Tips to Use Tower

 

Analyzing Tower (In this case, normal ones)

Cost: Wood 100 Food 100 Gold 150 (Rises 20% per Tower you own)

HP: 20000  Construction Speed: 4500 (90gt) by one peasant

Keeping Cost: 0.0625

Attack: 1000  Rate: 450  Range: 1200  Cost per Shot: Iron 3 Coal 13

 

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.

 

Using Tower in PT30 or Longer

Concentrating Your Army and Attention

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.

Deleting Annoying Unit

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.

Defending the Tower From 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.

 

Using the Tower in the no pt Games

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.

 

At last

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.
