THE TOWER

Wizards and Alchemists study their arcane craft in Towers. Tower populations are comprised of creatures bound into service by powerful magic, made on the spot, or allied with the town through ancient pacts. Tower armies have uniformly good morale and some of the best range attack units available.

The tower town is weak in the early game, but it has some excellent late game units and powerful magic. It is also very good with ranged units, with three by the late game. Its buildings are expensive, though, with high building dependencies. The tower is vulnerable in the early game, because its units are very slow and its one ranged unit, the mage, requires several buildings for its dwelling to be built. This town needs its upgrades because it is very slow in combat. However, with its powerful spells, it can stay in the game until it gets them.


HALLS


TOWN
 


MAGE GUILD
 


The special buildings aid this town in spellcasting and exploration. The lookout tower can be built immediately and reveals the map in a huge area around the town. However, to get the most use out of this building, you need to build it in the first week (if not the first day), which will cost you a day of climbing up the creature dwelling tree. The library grants an extra spell per spell level in the mage guild, while the wall of knowledge permanently boosts your visiting heroes' knowledge. The other special building is the artifact merchant, which allows you to buy artifacts at an incredibly steep price. You probably won't have the money to use it until well into the late game. The blacksmith builds ammo carts and the resource silo produces +1 gems. The only horde building boosts gargoyle production.
