− | + | A large tower serves the same role as a below-ground fortress, but without the drawbacks of [[cave adaptation]]: all of its tiles being [[Tile attributes|Light Above Ground]], so the dwarves will always be exposed to sunlight. However, it takes a large amount of resources (usually [[stone]] and [[wood]]) to construct a tower; while a source of [[clay]] or [[glass|green glass]] can alleviate this, it is still much less efficient than carving out a fortress entirely beneath the earth. | |

Usually, a tower is built from [[Construction|constructed]] [[wall]]s, [[floor]]s, and [[stairs]], although on some levels (such as those being used for the [[barracks]]) walls may be replaced by [[fortification]]s. With sufficient planning, a tower can also be cast from [[obsidian]]. | Usually, a tower is built from [[Construction|constructed]] [[wall]]s, [[floor]]s, and [[stairs]], although on some levels (such as those being used for the [[barracks]]) walls may be replaced by [[fortification]]s.
