Revision as of 14:47, 4 August 2015

Musket Tower

The Musket Tower is defensive structure added in early March 2015. It is unique among towers for its ability to switch attack type. It can be either short ranged, attacking all nearby foes, or long ranged, attacking single targets at for high damage.

General Assessment

Strengths

Can attack all nearby units when set to short range (effective for protecting long ranged towers like Trebuchet Emplacement and Ballista/Cannon Tower
Can do massive damages to siege units when set to long range (most effective for taking down siege units).

Weaknesses

When set to long range, it cannot attack units at its base.

Tactics

Attack

It is hard to determine what setting a Musket Tower is set to until it begins firing, so be careful.
Short-ranged Musket Towers can be destroyed by siege weapons.
Long-ranged Musket Towers can be handled with groups of massed units such as Infantry.

Defense

It is a defensive structure.
Set it in short range to protect long range units
Set it to long range to destroy siege units effectively.
