----- Guards an area with deadly force -----
Point Value: 1
Notes:
Towers are very useful for fighting off invasions and for building stockpiles of explosives. They have twice the vision range and firing range of any mobile unit, they are very hard to destroy, and can hold a rather large garrison. Towers cannot be captured; the only way to take control of an area so guarded is to destroy the tower.
