A '''''[[Guard Tower]]''''' is a unique building which can be placed anywhere on the landscape to give you an advanced warning of an Enemy attack. Any [[Follower]] placed inside the tower will sound a warning bell whenever an Enemy [[Follower]] approaches. You can then zoom to the Tower by pressing the Space Bar. 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. Because of the height of the tower, any [[Follower]] placed inside has improved abilities. [[Shaman]]s can fire [[spell]]s further, [[Brave]]s extend the look-out range, [[Warrior]]s will call for help to defend the settlement, [[Firewarrior]]s can fire further, [[Preacher]]s can preach further and [[Spy|Spies]] can unmask Enemy [[Spy|Spies]]. Building the Guard Tower on top of high ground will extend these ranges even further. ('''[[Guard Tower|more...]]''')

A pressure point game with highly defended bases

Pressure Point is identicle to the Single Player level, Middle Ground. However most players do not worship the Stone Head which grants you Armageddon unlike the computer players do in Single Player. This is a level which goes in depth on defending with towers. You each start with a good shaped, bunky base with many wildies spread over the terrain. Earthquakes will shape the land heavily but it will take many earthquakes to sink it down to water as the land is so high. (more...)
