Outpost.jpg

Like the Observation Post and Lookout from Rise of Nations, Sentry Posts serve as an early warning system, capable of spotting enemy units even if they are concealed, but also have an additional use: they are used to conduct research into Taxation, increasing the amount of Wealth you derive from your people. Sentry Posts also allow you to recruit the fast-running and far-seeing Scouts, who are capable of revealing the map for you.

The Lydians can build these structures faster than any other faction, allowing them to access Envoys far quicker than would otherwise be the case.
