-A '''tower''' is any vertical structure consisting of multiple levels of a similar shape stacked on top of each other, usually connected by stairs.
+'''Tower''' can refer to:
-'''Necromancer towers''' are special structures built by [[necromancer]]s during world generation. The number of necromancer towers is influenced by human populations (which require low savagery and large tracts of neutral land) and the number of secrets in world generation. Necromancer towers can be a source of [[fun]] in both adventure mode and fortress mode.

-A '''tower''' is any vertical structure consisting of multiple levels of a similar shape stacked on top of each other, usually connected by stairs. Towers require abundant human populations (low savagery, large tracts of neutral land) and a high number of secrets to be generated in world generation, as necromancers cannot be elf or goblin.

-As a player construction, 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]].
