Tower expansion rules

[sarahhipkiss]

I have a very simplistic question about the tower rules: Can you play a tower block (wooden square) only when you pick up a tower landscape tile, or when you pick up any landscape tile?

We've tried playing it both ways and I think we're missing something obvious as the game doesn't seem any better with the towers - you can't play strategically as your meeple get snatched before they do anything useful.

u can play a tower any time u play a tile. but you can only play a tower piece if you don't play any other meeple.
