Rus Castle Watch in wooden Fortress is it working?

Is the Castle Watch technology upgrade to increase sighted range + 6 tiles. Is that really working because i don’t see the radius or tiles move further out when i upgrade this technology.

Its working.


No castle watch is 14 tiles range

With castle watch is 20 tiles

hmm so is this just to extend watch when the map is concealed? If i explored that area already, would the castle watch even be beneficial ?

Thank you for looking into this.

I’m not sure I get your question. It extends both the explored area and the fog of war, allowing you to see enemy units from father away, so it definitely has a benefit. Maybe my screenshots are unclear because mine always look bad bc of some HDR issue’s.

Bumping this tread because I noticed the castle watch upgrade not giving any more LoS if its build in a stealth forest. Not sure if that is intended, so i’ll post it in this tread.

Build :8324

Issue: Wooden fortress gives 10 (maybe 9) LoS in stealth Forrest regardless of castle watch upgrade.

Expected behavior: Expect the LoS to increase by any amount. Fortress gives 10 instead of 14 LoS in stealth forest so I would expect it to go to 14 or something, maybe this is an intended balance issue, who knows.

Steps to reproduce: Open an explored Rus skirmish on highview and place some wooden towers
