Posts from Tower tactics.

Here, I propose we discuss the tactics for playing with my favorite city – the Tower. What do you consider to be its advantages, and what are its disadvantages?

Pros: lots of magic, gremlins (good in the early game), nagas, titans. Cons: poor territory, slow movement across it.

Gremlyns (good in the early game)
Only upgraded ones.

+ many archers
- only the regular Naga melee unit is good,
golems are also good if you have the Haste spell.

- Slow development, requires many resources.

However, by the middle of the game, magic, troops, and resources become available.

I remembered another advantage – Solmyr! And giants are relatively easy to deploy, and even before upgrading, there will be a sufficient number of them.

Back then, Kiru was also noteworthy – Diplomacy is a useful skill.

Yes, not a bad hero, but at the beginning, a spellcaster with Chain Lightning is more useful. Minus: mages (hero class) have low defense and a low chance of learning Logistics.

Theodore is also good.

And there’s also Astral, who has Hypnosis and high Wisdom.

And also Astral, he has Hypnosis and advanced wisdom.

I can argue about Astral. IMHO, hypnosis is a useless thing! It never works...

Otherwise - the undeniable pluses: having 3 types of shooters, strong magic, the Library, master djinns with their ability to cast spells, nagas are beasts! In the beginning, the low cost of upgrading Gremlins is a plus, as well as their large number, and fast gargoyles (both upgraded and own).

The minuses - same old cost. A huge amount of resources - at 200% you sometimes search for them for quite a long time. And the low speed of golems :(

Overall - my favorite town, favorite race. What else is there to say!

I can argue about Astral. In my opinion, hypnosis is the most useless thing! It never works...!

Yeah, hypnosis is useless in the 3rd game...
but in the 4th, that's a real power!

Yeah, in the third game, hypnosis is not very effective...
But in the fourth game, that's what I call power!

Well, of course, I was talking about the third game! By the way, I don't play the fourth game...

A single, Library-enhanced Tower of Magic is worth a great deal. It's practically impossible to remain without a couple of powerful spells that deprive your opponents of their... well, let's say, chances for a peaceful life and an easy victory. You'll definitely get something – either City Portal, Resurrection, Chain Lightning, or Berserk. And building the fifth level isn't so scary when you know there will be two spells there.
As for the castle itself, rather than discussing it, let's talk about the tactics: personally, I build everything necessary for the Capitol, including the Castle, during the first week; in the second week, I build ALL the dwellings, including the 7th level (the cheapness of Giants... hip-hip-hooray!), either together with Wings, which increase the growth of gargoyles, or without them – depending on whether we built a Rampart at the beginning of the game; in the third week, I focus exclusively on building the Tower of Magic, getting spells, and then I move on to upgrading units (if an excess of one resource and a shortage of another allows me to upgrade between tower levels, I upgrade gradually starting in the third week).
Well, that's it in general. :smile01:
