Archer's Tower

From The Evony Wiki ::The Free Forever Massive Multi Player Real Time Strategy Game

An archer's tower is a type of fortified unit consisting of a tower built atop the city walls. It provides a vantage point for archers to shoot enemies. The height (level)of the wall determines the shooting range and thus the effectiveness. The actual number of archer units in the city has no effect on the performance of archer's towers.
Construction time is affected by Construction Research and your Hero's Politics Skill. Construction Time = BaseTime*(0.9^Const)*(0.995^Poli)
Archer Tower Range = (((WallLv+Archery)*0.05)+1)*1300

Like all Evony defences it is only effective in huge numbers.

General Information

Archer's towers are very sturdy and are not easy to destroy as an attacker but don't delude yourself that you are safe.
At Level 5 Walls and below, towers can be blown away by:

1. Archer on about a 10:1 ratio eg 30,000 Archers will make mincemeat of 3,000 Towers, provided
   the Archery Research Levels are similar.
2. Ballista - they stand-off and reduce Towers at little to no loss to themselves, also depending on Archery levels.
3. Catapult - they stand-off and reduce Towers at little to no loss to themselves, also depending on Archery levels.

However when walls get to L6 and above the defenders chances dramatically increase as each level extends the archers range.

You should fill up your wall with at least 14k archer towers. This makes your city harder to conquer.
