Trivia[]

  • Sea Towers can be found in The Conquerors by extracting certain game files, but could not be found normally in default campaigns and were unavailable in the Scenario Editor.
  • As with other Scenario Editor-exclusive towers (except for the Fire Tower), the Sea tower shares its secondary projectiles with the Watch Tower line and the Donjon. As the attack as well as the attack bonuses of this tower's secondary projectiles are thus identical to those of a player's Watch Tower line or Donjon, they benefit from researching Guard Tower, and Keep.
  • Despite the official description stating that units can garrison inside for protection, the tower neither has garrison capacity (except for the Teutons), nor does it allow any unit to garrison. So the only cases when the Sea Tower can shoot additional projectiles is by using triggers, or researching Yasama.
  • Its icon was updated in update 99311 (omitted from the patch notes).
