Overview
The Watchtower is an infrastructure building of the Bronze 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 Watchtower belongs to the infrastructure side of the city. Introduced in the Bronze Age, as metal and trade take hold.
Gameplay
Build cost. Raising the Watchtower costs 120 Wood and 35 Stone. 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 Watchtower 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 1 Happiness each turn, feeding Happiness into your economy.
Upkeep. It draws 0.4 Food in upkeep every turn whether or not it is producing, so weigh the running cost against the benefit.
