'''Moat''' is a defensive structure in front of the [[wall]]s in towns with [[Citadel]] or [[Castle (structure)|Castle]]. The original {{roe}} version or the {{ab}} did not have moats, as they were introduced in {{sod}} expansion. The moat has different effects in siege combat. Both attcking and defending creatures:
{{Castle creatures}}{{Creature
* on the moat suffer additional 10% damage from non-magic attacks
| AI_Value  = 126
* are not able to move across the moat during combat round, but are forced to stop on the moat for the the rest of the round
| Name      = Archer
* take damage from entering the moat and for each round they stay in this moat.
| Attack    = 6
| Defense  = 3
| Speed    = 4
| Growth    = 9
| Damage    = 2–3
| Health    = 10
| Shots    = 12
| Cost      = 100
| Special  = • [[Ranged attack]]
| U_AI_Value= 184
| U_name    = Marksman
| U_speed  = '''6'''
| U_damage  = 2–3 '''(x2)'''
| U_shots  = '''24'''
| U_cost    = 150
| U_special = • [[Ranged attack]]<br>• [[Double attack]]
}}


All moats cause damage to creatures if they are forced to cross the moat. The amount of damage depends on the town type as follows:
{{Cram|Archers' Tower|Archer|Marksman|no_dwelling=|pad=5px 10px 3px 3px}}
* [[[Castle]] (Water) cause 70 points of damage
'''Archer''' and '''Marksman''' are level 2 creatures of [[Castle]] recruited from [[Castle creature dwellings|Archers' Tower]]s.
* [[Rampart]] (Brambles) = 70 points of damage
* [[Stronghold]] (Wooden Spikes) = 70 points of damage
* [[Necropolis]] (Boneyard) = 70 points of damage
* [[Fortress]] (Boiling Tar) = 90 points of damage (2 hexes)
* [[Dungeon]] (Boiling Oil) = 90 points of damage
* [[Inferno]] (Lava) = 90 points of damage
* [[Tower]] (Landmines) = Special


===Tower mines===
''"Archers and marksmen are lightly armored troops armed with crossbows for [[ranged attack|ranged combat]] and daggers for light hand-to-hand fighting. Marksmen can get off two shots in each ranged attack."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 85|RoE manual]]''</sup>
*The landmines are cast with advanced [[Fire Magic]] on [[Spell Power]] 10.  
<div style="clear:left;"></div>
*They are the only town defending system influenced by the visiting hero.  
*[[Protection from Fire]] will reduce the damage they make.
*Defending creatures won't let the mines explode.


;Damage formula : 10 x 10 spell power + 50 = 150 damage.
== Tactics and info ==
They are critical in the early game, together with the [[Griffin and Royal Griffin|Griffins]], due to them being almost the only Castle ranged attackers, having good damage and also the marksmen's twice shot. However, with each ranged attack in a turn, the Marksmen will use up two shots, not one.


====Increasing damage====
== Heroes with a specialty ==
They will do 150 damage at minimum. Stronger hero stats will increase the damage.


To increase the damage of the land mines the hero needs:
*{{H|Valeska|Knight}} has archers as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any archer or marksman each level she attains after the 2nd level, and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.
*Spellpower 14 without/with basic Fire Magic
* {{H|Gelu|Ranger}} can upgrade Elves and Wood Elves (also [[Archer and Marksman|Archers and Marksmen]]) into [[Sharpshooter]]s.
*Spellpower 11 with advanced  Fire Magic and
*Spellpower 6 with expert  Fire Magic


The [[Orb of Tempestuous Fire]] will always increase the damage by 50%. The hero does not need a [[Spell Book]].
{{creature 'see also'}}


====Fire immunity / Spell resistance====
[[Category: Creatures]]
*The mines will not explode on creatures with fire immunity.
*The mines will not affect creatures with 100% spell immunity. (Some dragons.)
 
====Removing / disabling them====
*The mines can be [[Dispel]]led. With expert [[Water Magic]] you can dispel all the mines at once.
*If either of the heroes has the [[Recanter's Cloak]] equipped, all creatures will be immune to the mines.
