doesn't protect you though from flying . so with caelum / abysia / mictlan expect always fliers attacking your hinterlands .

for all races which don't need stuff early-midgame that needs more than 15 resources to produce watchtower/mausoleum is good ( ryleh , mictlan etc. ) . just spam them in every province as i said .

with races who need high resource stuff earlygame you should take the 80 points 40 admin castle and build it only in strategic important locations . or you can consider taking a lower admin but high protection castle with these ( main focus on defense value , nbr of archertowers ) .

in lategame when you don't need your national troops anymore you can build everywhere a castle

OIC...thanks for the explaination...was just wondering if you intend to go on spamming watchtower/masolluem, hence mass producing low resource units in every province is it a powerful tatic in SP? It seems that that was the tactic employed by AIs in my SP games.

Can you hope to win using only huge amount of low level units?
