Tower

A Tower in the Prehistoric Age

The Tower is the first defensive building available to the player and can be built in any age. The Tower is an effective building in that it provides a relatively long line of sight and range and is stonger than most of the military units available in the Prehistoric Age and Stone Ages, thus providing good early defence, though from the Stone Age onward the tower becomes vulnerable to the earliest siege unit available, the Sampson, which is hard to kill with towers.
