Ancient Watchtowers

Description
"Ancient Watchtowers, built by Skyrim's High Kings of old. Waystations, check points and defences, these stone edifices dot the landscape from east to west across Whiterun Hold. Nowadays they provide both shelter for tired travellers as well as hideouts for raiders and outlaws. Folk should be wary..."
Jo Mith - Traveling Merchant

Ancient Watchtowers adds 8 Nordic Ruined Towers to central Skyrim, specifically Whiterun Hold. Various factions hold these strategic locations, including both Imperial Forces and Stormcloak Rebels, while others provide a base for bandit raiders.

Big thanks to Aplestormy for the video.

Conflicts: None hopefully.

Any feedback is appreciated. If you subscribe and enjoy please rate the mod!

Could you please make a version that has the legion occupying the towers? Will I get a bounty if attack the Stormcloaks in the towers?

I've noticed that followers have a hard time navigating through these towers. "Amazing follower tweaks" allows you summon your followers to you, solving this for the most part. There seems to be an additional tower not on your map, closer to rorikstead. while watching imperials escorting a prisoner past a fully stocked imperial tower, a bandit raid happened. while fighting with 15+ imperials, i hit one and then me and my 3 companions were in all out war. once we finished about 10 on the ground we then turned our attention to the remaining imperials raining arrows down from the tower. Just then, another imperial patrol came in and the captain murdered me. I love this mod.

OMG guard patrols attacking a defended stormcloak tower. coolest thing i've seen since i bought the game. I was hoping there would be more to the ongoing war part of the game. I recommend this in addition to "Immersive Patrols", and "Guards of the Hold" series which includes 9 parts for each vanilla city. **Warning: Guards of the Hold give the guards better gear, so they will win against the stormcloaks every time. also try "RNG (Dynamic) Guards" for better guard appearance with vanilla stats.

Uhm, apparently, Stormcloaks occupy the tower near Whiterun, and now the guards are in an eternal struggle of 9000 arrows, Stormcloaks shooting guards, guards shooting Stormcloaks, I have no problem with dead Stormcloaks, but it's odd that they'd fight eachother like this, or more importantly that the tower has Stormcloaks in it.
