About Empire Tower Defense - Zombie Fortress

Archers hold the walls in Empire Tower Defense, and the undead come at them in waves that grow faster than your income does. Placement is the core decision: an archer covering a bend in the path fires for longer than one covering a straight, and the difference compounds over a long wave. Resources arrive slowly enough that you cannot cover every approach, so each round becomes a bet on where the horde will apply pressure. Between waves you strengthen what survived. The fortress theme keeps it grounded — you are defending one fixed place rather than an abstract lane.

How to Play

Empire Tower Defense - Zombie Fortress FAQ

Should you spread archers out or cluster them in Empire Tower Defense?

Clustering around a chokepoint concentrates damage where the horde is slowest, which usually beats thin coverage everywhere. The risk is that a route you left uncovered becomes the one the wave takes.

How do you play Empire Tower Defense - Zombie Fortress?

Place your archers along the routes the undead take towards the fortress. Favour positions covering bends and chokepoints, where units stay in range longer. Manage resources between waves — upgrading an existing tower is often better value than adding a weak one. Hold the fortress through each successive wave; letting the horde reach the walls ends the run.
