Moat

Moats can be built after building the Chamber of War.

A Moat (temporarily) converts a clear to a  tile. Moats cannot be built on Piers or existing s, but Piers can be built on top of Moat tiles.

Most importantly a Moat slows down Ogres during a Viking raid, so use moats to slow down Ogres from attacking walls and towers. Build moats along the outer sides of walls and around the bases of towers.

A Moat has the same properties as, meaning it provides the same + to houses and can be used by a Noria to provide to Bath Houses or Reservoirs via Aqueducts.

Moats can be used to build canals and larger artificial bodies of water. For example, a one tile canal can be built from an existing lake to open water and blocked by a Drawbridge allowing Trading Ships a safe harbor at a Dock built on the normally inaccessible lake.

The Moat can be destroyed like any other building. When it is destroyed, the returns.

Merchants may require that Docks be built on naturally occurring s.

Moats behave like s during rain when the world-wide water level is raised up to the edge of s. This effect is purely aesthetic.
