Am I getting too far ahead of myself?

I don't like doing battles unless they are some for of "weak". I am currently level 14 and I still havn't completely cleared the castle. Some of the "painting" battles are pretty nasty. I prefer to come back later and save money on troop replacements. If something is stronger than an even match I mark it on my minimap and move on, then come back to it later.
