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.

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.
