The Watchtower is a building that replaces the Lookout post in the Classical Age. It warns the player about incoming barbarians and other attacks, and increases the speed of Military units from the settlement the watchtower is in. The higher the level of this tower, the earlier it spots and warns you of the enemy. It is available for research during the Imperial Age. It is replaced by the Aerodrome in the Modern Age.
