The Flame Tower is a defensive structure for the Latin Confederation, which can be deployed via a support power accessible from the Battle Lab anywhere on the battlefield to ambush enemies, especially infantry and light vehicles. The Flame Tower's weapon is roughly similar to the Pyro's flamethrower, only deals more damage and has longer range.
A fiery explosion will also occur on the location of the Flame Tower's spawn point, so it is encouraged to use it in the center of an enemy infantry battalion where the explosion is most effective.
Note that the Flame Tower will not prevent the owner from being defeated should all of his/her other structures are destroyed when Short Game is enabled.
AI behavior[]
The AI will use Flame Tower to target a clear space close to the center of the enemy base. If all enemies are defeated, the AI will target their own base, with the same circumstances.
