in Evony Age 2 just like Evony Age 1, the Beacon Tower act like an early warning system for incoming attacks. Each level of the beacon tower unlocks more detailed information from incoming attacks. The Beacon Tower is extremely important for defence but in Evony Age 2 it can be bluffed by using Stratagems. Also, Informatics technology is highly important since the Beacon Tower provides more detailed information for higher level informatics in conjunction with a high level Beacon Tower.
