What kind of castles do you choose?

Is watch tower viable? I am trying to save as many points as possible...

If you do not need alot of gold/resource production for your units, also watch towers are extremely easy to storm, though most MP just preach you out and don't worry about trying to storm your castle.

The only forts I use are Fortified City, Wizards Tower, and 40 Admin Castle.

Forts are cheap. Save your nation points elsewhere.

Hrm. I doubt its a coincidence that is the only ones I have ever used except for the Kelp Citadel

I often use watchtower and even mausoleum. Some nations get most of their best and highly armored units only at the capital, for those a high admin castle is great. Some nations defense is in their mages and summons, for those its best to have castles that will Last for a long seige.

Other nations get their best units in ANY castle, and their defense is in those units. For those it might work best to have a castle they can build cheap and fast. Some nations best defense includes archers and heavy units, so a watchtower might be good.

Again, I tend to play nations that like to pop up in spots. I dont need admin as much as I need to build often. And I am known for trying to find uses for the unwanted choices.

The Wizards Tower gets you both. That's why I use it.
