Should I keep Ballista Towers, Cannon Towers, or Destroy them?

Howdy CoW Forums... I forgot to ask this in an Earlier topic of mine about O&G Campaign and enemy buildings which Lord Baal did an AMAZING job of explaining and advising me.... Those interested

I have noticed in my Orc and Goblins Campaign that some towns have Ballista Towers and Cannon Towers add-ons that are sort of effective in siege battles... BUT I have found that if I Sack a Large town like Kislev I gain 12,000+ gold but the Ballista Tower goes away.... and if I just occupy the town and gain around 2000gold I get to keep the Ballista Tower...

So my question is... I know I cannot build these towers... but are they worth keeping for future siege defenses? Do they help with Auto Resolving a battle? If so it looks like a whole lot of just occupying ahead for me and a huge hit to my sacking gold income... haha

Thanks for any clarity.


(I have kind of tested to see if they disappear from battle map if I no longer have them or destroy them... and it appears Yes they do go away unless the building is still present.)

Yes, the buildings have to be on the campaign map in order to be on the battle map.

Now, however keeping them depends on what you really want. The AI some times have the habit of just standing outside your walls and receive continuous punishment of your towers until they rout or are all death. This doesn't happen all the time however but still can happen from time to time. I personally feel like cheating when it happens but meh, I can't control it. If you want bigger challenges then don't worry about them, and ransack the towns upside down to get the money.

As for them being something to weigh on auto-resolves, I don't really know.
