Hello there, Manny here! Today we talk about Thermal Towers.
We will cover how they are obtained, placed/built and what are their part in KvK.
Get warm and cozy so we can dive right in!
First things first! What is a Thermal Tower?
A Thermal Tower is a building (outside your city) that your alliance produces and then places to build inside the Frozen Realm (KvK Map). Thermal Towers grant vision inside KvK and a buff to surrounding cities,tiles and gnomes - that are included in its Geothermal Zone Range.
How do you make a Thermal Tower?
They first need to be manufactured(produced) in the Alliance Menu - Thermal Tower Icon.
Manufacturing Thermal Towers requires Alliance Resources. In KVK a % of the resources gathered by all alliance members inside the KVK MAP is added to a special pool, the Alliance Resources. These resources are used to make towers.
You can produce unlimited towers, however you can only stock 20 at a time.
Towers can be produced normally (X resources and X time) or quickly (2x resource and 1/2 X time).
Tower resources consumed and time increase with the amount of towers you produce.
Below you see one of the earlier towers we manufactured, with a normal production time of 1 hour only, compared to the 3 hours on our 19/20 Tower.
Now that we know how we make Thermal Towers, lets get on to how you place them and what do they do once they are placed.
Once a Thermal Tower is made (in the alliance menu) it will also display there as ready to be built Tower.
Placed Towers are limited to 200 and as you can see, since the production is capped at 20, you can only stock 20, therefore it shows as 20 Thermals on "standby" to be built. Each Tower also shows how they were produced (normal or quick).
Towers construction time increase with the number of already built Towers.
Towers currently being built also show up in this menu.
The image below shows the placement of a Thermal Tower. Thermal Towers need to be placed adjacent to an existant Thermal Tower. Their placement requires them to be connected with the adjacent Thermal Tower Geothermal Zone.
Here is how the overlap/connection works:
What does the Geothermal Zone provide you?
Like stated before, Geothermal Zones provide your alliance a safe, hot zone away from the nasty cold - making your life easier inside the Frozen Realm.
A City affected by Thermal Tower Geothermal Zone:
A Resource node (lvl 7) affected by Thermal Tower Geothermal Zone:
A Gnome army and Gnome Boss affected by Thermal Tower Geothermal Zone:
In comparison, here are the same 3 things (cities, nodes and gnome armies/bosses) when standing outside of a Geothermal Zone, affected by "Blizzard".
A City affected by Blizzard:
A Resource node (lvl 7) affected by Blizzard:
A Gnome army and Gnome Boss affected by Blizzard:
Once a Thermal Tower is built, they can also be abandoned. This process takes 1 hour and can be started by any R5 or R6.
Thermal Towers are a huge part of KvK, allowing your alliance to safely roam and conquer new zones, access resource nodes and farm gnomes with ease. They need to be studied and managed as a precious resource.
This is all for today!
Happy Building!
