Game mechanics. Castle and gates

A well-built castle is the key to successful defense. Strong and high walls, various types of towers and castle's gates will help Player to restrain attacks of the overwhelming enemy forces.

Towers provide visibility and better aiming position to your Archers. Also «Diplomacy is Not an Option» introduces Castle's gate opening and closing mechanics. Anyone, including the enemy unit, can pass through opened gates to the inner perimeter of the Castle. No need to explain how dangerous such a breakthrough could be. But if gates are closed, noone can either enter the castle or leave it. Being locked, gates prevent the access for Player's miners and peddlers who work behind the wall as well. Operating the gates is one of Player's responsibilities.
