| This article is about an older version of DF. |
A tower is a player-built construction consisting of multiple levels of a similar shape stacked on top of each other, usually connected by stairs. A large tower serves the same role as a below-ground fortress, but without the drawbacks of Template:L: all of its tiles being Light Above Ground, so the dwarves will always be exposed to sunlight. However, it takes a large amount of resources (usually Template:L and Template:L) to construct a tower; while a source of Template:L or Template:L can alleviate this, it is still much less efficient than carving out a fortress entirely beneath the earth.
Usually, a tower is built from constructed Template:Ls, Template:Ls, and Template:L, although on some levels (such as those being used for the Template:L) walls may be replaced by Template:Ls.
