'''Guard tower''' is used for defensive purposes. It also increases [[kingdom]] influence, depending on the allegiance (loyalty to a particular kingdom) of the player who started building the tower. It also spawns [[tower guard]]s who are hostile to enemy kingdoms and aggressive animals. They do not However attack Enemy guards from the same town during a PMK switch over and not when called on each others (as they are all non-aggressive).

* You cannot create a guard tower inside a building. Failing to start or continue, the material(s) used will be damaged. * Guard towers take up one tile, but will overlap about half a tile in a 3x3 tile area around the central tile. * When attaching the last piece, make sure you are facing the tile you wish the tower to be created in. Guard towers can be rotated by the creator, so the initial rotation doesn't matter. They cannot be pushed or pulled Do not build fences on the tile borders of the center tile of a guard tower. Although the fence may built, it will eventually be destroyed. House walls will withstand a tower's influence, however. * Guard towers must be situated at least 50 tiles apart on Freedom servers. Note that it's NOT the actual "distance" that counts, but it has to be 50 tiles in each direction, e.g. going 50 tiles north and then 50 tiles west! . ** So: , a new tower actually must be outside a square of 101 tiles sidelength, with the existing tower in the middle. ''** Error msg message when too close: "{{event|inline|You can't continue the tower now; another tower is too near."''}}** Towers may be built minimum 150 tiles from another kingdom, except or 60 tiles if you are within your own kingdom. ''NOTE: These values are currently being reconfirmed due to PMK problems and player feedback.''

:A tower will create at least 60 tiles of kingdom influence, unless it is at the edge of opposing territory. There are also such things known as "hidden zones." Hidden zones are areas that mysteriously increase the influence radius of an altar or tower by an unusual amount. Hidden zones are most commonly found on mountains or sometimes lakes. There are also hidden zones in places around the world, sometimes small, sometimes large. Hidden zones have been known to add up to an extra 20 tiles on a altar's presence and sometimes up to 100 tiles on a tower's influence.

Guard towers can be destroyed with a weapon, such as a [[large maul]]. Catapults [[Catapult]]s have no effect on towers. *You may only destroy your own kingdom's towers if they are made by you or are located on your settlement.

*For each 10 QL of the tower, it will spawn 1 [[tower guard]], up to 5 guards. *A [[rarity system|rare]] guard tower will spawn 1 Extra [[extra tower guard]], allowing up to 6 guards.
