Scout Tower (Warcraft II)

Scout Towers are tall, sturdy structures constructed to guard the borders of many settlements. From these sites, the defenders of Lordaeron can spot enemy troops from high above, making it difficult for the Orcs to launch surprise attacks. Their presence in the wildlands assures the swift deployment of our armies to meet any Orc incursion. These Towers may be outfitted with either deadly bolts that can pierce targets on land, sea and air, or with great cannon that while powerful, cannot attack threats from above.

• Scout Towers are built by Peasants. They can spot approaching enemies (including Giant Turtles), but are unarmed and cannot help defend your settlement. Therefore, they are usually upgraded to Guard or Cannon Towers.
