Slagpit has 3 turrets.

One in each corner of his room.

as far as the questions Thomas poses -> that would be different for each set of countries played I guess. I've always wanted to eventually see a system where we have some that are basically just dead-weight all-x countries that will just put their head down and explore, others which will play like an untagged player, but with a memory of who attacked it, and even some which will play in tags and play in a more organized fashion.

That's why we're making it an API based system, so we can leverage the community to help create some of these systems. Anything that would be on a "live" server would be run locally by the admins, though. This is the kind of thing that we could spend a TON of time on, so outsourcing it is the best bet :p
