So we've heard. I'm personally waiting til the demo til I pass judgement on anything, but I'm not too worried about this. But hell, if it's an option, that means more variety, and that's always good. It does make me feel more at ease to know it's a wizard tower upgrade, and not a city one. That seems to be an important distinction.
And we've heard elsewhere that this is the last wizard tower upgrade, from a fully upgraded town...sounds like this won't even be an option til much later in the game. If it takes a couple of turns to complete one type of upgrade, that'll be lots of turns before it is even an option.
Anyway, all judgements reserved til I see it in action, I was just passing that along for those who are more concerned than I...
Edit: Good point about the literature-themed maps... I'm not a mapmaker myself, so I never thought of that. (though with these towers and such, a LotR map would be really good. Sauron in Barad Dur sending out the black storm over Minas Tirith, Saruman enchanting his orcs from Orthanc...cool stuff. I can't wait.)
