Guard Tower

Wood : 5

Area : 1 X 1

The Guard Tower is a building which can be placed anywhere on the landscape to give an advance warning of an enemy attack. Any follower placed inside the tower will sound a warning bell whenever an enemy follower approaches. Pressing the space bar will then zoom to the tower. Since the Guard Tower does not need to be constructed next to an existing building, it can also be used to begin a new settlement. Enemy followers (including invisible ones) that are close enough to a guard tower will appear on the minimap.

Because of the height of the tower, any follower placed inside has improved abilities:

The Shaman, Firewarriors and Preachers have their range increased
Braves extend the look-out range
Warriors can call for help, if the player presses B (http://cdplayer.popre.net/strategy/interface.htm)
Spies can unmask enemy Spies and hide all buildings and followers in their range from worldview

Building the Guard Tower on top of high ground will extend these ranges even further.

-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==
+{{Nav_Huts}}
-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.
