Editing Arrow tower (section)

== Damage calculation ==
=== Structures ===

Arrow tower damage depends on the number of "structures" - buildings built in a town. Not all buildings affect the Arrow tower damage, among them:
*All upgrades of [[Creature Dwelling]]s, [[Mage Guild]] and [[Town Hall]].
*[[Horde Building]]s ({{withhota}} except [[Vault of Ashes]]).
*[[Citadel]] and [[Castle (structure)|Castle]], since they are [[Fort]] upgrades.
*A few towns have several Specific buildings which are upgrades of the other buildings (e.g. [[Brotherhood of  the Sword]], [[Fountain of Fortune]])

=== Damage ===
The damage of the primary Arrow tower is calculated by the formula:

 <big>''Damage = Base_Damage + d * N''</big>

The damage of the secondary Arrow tower is calculated by the formula:

 <big>''Damage = Base_Damage + d * N/2''</big>

where ''Base_Damage'' - is the base Arrow tower damage, equal to 10..20 points of damage for the primary and 6..12 points for the secondary Arrow towers; ''d'' - additional damage for every structure built, equal to 2..4 points; ''N'' - number of structures built. The result of ''N/2'' is rounded down.

As indicated above, different towns have a different number of structures available, therefore, a different maximal Arrow tower damage range.

The Arrow tower damage cannot be changed by any other damage modificator. The [[Defense]] parameter of their targets is always ignored. Despite the right-click tip says that an Arrow tower has 10 [[Attack]], final damage remains unmodified. [[Archery]] or the [[Artillery]] secondary skills do not affect the damage as well, but a defending hero with [[Artillery]] skill is able to control the Arrow towers during a siege. Arrow towers cannot deliver a [[Luck|lucky strike]]. 

The only exception is a '''bug''', which cause the troops under command of a hero with [[Armorer]] secondary skill take additional damage from the Arrow tower attack. Troops, which are buffed by [[Air Shield]] spell or are [[Petrify|petrified]] take additional damage as well ''(fixed in {{hota}}{{-wh}})''.
