A dragon once lived in this tower, however now it is empty and holds nothing of interest.''

Black Tower is a Creature Bank located on the Adventure Map.

The guards are divided into five stacks (red hexes). There is a 50% chance of getting an upgraded stack in the lower left corner (C hex). All the guard stacks of the same speed attack in alphabetic order of these hexes. The hero's troops are located in blue hexes 1-7 (a tail hex for two-hexed creatures) according to stack positioning in the army slots 1-7. If the hero has less than 7 stacks, e.g. 3, they will be placed in hexes 1-3 no matter how they were placed in the army slots.

Though war machines are not present on the battlefield, they still provide their passive bonuses (i.e. the infinite shots effect from Ammo Cart and the First Aid/First Aid Tent health boost Horn of the Abyss Shadow of Death).

Slain enemies do not respawn (should the hero retreat or be defeated). The damaged stack's losses will not be redistributed among the others. If a stack was destroyed, it changes the guards disposition. Its place on the battlefield will be taken by the next one in the attacking order. (E.g.: If A stack was destroyed, B stack takes its place, C stack takes the freshly vacated place of B and so on).

Horn of the Abyss In Horn of the Abyss, the object's level can be preset by a map-maker and the upgraded stack option may be toggled on or off.

Black Tower is an adventure map location, and commonly known as one of the creature banks. It is guarded by one Green, Red, Gold or Black Dragon. The treasure contains 2000-3750 Gold and one minor class artifact.

Unlike all others creature banks, there is no special troop positioning in Black Tower, Tactics secondary skill and army combat formations are working, war machines are present on the battlefield, - the combat here is an average fight with a single dragon.
