watch towers

Does it matter where I place them for example near the gates? How many would be decent when coming out of beginners protection?

It doesn't matter where you build the towers and build as many as possible, also keep always upgraded balisade and towers.

You get in every age better wall and better towers and can build 10 more towers. When you upgrade it to level 5 then you can promote it to the better ones. Same is for wall, it must be lvl 10 to be promotable.

Thank you for awnsering,but I wonder : do you have enough space for all the buildings if you build so many towers?

I saw that replacing buildings is very expensive,that is a bit disapointing.

you're welcome. Yes there is enough space to place them all. You must only replace buildings which cant be promoted. When you promote a building then it's not so expensive as you would build it new, and destroy the old one before.

ok, for now I will put my towers together in a corner :)

All these towers in my cities is very  ugly, maybe it is an idea to have only one or two that can be updated to replace the enormous amount I have now.

Just wait until you have to update all of those. towers are a must and a lot of work.

I think he means that lot of towers look visually bad in his town and he suggested that tower building could be more 

powerful (and it requires balancing then) . 

Exactly, just 4 or so by the gates would look much realistic:)

You are free to have just 4 towers if that is what you want. They won't protect you for long, but you can do that.

That is completely beside the point .

I think the possibility of combining let's say 2 or 3 towers into one isn't a bad idea. It would have to have the same strengths as the individual towers combined, but the same would have to go for materials and building time in case of further upgrades. The latter might benefit casual players, not sure if that's wanted though.

Is it necessary? Rather not. Would it be appealing for some players? Maybe :)

I think he meant that they are visually ugly when scattered around towns... Maybe there could be spots for them on the walls/palisades, etc, so that they could fit more nicely?
