Overview
The Signal Guard Tower is an infrastructure building of the Industrial Age that holds the city together: it provides the services, storage, defence, or power that let everything around it run.
As a Infrastructure structure, the Signal Guard Tower belongs to the infrastructure side of the city. Introduced in the Industrial Age, the age of steam and steel.
Gameplay
Build cost. Raising the Signal Guard Tower costs 460 Stone and 420 Gold. Plan the spend against your current stockpiles before you commit the plot.
Footprint. It occupies a 1x1 plot, so leave room on the map before you place it.
Height. The Signal Guard Tower is a single-floor building, which keeps its layout simple but makes the surrounding road and service network carry more of the planning weight.
Output. Once built it produces 4 Gold and 5 Happiness each turn, feeding Gold and Happiness into your economy.
Upkeep. It draws 2 Gold and 3 Energy in upkeep every turn whether or not it is producing, so weigh the running cost against the benefit.
