===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]].

====Fire immunity / Spell resistance====
[[Category: Creatures]]
*The mines will not explode on creatures with fire immunity.
__NOTOC__
*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.
