	* Alarms

	~~Cons:~~

	* Still Target
	* Can Collaspe by Land Changes
	* Uses 5 pieces of [[Wood]] plus Repairs

	~~==The Layout==~~

	Guard Towers are good when placed on hills and cliffs as it makes it twice as high and strong. Lots of towers in a line with [[Firewarrior]]s in can easily blast enemy followers especially the enemy [[Shaman]].

	~~==[[Camping]]==~~

	[[Camping]] can be done with towers. It is when you are keeping your [[Shaman]] in a high tower and killing the attacks but not attacking them. Although people don't like it as it brings no fun or is boring it can save your life but you must attack at some point or you will finally get broken into by your enemy.
