Forget Koreans for one second.
This is about the infamous tower tech that caused such controversy in patch 4.7 African Kingdoms.
Ever since it got nerfed post 4.8, removed from several civs, moved up an age, increased the cost and then the damage output halved (although it now affects secondary arrows). Who legitimately researches this in a realistic game?
We saw in Legacy DM Cup how OP Japanese Yasama Keeps with Arrowslits were. But 9 times out of 10 outside of DM and in RM where you aren't in post imp. If your civ has BBT you're more likely to make that over keeps.
So I ask. What is the point of this tech if it's hardly ever used?
I see guard tower researched often as a deterrent to Mangonels (super effective after fletching and even better after bodkin) but you almost never ever see keeps or arrowslits unless it's Japanese or Koreans or in a very rare case the Teutons.
Is the tech useless or is it so niche it basically serves zero purpose by the time it can finally come into play?
