Guard Towers should maybe have their own building slot

21 votes

Aside from towers falling off rapidly as the game progresses, the loss of a building small slot almost never makes worth the investment.

In contrast to buffing the towers, I propose for the towers to have a unique building slot (the number of which can, for example, be determined by the size of the city or whatever you think is best). This can make them more viable as they appear more like a bonus defense mechanic to an already developed city without sacrificing building slots (but still requiring economical investment).

Alternatively, a mix could be implemented, where you can still build towers from the small building slots but have an extra unique slot dedicated to the towers (or any other city defenses the devs might implement in the future).

Thank you for creating this wonderful game.

I think it could be an upgrade to bigger dwellings, like walls.

Indeed, that could work too or better even. That way devs don't need to introduce new building placements that would mean redesigning the dwellings

Guard Towers or Guard Tower Building Slots could be Tier 2 Walling

You guys are neglecting small settlements and the scouting towers provide. Their value is very high. Unless you are playing Loth, of course xDDDD

I think the towers are fine as they are, though I do think at least large settlements should have an innate defence force, and towers could maybe go to lvl 3 and get the upgraded versions of the troops

more unique options for defenses in towns as per faction and how developed the city is, are certainly needed in order to make siege defense a more fun and deep experience.

I don't agree with it having a different slot. But it definitely needs a big buff. Walls already have a different slot. Maybe they can be upgrade twice or something because they also need much buffs.
