defensive towers

Walled stronghold sentinels

Defensive towers are fortified structures built for military protection, typically tall and solidly constructed to give defenders height advantage and clear sightlines.

They appear along walls, at castle corners, or as standalone strongpoints.

In strategy games, defensive towers are stationary structures that automatically attack approaching enemies: Build some defensive towers near your base entrance.
