question about guard/cannon towers

[Jason Symes]

Hi all. Had a quick question about how guard and cannon towers
function. Will these units start attacking enemies if those enemies
attack the tower itself, or if enemies enter the square that tower was
built in? The reason I ask is because I've been trying to build these
towers around the borders of land I want to defend, but when enemies
enter the square none of these towers seem to attack, and usually the
enemies attack other buildings than the towers themselves. Thanks in
advance.

Hi Jason.

After a quick test just in case on chapter 1 (using "r", "t" and "s 10" commands from the console (respectively for resources, all techs and speed of 10) and shift F4 to switch player) here are my conclusions.

The guard tower will attack if the enemy is close enough, in the same square or not (didn't test diagonals but it should work too).

A human player can ignore the towers by giving an imperative order and target important buildings or just pass through. If the map have squares with a big size the range of the tower might not be enough. An AI could ignore towers too but is not programmed to do it at the moment.

Building a wall or a gate might prevent this.

Hope it helps.
