Any reason to build towers outside of your walls?

Tried it a couple times, just ends up with dead archers. Am I doing something wrong?

those flying thingies seem to exist specifically to counter using towers outside of walls unfortunately.. an since they eat people instead of just knocking them down, its a really quick way to lose boat loads of people unfortunately

Kinda figured. That, sadly, really limits the towers if they're not close to a wall. Otherwise all they're good for is cleanup if something breaks through.

It's only a good idea right in front of a wall.

[fffffffffffffff]

Towers and knight buffing statues are imho the least useful things in this game. Unless you're upgrading the towers with those tide-guys, I wouldn't bother building them. there is so much more important stuff, you need to put money into.

towers outside the wall are really good in the early game but when these flying things apear are the archers f**ked

Towers outside the walls are only worth it if you intend to use a hermit to upgrade them again.

The ballista towers can do alot on their own, and even if you lose a worker every couple of waves in the end game, they are bound to take a couple of the bastards down with them.

The knight towers and bakery don't have anybody on them to lose, so they can give benefits in the late game long after they've served their usefulness, especially the knight tower as knights will bring their army back to another wall if the one they are at is about to break, amazing for multi-tiered wall defense.

The bakery you should only really need 1 of, you'll get a steady trickle of vagrants which will allow the outer camps to replenish automatically, very important for survival in the end game.

But if you don't have any hermits unlocked yet, don't build towers outside your main bases walls, it's just not cost effective.
