Observation towers? Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Just what is the smart thing in this:



As you can see, the map border are just above all those observation towers... I can't see what purpose this should do...

None .

One thing - in Industrial, when they become SAM, it will be impossible for any plane to last even a second there.

Full PM-box? Change here!

The OP's in that screen shot are pretty pointless - I can't think of any situation requiring that many that close together. Did the AI do that? I tend to pair OP's and Towers together, near cities. That way my cities don't have to worry about spies and commandoes. The OP sees the stealth unit, allowing the Tower to open fire on it.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

That is a smart move on whoever did that. Prebuilding AA/SAM sites while they are cheap. That is one way to stop all those annoying bombing raids in the late game!

Great screenshot, reminiscent of scenes from StarCraft where the defender would be anticipating mass attacks by mutalisks.

It's also a great way of thwarting spies, for those who don't like bribery.
