Towns

Towns
Small, rare and not very useful, Towns produce small amounts of gold for the nation occupying it every turn. Towns require a garrison to be looked after as they have no defense of their own unlike Cities.

Strategy
Towns are a very low priority target as the benefits they bring do not outweigh the potential dangers and/or losses incurred while defending them. Therefore they should be somewhat avoided, only sought after once all major cities in the area have been taken or if undefended and away from most of the battles
