How do you build watch towers?

Is it still in the game or has it been taken out?

Thanks.

You need a general and press 6 to build it

Don't listen to that other guy the only watch to build watch towers now is to use ALT and F4 simultaneously.

Have a general in friendly territory, then go to the build menu in the bottom right, and select the watch tower.

Anyone know why I can't build a fort in a chokepoint?

There are a couple reasons why you can't build forts (or watchtowers) at certain locations:

- the location 'tile' already has something on it, like a resource or a port, a bridge etc.
- its the 'tile' directly next to a port or a city
- there is an enemy army (or spy/diplomat/merchant) on a 'tile' directly next to you

For the last point you have to move your general on the spy/diplomat/merchant to 'move' it away, or wait one or more turns until the AI moves it away. With enemy armies you need to either wait a turn and hope the AI moves it away or attack and defeat it.

I only use that shortcut when I'm playing total war 3 kingdoms.
