The Watchtower

The watchtower is the newest addition to Tribal Wars that will help both new as experienced players in coordinating their defenses.

The different stages of the watchtower

What is it?

The watchtower adds a new perspective to the defensive possibilities of a player. As soon as an attack on the player comes in range of the Watchtower it will be tagged according to 4 different groups:

• The attack is a small attack (1-1000 troops)
• The attack is a medium sized attack (1001-5000 troops)
• The attack is a large attack (5000+ troops)
• The attack contains a nobleman

Additionally, when an attack is launched the player will be notified about whether or not an attack will come in range of a Watchtower or not with the following icon:

As soon as the attack comes in range, the attack will be tagged by the Watchtower

Building & levelling the Watchtower

The building of the watchtower is very similar to that of the Church. Meaning that there are prerequisites about when you can construct your new Watchtower.

This means that you need a farm and headquarters on level 5 before being able to build it.

As soon as you have a level 1 Watchtower you can start leveling up the building. Each level requires a new set of resources before you are able to build them.

The Watchtower can be leveled up to a maximum of 20 levels. Find the costs for each level below:

More information

Important to note is that the Watchtower will not only affect the attacks coming to villages in the range of the Watchtower, but it will also tag the attacks walking 'through' the range of it. This means that villages that are targeted and are not in the range could still get their attacks tagged as soon as the attack goes into the range of any watchtower

The tag the Watchtower has placed on a travelling attack will not be removed when the attack walks out of range again.

The tags placed by the Watchtower will be visible on the village overview screen, and on the incomings overview for Premium users.

Mobile users are not able to view the Watchtower range on the map, however do not despair: they can view their range in the Watchtower menu that can be accessed by clicking on the Watchtower in your village overview.
