       About Defences suggested by Mac Edwards

       Defenses, I see them way too often in your outposts.
       Yes they look "cool" but that must be the only positive point
       about them.
       Let's think about it a bit.
       They cost you pop space and you can use that pop space for more
       open shops aka more XPs
       They cost you res to build and you can use those res to
       build/upgrade other buildings/units
       Most of the time they cover your occ fields which is counter
       productive
       They cover space which renders the laying of wimp bombs harder
       They dilute your SPs when fighting enemies in your outpost.
       So tell me again why so many still have them?

       Very good points. All true. However:
       Maybe the player still needs defenses to take out invading
       forces. Especially to protect vehicle factories.
       What about the players still immersed in single player quests?
       Sometimes it's necessary to build defenses in order to advance
       in the gameplay or unlock a building or unit.
       For example, many moons ago, I sold off all my pillboxes and
       cannon towers. Later on, the story line required me to rebuild
       one of each. That was a true waste of resources. The story line
       later required me to build sirens and chem towers. I learned
       from my first experience not to be hasty with selling these
       items, and placed the chem towers near the places I don't want
       others to occupy or raid.
       Another example: I made it a goal to unlock as many achievements
       as possible and earn as many Z2 points as I could. Now I have a
       bunch of garrisons lying around. Taking up space? Yes. Using up
       pop? Yes. I considered selling off the garrisons until I read
       they could be used for wimp ranking. One day I hope to return
       the favor other guild members paid me by providing them with
       wimp garrisons.
       I'm sure there are valid counter-points to the argument I just
       gave, and I hope players can learn from looking at this issue
       from multiple perspectives.
