A guard tower cannot be moved once completed so it is vital to be standing in the right position upon completion so it orients itself in the way the player desires. The position of an unfinished tower is not necessarily the position it will take upon completion.
When finished, the door of the tower will be 45 degrees to the <del>left</del> right(see [[Talk:Guard tower]] for further information) of where the player is currently looking.
'''For example:'''
|}
The player should stand on "E" and face "GI" while they're attaching the last piece of the guard tower. This will make the tower face "H" when completed.
Sometimes a tower will jump to the tile the player is facing upon completion.
'''Example 1:'''
If the player is facing "DH" to orient the tower to face "G" then they should be standing on "E" centered along the "E/FB" border.
'''Example 2:'''
If the player is facing "IF" to place the tower so it faces "FI" then the player should be standing on "E" in the "A/B/D/E" corner.
