| Increases movement points by +500 when heroes move on water with a boat. |
Lighthouse as seen on the adventure map. This lighthouse is now under your control, and all of your ships will now move further each turn. |
The Lighthouse is a building and adventure map feature which increases all ones heroes' movement speed using boats by +500 movement points.
The effect is cumulative (meaning that owning two Lighthouses increases all heroes' movement points by a total of +1000 on water, and so on)
Navigation skill does not affect this bonus.
Lighthouse can only be built in cities with access to water, meaning that adjacent to the garrison tile must be at least one tile of water.
Bug: a Lighthouse built in a Castle gives water movement bonus to all players: an owner, allies and enemies (fixed in Horn of the Abyss 
).
Lighthouse as an adventure map object[edit | hide | hide all]
Lighthouses on the adventure map have the same effect (except there is no "movement points for everyone" bug).
They can be located on dry land or directly on water. Lighthouse found on adventure map counts as a mine, which can be important if the special victory condition is "flag all mines".
