Permament watchtowers

**Souka** · August 28, 2013, 02:37 AM

Tried searching forum but didn't find anything about watchtowers. So are there any options to enable them or any mod that has them?

Really not looking forward to adding them myself.

Generals or family members in the field are responsible for creating watch towers and the towers are permanent but can only be placed within your own borders, is this what you are referring to?

..or do you mean the purely Romanised looking stone watchtowers?

I'm talking about already placed watchtowers in every region. So once you conquer a region you take control of the watchtowers and can see the the whole region.

You mean like in Stainless Steel? Hm, that would be a nice thing. But I don't know if this is possible...

Personally, I wish it were harder for me to get strategic information. I feel like I might as well be playing as the US Pentagon.

Not sure I quite understand the question....

If the AI/Faction has already built towers then they immediately become yours when you conquer the region - otherwise you crack on as normal and build them yourself.

What would be really nice would be whether any Mod could be introduced that had a mechanism to remove them! Having a handy siege engine and managing to get a battle at the site is pretty near impossible......

Yes and it is possible, was hoping someone had already done it because it is quite tedious adding all that text.

Stainless Steel has a option for permanent watchtowers which means you get watchtowers placed throughout the map. This way you don't have to place them yourself.

And is that possible on RTW or only in MTW ? Chivalry II has the same feature but i don't recall ever seeing it on RTW.

Yes it is possible and quite easy if you have the time.

MTW and RTW are really similar in modding aspects so a few bits of texts is all that's needed.

But it would be lazy - and mean the player needs even less money! Surely there should be some costs in taking over a region.....

Hm, maybe it was not exactly clear. The permament watchtowers in Stainless Steel are working like that: When you conquer the enemy territory, you capture the towers of the region too. Only then you will get a full sight of the region. They are mostly placed at roads, rivers or mostly in the middel of the region as I saw it. It wont give you really the sight into the regions around you. So spies have still a job. It's very nice. I would like that in RSII. And those who don't want it they could disable it, like in Stainless Steel.
