Overview[]
Watch Towers are a good defensive unit and can hold back early rushes if placed behind walls in early ages. Its strength will dramatically decrease once the Bronze Age is reached so it is advised to upgrade it to the Sentry Tower as soon as possible. It is recommended to place them at higher elevations since the attack will be increased.
