Watch Dogs

Watch Dogs are perimeter guardians. Their job is to safe guard an area approximately the size of a fully built out compound + 10 coords.

Watch Dogs can be placed inside a compound to ward off others from building too close or they can be placed in the landscape to protect outdoor buildings or building locations.

Their use is optional and limited.
