код, призывающий солдата, если у тебя достаточно золота.
    if self.gold >= self.costOf("soldier"):
        self.summon("soldier")
    pass

# Эта функция приказывает вашим солдатам атаковать ближайшего врага.
def commandSoldiers():
    for soldier in self.findFriends():
        enemy = soldier.findNearestEnemy()
        if enemy:
            self.command(soldier, "attack", enemy)

while True:
    # В своем цикле ты можешь "вызывать" функции, определенные выше.
    # Эта строка вызывает выполнение кода внутри функции "pickUpNearestCoin" .
    pickUpNearestCoin()
    enemy = self.findNearest(self.findEnemies())
    if enemy and self.distanceTo(enemy) <= self.attackRange:
        self.attack(enemy)
    # Вызови summonSoldier здесь.
    summonSoldier()
    # Вызови commandSoldiers здесь.
    commandSoldiers()

```

I keep on failing and I don’t know why. Please help.

Remove this near the bottom of the code. The problem is your hero can’t collect enough coins because they’re fighting too much instead of collecting coins. Soldiers fight, Heroes collect 🙂

Hope this helps,

Hm… I’m guessing that that’s your best armour, and that shouldn’t be a problem… Despite the fact that the hints and comments don’t tell you to, try using a “find best value” calculator instead of finding the nearest coin.
