Building
Template:Infobox Building The Guard Tower is an upgraded version of the Watch Tower, and hence the second upgrade of the Sentry Tower.
Guard Towers are available to all cultures except the Norse. They defend well, but siege weapons and groups of soldiers will destroy them with ease, so it is not recommended to rely solely on towers for defense.
History
Improved towers or other fortifications might be placed at vital points like river crossings or mountain passes where enemies would be forced to pass. The garrison of the guard tower was expected to fight and defend the fortification until help could arrive, as well as warn commanders of encroachments. Because such a fortification was usually placed at a vital position, an enemy could not afford to pass it by, leaving their retreat path blocked.
