The
biggest weak point of the tower is that it us immovable, and it won't shoot if
the enemy unit is too close. Also even if you do the “Defense of Fortification
+80” upgrade, it can be destroyed in instance if your enemy has many mortars.
It is long to create and the keeping cost isn't so cheep. So what's the point
of using this? So I'll explain the reasons that you need towers.
In
the pt 30 game, almost all player make the wall. And in add-on, because of the
pt lines, players are able to spread their territory as much as they can, and
because there is a vast territory, it is now hard to gather your army in to one
place, and you have to be careful in lot of places. The Tower will let you
concentrate on one place. Think about making two towers in the each end of your
territory, if your enemy doesn't have any mortars, your enemy has to assault to
the place where your army is, which isn't so effective. So you are now able to
gather your army to one place, where you don't have any towers.
One
of the great feature of the tower is that its accuracy. The tower is able to
hit unit you want, so you can use this to delete the unit that is threatening.
For example, for Turkey and Algeria using the tower to destroy the multi-barrel
cannon is extremely important. The tower is also a best way to defend your
wall from the threats of enemy archers.
There
is no way to defend the tower from mortars, but it is possible to defend from
the enemy archer. Just put some musketeers
around the tower and upgrade the tower so it can annihilate the archers before
it can go in to the shooting range. To make it sure, use some hand to hand
fighting unit as the guard of musketeers.
In no
pt games, if you have a tower in the middle of the town, it will greatly increase
your defense. It also makes you easier to get rid of cossacks
raid. If you make two, the enemy will be very hard to attack your town. However,
it is hard to upgrade them because in no pt, your opponent will be constantly
attacking.
Tower
is the attacking defensive fortification, so if you can use it very well, it
won't only increase your defense, but it will make a chance to attack.
