Strategies
Since the Tower town has three ranged units, it is excellent at defending cities. The only problem is against fast and flying attackers, such as Dragons, Angels etc. If the defending hero has expert Slow, use it. If not, use expert Haste.
A good thing is to upgrade your Workshop early, then move around the map and pick up Gremlins for free and upgrade them at your town, this way you get massive firepower very fast. Combine Master Gremlins with the relatively fast gargoyles to throw Haste on the Master Gremlins to take out lots of monsters early.
In the middle and end game your Gremlins are usually dead, and Gargoyles are not useful anymore. It's a good tactic to replace their place with 1 Genie each. Thus you will have 1 strong pack+2x1 stack of genies that means you can cast spell 4 times each round! If the enemy kills them, good for you, because probably getting rid of a little unit number stack that casts spells compared to killing other high health point/many units stacks is a huge damage waste given high tier spell power with lots of damage and spells requiring a fixed deducted amount of mana each turn - like swatting a single Sprite instead of killing a stack of Scorpicores, you can replace first round caster Genie slots after combat easily and the Gremlins would be dead soon into combat anyway.
Giants are not much use until you upgrade them to Titans, which are the best ranged unit in the game, have no Melee Penalty, and generally kick butt.
