How to use it

The Watch House is a unique Danish House with greater line-of-sight and the ability to train and upgrade Snaphaner.

History

In the 17th century, rural Danish houses were part of a defensive network along contested borders and coastlines. Aside from housing civilians, these also doubled as signal hubs and gathering points for the Snaphaner, pro-Danish guerrillas resisting Swedish occupation. By lighting beacons and monitoring troop movements, these houses acted as early-warning systems.
