โ€œ Heavy defensive tower that fires a springald. Must be built on a Stone Wall segment. Infantry can use the tower to access the top of the walls. โ€
Age of Empires IV description

The Stone Wall Tower is a defensive structure in Age of Empires IV available starting in the Feudal Age. It is a heavy defensive tower that comes with a Springald Emplacement. It must be built on a Stone Wall segment. Unlike with Outposts, units cannot garrison inside a Stone Wall Tower, but Infantry can use the tower to access the top of walls. It is completely unavailable to the Mongols and can only be built by the Rus after advancing to the Imperial Age with the Spasskaya Tower landmark.

Because Stone Wall Towers are part of walls, which do not interact with influence, they are not affected by any influence bonuses that may affect other buildings within the area.

Abilities and influences[]

Changelog[]

  • Originally, Stone Wall Towers cost 200 stone and took 60 seconds to build. With the Season One Update, they cost 300 stone and take 90 seconds to build.
  • Originally, Chinese Extra Materials stacked on single wall segments, and its repair range was 12.5 tiles. With patch 14681, it repairs all wall segments within range, no longer stacks on single wall segments, and its repair range is 4 tiles.
  • With patch 14681, Stone Wall Tower under construction can now be attacked by all units.
  • Originally, the Rus could not build Stone Wall Towers at all. With the Season Two Update 17718, the Spaskaya Tower Landmark now unlocks the building of Stone Wall Towers.
  • Originally, Stone buildings cost wood to repair. With the Season Two Update, they cost Stone to repair.
  • Originally, the emplacement had a Rate of Fire of 6.25 seconds. With Season Two Update 17718, it was said to have changed to a Rate of Fire of 4.5 seconds. However, the in-game tooltip currently displays a 3.88 seconds Rate of Fire. The damage was not decreased down to 40, as it was done with other Springald Emplacements.
  • With update 6.0.878, the Network of Castles attack speed bonus provided by English Stone Wall Towers was reduced from 20% to 15%.

Campaign version[]

Because the original four campaigns have not been rebalanced since the release of the game, Stone Wall Towers behave differently there. Instead of having a built-in Springald Emplacement, it has a default Arrow Slit attack that deals 11 damage at 9 range every 0.625 seconds. A Springald Emplacement can be added in addition to this.
