Tower of Loathing

One of the most disheartening sights for an enemy commander is a Tower of Loathing being erected on a captured Strategic Point or Relic. These ugly towers serve as a basic defensive fortification in newly captured territory, protecting it until further reinforcements can be called in. Additionally, it can be upgraded with equipment to allow requisition rates to increase, as well as heavy weapons to mow down oncoming hostile forces.

Tactics

Build Towers of Loathing on captured Strategic Points and Relics to improve requisition gained by +6 ( +12 total for the point) and provide a greater sight radius of the surrounding area (though it still relies on the Strategic Points base detection range for infiltrated units). In addition when the Tower of Loathing has finished construction you are given a gift of 50 . This means that the Tower will have paid for itself just under 75 seconds after it has been finished.

You can also upgrade your Towers of Loathing for 100 75  which further improves requisition gained by another +6 ( +18 total) and adds a useful point-defense gun which is effective on infantry. This time the upgrade takes nearly 3 minutes just to pay for its requisition costs so it should only be done if you expect to hold the point for a while or you want the turret that the upgrade provides.

Upon reaching Tier 2 you can upgrade your Towers of Dominance for 250 150  to improve requisition gained +6 ( +24 total), increase the health of the Post by 1250 and greatly improve the Tower's range and damage. However this upgrade would take over 7 minutes to pay for its own requisition costs so the point should only be upgraded to this state if you need the improved health and weapon it provides.

In Tier 2 the Tower of Dominance or Carnage can be upgraded with dual Dark Lances. This upgrade is quite cheap, and does NOT replace existing weaponry. This makes the Tower effective against all units, and extremely good against air units. If you have the resources, be sure to purchase the Dark Lance add-on for all Towers likely to encounter the enemy. As the Dark Eldar lack turrets, this upgrade can greatly bolster their defenses.
