Defenses

In Land of the Vikings, defenses play a crucial role in protecting your village from attacks and ensuring the safety of your villagers. Some defenses include Walls and Watchtowers. Here's a more in-depth look at these defenses:
== Walls ==
Walls are structures that can be built around your village to create a physical barrier and prevent enemy units from easily infiltrating your settlement. Walls serve as a first line of defense, obstructing the path of attackers and buying time for your forces to respond.
Walls can be built by placing wall segments and connecting them to form a complete enclosure around your village. They can be customized in terms of shape, size, and layout based on your strategic needs.
They can also provide a defensive bonus, making it more difficult for enemy units to breach them. The strength of your walls can be upgraded, either by enhancing their durability or fortifying them with additional defensive structures.
They also often feature gateways that allow your villagers and friendly units to pass through while keeping enemies out. Gatehouses can be constructed at these gateways to further bolster the defense and provide a vantage point for your troops.
== Watchtowers ==
Watchtowers are tall structures strategically positioned within your village to provide a better view of the surrounding area. They serve as lookout points and defensive structures.
Watchtowers can be built at specific locations within your village or near the perimeter to maximize their visibility. They offer an elevated platform that enables your units to spot approaching threats from a distance.
They also serve as defensive structures that can attack enemy units within their range. They provide an advantage by granting your forces a better line of sight, allowing them to engage hostile forces before they reach your village.
They are also typically manned by archers or guards who are responsible for shooting arrows or projectiles at approaching enemies. These defenders can significantly weaken enemy forces before they even reach your walls.
