Watch Dogs
Please check the Discussion Page for more details about Dogs and how they work.
Watch Dogs are perimeter guardians.
Their job is to safe-guard an area approximately the size of a fully built out compound + 10 coords.
Watch Dogs can be placed inside a compound to ward off others from building too close or they can be placed in the landscape to protect outdoor buildings or building locations.
Every player receives one Watch Dog per cornerstone they own.
They can be given away to a guild, but once donated they become the permanent property of the guild and cannot be reclaimed.
Their use is optional and limited.
