Currently you are rewarded for making the best choice by also getting more of everything else.

Actually the best choice ( if you do not count cost ) is mage tower. But it's hideously expensive.

Don't I wish that one could mod towers.

Mind you, this still makes no thematic sense. Then again, a tiny watchtower's garrison reclaiming an entire province less than a month after a raid by Ghost Riders doesn't make much sense either, so I suppose we're to conclude the basic watchtower was ma-a-agic in the first place.

Color me impressed.

Ugh. . . maybe you should try keeping the cost between 0 and 120.

Heh. But would you really ever buy a mountain citadel if it only costed 120 less than a watch tower?

Hill fortress might be too valuable there - I think it has one of the best defensive layouts with that narrow corridor. Maybe make it 60 points too?

Regardless, I think those numbers would make the nation castle choice a lot more difficult (in a good way).
