    Default Watchtower Upkeep

    Hey, long time lurker and fan of EB here.

    The Mod is great, but Watchtower upkeep is an issue for me. I always play the campaign with a very liberal application of watchtowers. I like to see all of every province.

    I can't do that in EB as the smaller factions need every last drop of cash on the harder difficulties.

    That said I'm guessing the EB team put high upkeep on watchtowers for a reason and won't change it. That's not what I'm going to ask.

    Can anyone tell me is there a to way to remove this manually on my on install?

    Watchtowers have upkeep? I always spam watchtowers as well, but never noticed any upkeep. My most recent game was as the Massylii- I mapped out the entirety of those huge provinces on the edge of the Sahara and never noticed the slightest drop in my income.

    Not to mention, I've never heard of any method in the script for detecting the presence of watchtowers. If there was, they would have been used in place of permament stone forts to represent minor settlements.

    Yeah, never heard of or seen any upkeep for them.

    Did not consider that. I just read that they do in this thread (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...player-are-you) and performed a quick test of one turn. Ive yet to get into a real campaign.

    Are you sure? I just tested it again there now. Start a campaign. Look at your finance tab. Spam about 5 towers. Look at it again. Looks like about 200 per tower.

    Isn't that just the cost of the watchtower.

    Jesus Christ, you scared me!

    Just to be clear... Jesus didn't scare me, you did. You're not Jesus. Are you?
    I spam watchtowers all over the map. Imagine having to pay for those... well, it would be realistic, I suppose, but economy can be tough without it.
    Anyways, watchtowers cost 200 to be built and never have I, never ever, never ever ever seen them to have upkeep cost.

    False alarm. Still, better to be sure. I couldnt have enjoyed a campaign where I couldnt have watchtowers.

    There's no upkeep cost for watchtowers beyond the initial construction cost of 200. The construction cost is set in descr_cultures for each culture, if you want to lower it, you have to change all 6 instances there.

    watchtower_cost 200
    Money is not a problem in the game past a certain point. So just be patient and keep expanding.
