It is available first on the [[Iron Age]], after upgrading the [[Sentry Tower]] from the [[Granary]]. To research the technology that provides this kind of tower, 300 food and 100 stone is required. This unit starts out with 200 hit points, 6 attack and 7 range. The stats can be upgraded. It offers effective defense against other [[Bronze Age]] units, but needs to be upgraded to the [[Ballista Tower]] to have any kind of effectiveness against Iron Age units. Almost every civilization can build this type of tower. The only exceptions to this are the [[Roman Empire|Romans]], the [[Minoans]] and the [[Yamato]]. If played as the [[Babylonians]], the hit points for this building doubles. If played as the [[Choson]], the range increases by 2 points. |

They are the upgrade of the Watch Tower, researched from the [[University]].

Up to five foot-soldiers ([[infantry]] and [[archers]], although infantry do not increase the firepower of the tower) may be garrisoned into the watch tower. When garrisoned in the guard tower (or any other building) units will slowly regain any lost hit points. This ability can be sped up by researching [[Herbal Medicine]]. |

Defensively, towers may be upgraded with [[Masonry]], [[Architecture]] (increase HP), and [[Murder Holes]] (eliminates minimum range). Towers are generally more useful in the game for stopping and slowing small raiding parties. They are ineffective against large armies and siege weapons. |

They are fairly effective but siege weapons and groups of soldiers will destroy them with ease, and it is not recommended to solely rely on towers. |
