Revised for Season 17

Woah! You can see everything from up here! Too bad there's nothing to see but the empty, sand-filled desert. If you squint, though, you can count the zombies dragging themselves towards the town.

Construction

• Requirements for the Construction:

• The following resources must be in The Bank and will be used up after completion:

•   3×  Twisted Plank
•   1×  Patchwork Beam
•   1×  Wrought Iron

• Citizens must spend 15 to complete the building.

• The costs can be reduced to 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 by Upgrading the Workshop.

Effects

• Completing the Watchtower provides 10  Defence points for the Town.
• Allows to visit the Watchtower in Town to contribute towards an estimation of tonight's attack.
• 24 Citizens are required to produce a 100 % estimation.
  • The Scanner halves the number of citizens needed.
  • A Telescope that is in the The Bank also halves the number of citizens needed.
  • So with Scanner and Telescope only 6 citizens are required for a complete estimation.
• The Predictor allows an estimation of tomorrow's attack to be made after today's is at maximum.

Changes

• In Season 16:
  • The Watchtower is no longer Upgradable.
    • The associated map reveal and teleport functions moved to the Observation platform.
  • Provides 10 now.
  • Resource cost changed from ×3 ×2 to ×3 ×1 ×1.
• In Season 6:
  • The provided dropped from 5 to none (building no longer defensive).
