With the study and understanding of gunpowder, Scout towers may be modified to house cannons making them cannon towers . The artillery provides increased bombardment of attacking forces, limited only by the restriction of being unable to attack flying invaders. Rows of these sturdy towers provide a formidable defense against even the most aggressive assaults.[1]
