Revised for Season 17

A straightforward defensive build, let's just pray our well doesn't dry out.

Construction

• Requirements for the Construction:

• The Water Turrets must have been unlocked with a blueprint:

• Construction Blueprint (rare)
• Bunker Construction Blueprint (rare)

• The Pump must have been completed.
• The following resources must be in The Bank and will be used up after completion:

• 10×  Metal Support
• 25×  Water Ration
•   6×  Copper Pipe

• Citizens must spend 50 to complete the building.

• The costs can be reduced to 47 / 44 / 41 / 38 / 33 by Upgrading the Workshop.

Effects

• Completing the Water Turrets provides 70  Defence points for the Town.

• Upgrading it via the project of the day increases the provided. (consumes Water from The Well daily)

Upgrades

Main article: Building upgrades

Level	Reward
Base	Water Turrets give 70 .
Level 1	Increases to 126, but consumes 2 from the well every day.
Level 2	Increases to 182, but consumes 4 from the well every day.
Level 3	Increases to 238, but consumes 6 from the well every day.
Level 4	Increases to 322, but consumes 9 from the well every day.
Level 5	Increases to 406, but consumes 12 from the well every day.

• Upgrades only provide additional defence if there is enough water in The Well to power them.
  • If there is not enough water for the current level, the turrets will fall back to level 0 (base level)!
  • For example, if the Water Turrets are at level 5 but only 4 Water in the well, then the Water Turrets will not fall back to level 2 that can be afforded, but it will work as level 0 instead.
• The daily upgrades are applied before determining if the Water Turrets work or not.
  • If the Water Turrets are at level 4 and have been voted to upgrade it to level 5 with 9 Water in the well, then the Water Turrets will not be level 4 during the attack but level 5. Because there is insufficient water for that, it will fall back to level 0.
  • If the Water Turrets are at level 5 with no water in the well and a Pump upgrade have been voted for that will give 20 Water then the water is added to The Well before The Attack. Then the Water Turrets will function at level 5 giving max and consume 12 Water so there will be only 8 Water the next day.
• The displayed town defence will reflect immediately when there is enough water in The Well now.
  • For example, if the town has turrets level 2 but no water in the bank to power them, the town's defences will display as "x". If 4 Water are added to the well, the town's total defences will display as "x+112".
