    Default Watch Towers

    Started a new campaign as England and Caen I have built watch towers around the boarders so I can see what the French are up to.

    Following 3 failed attempts by the French to take Caen I have noticed the eastern most watch tower isn't functioning correctly, no extra view across to Paris.

    Any ideas why????

    The French assaulting forces have always advanced from and retreated back along this road which passes the watch tower. Could that have anything to do with it ????

    The watchtower is probably 'occupied' by rebels. If you send a spy to the tower you will find a rebel army next to it. This rebels causes the watchtower to malfunction.
    Officer to a soldier who refuses to fight: There three types of soldiers who don't have to fight. They are called KIA, MIA and POW and you are not one of them.

    Tosa will be missed.

    Also, building watchtowers on the hills will extend the view.

    Cheers Chaps,

    I have since built a second watch tower as close as I could to the original. However I will send a spy over to have a look.

    Never seen anything like this before.

    Okay, just wound back a few saves to try this out and the spy found nothing.

    A few French stacks and a Spainish stack nearby but nothing else ???

    Watch tower still not functioning, any more ideas welcome ???

    Hm no I'm sorry the only time I've witnessed a watch tower do this is when there were rebels by it.

    Would an enemy spy a the watch tower have the same effect? If so, and that spy remained undetected, that would explain the behavior.

    No, only an army (any army from any faction, even a single peasant)
    Jon had taken Donal and Benjen’s advice to heart: Sam may be fat and pathetic, but he is still a member of the watch, and one of the few black brothers who isn't a rapist or thief. (out of context, this sounds ridiculously racist)
