Guard Towers
Historically, towers have taken many forms, from lone, frontier outposts to heavily fortified
keeps at the hearts of castles. Commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1066, the Tower of
London was originally constructed to protect a port on the Thames River. Over the years, it
was expanded many times and served numerous roles, including a royal residence, a place for
executions, an arsenal, and a prison.

Towers in Empire Earth perform two important functions: they watch for enemies and attack
those who come too close. Your Citizens construct Towers in the same way as buildings.
Build them wherever you believe they are needed, but keep in mind that Towers built near a
Town Centre or Capital are stronger than Towers built outside of your towns.

Walls and Gates
Walls are among the oldest defensive structures. From the famous walls of Jericho, first con-
structed around 8,000 BC, to the infamous Berlin Wall of the late 20th Century, walls have
been built to protect towns or restrict access to areas deemed important by the builders.
Gates allowed defenders to let friends and allies through the walls while keeping enemies out.

Gates allowed defenders to let friends and allies through the walls while keeping enemies out.
Your Citizens can construct walls of virtually any length to keep would-be invaders at bay.
Walls block projectiles fired into them (taking damage in the process), but many units can fire
over walls. To allow you and your allies to pass through your walls, gates can be built into
them (you don’t need Citizens for this). When unlocked, gates open for friendly forces, but
stay closed when enemies approach. Locked gates let no one through.

TIP: Your Citizens can also construct stationary Anti-Aircraft Guns in later
