Game Info[]

Advanced defensive building. Requires Castle or Mughal Fort.

Strategy[]

The Arsenal is the next-level military defense building. As usual, build it in border cities and strategic hotspots across your empire.

Civilopedia entry[]

An arsenal is a larger and more extensive armory, containing an army's bigger and more dangerous weapons systems - tanks, artillery, high-explosive ammunition, and so forth. Arsenals are even more heavily-guarded than armories, since nobody wants anybody stealing a tank or an 88-mm explosive shell.
