Radar Towers - How do they work?

[Meisier]

Ok, if I had PTW already I wouldn't need to ask these questions.

Basically "How do radar towers work?"

In particular,

Lets say unit A is in a square that is affected by a Radar tower it owns and it attacks unit B wich is ouside that area? What happens?

How about the reverse? Unit A is in a square affected by its radar and is attacked by unit B from a square that is not affected by its Radar?

Is it possible for the Attacker and the Defender to be affected by Rador towers at the same time?

Is it possible to own a radar tower in Enemy territory?
Neutral territory?
How/can ownership of the towers be taken over?
How easy is it to Pillage an enemy radar tower?

Can you build a fortress/airfield on the same square?

A lot of these questions apply to airfields as well I guess... but Radar towers seem to be able to affect combat a lot more...


Thanks for answering...

no bonus

bonus

Yes (or at least I think so)

Is it possible to own a radar tower in Enemy territory?

No (or rather, in the editor you can do this, but it won't last past the first turn)

Neutral territory?

In the editor, but not in the game

How/can ownership of the towers be taken over?

They can't. They are always destroyed

How easy is it to Pillage an enemy radar tower?

Very

No.

Airfields can be built in neutral terrain

Very

They are destroyed when you move onto them.

Interestingly, godforsaken hard-coded pillaging queue during artillery bombardment is: 1) railroads, 2) Irrigation/roads, and 3) Radar tower.

I'd like to see what material those radar dishes are made of...

They also disappear if cultural borders move so that they are in enemy territory. That's the main reason I said 'very'.
