Bastion Defense Research

Bastion Defense Research can be found under the combat tab in our academy. This Research is a great way to boost your stats and it offers some new stats that we will discuss shortly. This Research follows a normal progression.

While this research does add on to requirements it does not have a heavy speed up cost like our T6 Research.

New Stat

With Bastion Defense Research we have been introduced to a new stat! While this stat is similar to stats we already have it functions in a slightly different manner. Our new stat is:

Watch Tower Debuff

Of course, I am sure you all want to know what this stat does. Well, I do have the answer for you!

Watch Tower Debuff

The Watch Tower Debuff is specifically a bonus that kicks in on incoming marches to your Empire.
Whereas the Attack Debuff (for the next closest example) is a general attack debuff regardless of location.

So Watch Tower Debuff in simple terms is an Attack Debuff that only applies to defenders.

Materials Required for this Research

In order to complete this Research, you will need your normal speed ups and resources. You will also need Bastion Defense Research Tomes. This research only requires one type of Tome.
