Myth or facts – is there any truth in you should not upgrade your Watchtower (WT) past levels 10-12?

Is there any truth in you should not upgrade your WT past level 10-12?

This is based on old versions of Raids ( version 1.12 and earlier, see notes on version 1.10 and 1.12 below).

Watchtower produces a lot of food and iron.

Guidelines

@Gryphonknight

It also helps to have your Watchtower the same level as your Stronghold.

Watchtower always produce
The Watchtower, however, will continue producing Iron and Food while upgrading — but only the Watchtower does that; Mines and Farms don’t.

To combat trophy dropping

• Food and iron gains from Raiding are adjusted to also take the opponents trophies into account

To discourage trophy dropping that exacerbates Watchtower raiding

• Reach higher Raid Arena for better loot from the Raid Wanted Mission Chests.

Per year, Watchtower Level 20 + Finish Season 1 +
Farms Level 20 x9

@Gryphonknight

Watchtower + 9x Level 20 farms= 543.3m food

@Dante2377

Watchtower 20 with all the outposts adds a ton of food production.

Food to upgrade

@zephyr1

And because the Watchtower uses food instead of iron for upgrades, it can be a useful building to work on when you’re also completing iron-intensive upgrades if you have VIP and a second builder.
