Free Placement
Build anywhere on clear ground. A tower covering the inside of a bend sees more of the route than the same tower on a straightaway, and how much more depends on how far back you build.

Build anywhere.
Night Cartographer has no build slots. Fifteen charts of open ground beside a fixed route, and corners are worth more than straightaways.

Night
Cartographer
One tower type, and a lot of open ground.
You place towers on any clear ground beside the route. A tower sitting inside a bend covers more of the path than the same tower on a straight run, so the spots worth holding are the ones the route wraps around.

Wyrmhold
A tower defense where the tower moves. You steer an articulated mobile fortress across the map, bolting on cannons, armor, and workshops as pressure escalates. As your fortress grows longer and more powerful, it becomes harder to turn and more vulnerable to flanking attacks.
