Turret

Overview
The Turret is a Defensive Building within The Conquerors 3; it’s the second cheapest Defensive building that the user can build to defend against enemy attacks. The Turret costs $65 to build and must be near another Building to construct. The Turret itself isn’t very tough as its hit-points are low. The Turret can target all units.

Usage
The main use of a Turret is to defend against an attack. This can be done by strategically placing them in a good vantage point to ensure maximum damage is done, or spamming down as many as you can to kill off a brutal attack. Turrets are mainly used within the early game to claim certain Energy Crystal locations from the enemy. This only works half of the time, and as the only troops available are Light Soldiers and a Scout, this will most likely make the enemy rush for a Barracks to rule the mid-game. Turrets can also be used to push an enemy base. This is done by the player slowly building turrets towards an enemy Command Centre, and, although expensive, while using turrets each section that the player builds on has some sort of defense. This is mostly used in Territory Conquest.

Strategies

 * With Turrets being as cheap as a Power Plant, many of them can be constructed at once, meaning that with a decent income the player can build enough turrets to support a combat zone.
 * One strategy that players use is called the Mini-HQ: this is composed of 1 construction solder and 4 turrets, costing $285 in total. The idea behind it is to quickly build a Multi-building base to slow the enemy down; its purpose of being separate is that the enemy will have to kill each segment of it to rid it completely, whilst being backed up with troops.


 * The Mini-HQ can hold down some situations in which extra firepower is needed. You can also use them combined with AA turret to fend of air and ground attacks around your crystals if they are under attack. Also, you can use them to get to higher ground if you don't want to spend the money.
 * Since turrets have a very low health, placing bunkers in front of them can greatly increase their survivability. A bunker has 400 health, then placing a couple turrets behind that can create a cheap, formidable defensive structure.

Trivia

 * The Turret was in The Conquerors, The Conquerors 2, and The Conquerors Mark 2.
 * The Turret does the lowest amount of damage out of all defense buildings.
 * The Byzantine and Greek skins fire arrows instead of lasers. The same goes for all other Byzantine and Greek base defense skins.
