Strategic Analysis
Watch Towers provide active defense with arrow fire. They can hold key positions and protect vulnerable areas like gold mines.
- Tower Rush (Trush): Build towers aggressively near enemy resources to deny their economy. This requires significant stone investment.
- Defensive Towers: Place towers to protect gold, woodlines, or chokepoints. They force enemies to bring siege or suffer losses.
- Garrison Bonus: Garrison villagers in towers under attack. Each garrisoned unit adds an arrow, up to 5 total.
Warning: Towers are expensive and immobile. Rams and siege can destroy them easily. Don't over-invest in static defense.
