Turrets question

Hi,

I am currently level 2 turrets but if i decided to build some on my city wall would they all be upgraded when i decide to go to level 3? Or would I have to knock them down and re build?

Thanks in advance

If you are attacked and your turrets destroyed as they must be for the enemy to win, you will need to rebuild from scratch.
You need to upgrade turret research independent of upgrading actual turrets on your wall.
The research increases the stats of each turret.

Blum, when you build turrets on your wall, they start at level 1 no matter what. Then you can upgrade them a level at a time to whatever max level you have researched at the tech center.

Quick run down on how turrets work:

Turrets are constructed via the City Wall option. Now when you build a turret they all start at lvl 1 and world there way up to lvl 10. Now if an enemy attacks and a turret gets injured it decreases level to which you need to upgrade them again.

Also if you have traps built in your city wall you must first have someone attack your base and decrease the level of the traps to 0 before you can build on that spot

also its best if you not worry about turrent unless you can get up to level 9-10 otherwise they are highly inaffective and do nothing to really help. anyways goodluck on the building

What they said is wisdom right thar, but here are my .02 just to clarify a bit.

Turrets are expensive. Give that time to sink in a little bit because if you do not master methods of getting resources fast, chances are that you shouldn't be building turrets in the first place. Here's why...

1 - You must first advance Gun Turret Technology in order to be able to build turrets on your wall. Each level you advance means that you can upgrade each turret you build up to that level.

2 - Turrets are built individually from one another for each level you open. You may upgrade a turret up to the level of Tech you have purchased. If you have the Gun Turret Technology at L3, then you can have turrets up to L3.

3 - Each turret upgrade costs resources. The costs go up as the level is increased. Metal is the resource used the most to build turrets, so it might be a good idea to invest in Smelting Technology ahead of time.

4 - Turrets are easily out-ranged by Catapults. This one is very tricky to determine for sure as the range of both Turrets and Cats are relative to each players' Shooting Technology. This is why you were adviced to not even bother with building them until you have purchased Turret Tech L9. Truth is that you can still get good use out of turrets even at L7 or even L6 as Cav armys are more predominant as of late, or players have not been wise enough to upgrade their Speed and/or Shooting as they should. My opinion is that its not a gamble worth taking. Just build traps until you've gotten L8 Turret Tech.

5 - Lastly, turrets get benefits from your Attributes. You may have L10 turrets with L10 Shooting, but they can still be out-performed by attacking players that have distributed their stats right.

In sumarry, if you want to have good turrets that don't get blown away easily by noob players with Cats you have to work on getting a ton of gold, getting a ton of resources, and building your stats right. Stick to mid-level traps (L5-6) until you can meet those requirements.

Good luck.

I also must second this. Level 10 turrets with level 10 shooting always get in 2 attacks before enemy catapults. So you can ~4000 cats with no problem before cats can even get a shot in.

But turrets are weak before level 9, so go with traps until you have enough to get level 9 turrets.

Ditto.

Everything everyone said was correct and I agree with them.

Your comment i am not fully understanding, are you saying the turrets hit your cats x2 before your cats come into range?
