Towers

Watch Tower

Available in: Tool Age Prerequisites: Build Granary Cost: 150 stone Hit points: 100 Attack: 3 Armor: N/A Range: 5 Speed: Fast Upgrades to: Sentry Tower Special: They fire once every one and a half seconds

Civilizations with bonuses for Watch Towers: Babylonian (double hit points) and Choson (+2 attack range)

Watch Tower Tips: Towers are great for natural choke points. Build a wall in front of your towers to protect them. Don't forget that you can use villagers to repair a tower while it is being attacked - this may make the difference in a battle. Towers are especially useful when they are built on hills, since they get an elevation bonus for their attack and have a 25 percent chance to do triple damage.

Sentry Tower

Civilizations with bonuses for Sentry Towers: Babylonian (double hit points) and Choson (+2 attack range)

Sentry Tower Tips: A "must" upgrade. See watch tower tips for more.

Guard Tower

Available in: Iron Age Prerequisites: Build Granary Cost: 150 stone Hit points: 200 Attack: 6 Armor: N/A Range: 7 Speed: Fast Upgrades to: Ballista Tower Special: They fire once every one and a half seconds

Civilizations with bonuses for Guard Towers: Babylonian (double hit points) and Choson (+2 attack range)

Guard Tower Tips: Another "must" upgrade. See watch tower tips for more.

Ballista Tower

Available in: Iron Age Prerequisites: Build Granary (also research ballistics) Cost: 150 stone Hit points: 200 Attack: 20 Armor: N/A Range: 7 Speed: Fast Upgrades to: N/A Special: They fire once every three seconds

Civilizations with bonuses for Ballista Towers: Babylonian (double hit points) and Choson (+2 attack range)

Ballista Tower Tips: Though powerful, you might still want to intersperse some guard towers in your defenses. Ballista towers are not very efficient at hitting moving targets. See watch tower tips for more.
