# Arrow Tower

[The building book](https://cozycity.net/help/buildings/arrow-tower)

A compact timber tower for a warden. It shoots at enemies within 12 m.

A staffed Arrow Tower is a protection building with a fast, short shot. Its warden fires at hostiles within 12 metres, and it counts as staffed protection only while that warden has arrived and is working.
