Tower
Please try editing in [[Stronghold Wiki:Sandbox]] before you start to edit articles
Towers are defensive structures that are, essentially, elevated positions for the castle's missile troops to fire from. They provide protection against ranged attacks and also enhance the range of the ranged troops on top of them. A brazier can also be placed on top of towers, mainly for augmenting the archer's damage capabilities and for triggering pitch ditch. The larger towers, namely the square tower and the round tower can also support a mounted mangonel or ballistae. In order to be accessed, towers must be attached to a wall with stairs or to a gatehouse.
Changes in Crusader
Stronghold: Crusader introduced the lookout tower, in addition to the cosmetic changes to the other towers in order to match the desert theme. Lookout towers are very tall towers with very little space for troops(up to five units can fit on top of it), however they provide a huge range boost. It is, however, also the most fragile of all towers, having only 250 hit points.
Tower types
Lookout Tower Crusader exclusive. As stated above this is the tallest yet thinnest tower, offering unmatched range bonus and protection against missiles, but also having the least hit points(250 as stated above). It is also prone to tunneler attacks.
Wooden Platform Stronghold exclusive as crusader removed all kinds of wooden defence. This platform can be built next to wooden walls. It provides minimal range bonus and missile protection.
Perimeter Turret Originaly the cheapest stone tower, the Perimeter turret offers moderate range increase and missile protection capabilities, as well as it is very cheap. Prone to tunneler attacks.
Defence Turret A larger version of the perimeter turret, it can hold more troops, is slightly taller meaning better range bonus and missile protection. However, it is not immune to tunneler attacks.
Square Tower A large tower that can take alot of punishment. It can support a mangonel or a balistae and can hold a large number of troops. It offers great protection versus projectiles, with a great range boost too. Immune to tunneler attacks.
Round Tower The most expensive tower in the game. It takes a tremendous amound of punishment to take down, supports mounted siege engines along with the largest number of troops out of any tower and is second only to the Lookout Tower in terms of missile protection and range. Immune to tunneler attacks.
