| Prerequisite: |
| Fort |
| Cost: |
5  1000 
|
| Effect: |
| Increases the visibility range of the town to a radius of 20 squares |
The radius is measured from the garrison square of the town.
The effect of Lookout Tower takes place immediately after it has been built, and at the beginning of player's every turn after that. This results in a situation where Cover of Darkness can temporarily "darken" its effect by affecting after the tower. In other words, visiting Cover of Darkness on Adventure Map causes fog of war to appear inside the radius of Lookout Tower hiding all movement of enemy hero(es).
Horn of the Abyss[edit | hide | hide all]
In Heroes of Might and Magic III, the Lookout Tower is represented by a pair of towers joined to the castle by a bridge. In Horn of the Abyss, the shortest of the towers joined by the bridge is instead part of the basic fort, and the Lookout Tower becomes an observation cabin built on top of it, while the taller of the towers added by the Lookout Tower is no longer present.
