The Town seen from outside

The Tower is a Good alignment town, with a heavy focus on magic.

Overview

Wizards and Alchemists study their arcane crafts in Towers. Tower populations are comprised of creatures bound into service by powerful magic, made on the spot, or allied with the town through ancient pacts. Tower armies have uniformly good morale and some of the best range attack units available.

Good support heroes, with many Scholars

Weaknesses

Expensive units
Requires lots of valuable resources
Relatively slow town (fastest troops move at speed 11)
Fairly poor pool of potential main heroes

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.

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.
