Crenellations is a common technology in Age of Mythology. It improves the attack of all defensive buildings against cavalry and the maximum range of the Watch Tower-line. To enable this technology, the Watch Tower technology must first be researched.
Its effects are to grant +0.25 attack multiplier vs. cavalry to all defensive buildings, and increase the range of the Watch Tower and its subsequent upgrades by +2.
History[]

Shortly after the development of stone walls, ancient architects figured out the utility of piercing defensive walls with arrow slits and crowning the walkways on top of the walls with crenellations that could protect an archer while still allowing them a wide field of view. The citadel of Buhen was adorned with hundreds of curved crenellations that were typical of Egyptian walls.
