-*You can ask tower guards to attack a hostile animal that is attacking you (that you are targeting), by typing ''"help"'' or ''"guards!"'' in Local chat window (this is case sensitive and must be all lower case in order to call the guards.) Guards will not attack creatures that are not normally aggro, even if they are attacking you, such as deer or unicorns.
+* You can call out for tower guards to attack a hostile animal that is attacking you (that you are targeting), by typing ''"help"'' or ''"guards!"'' in the Local Chat window (this is case sensitive and must be all lower case in order to call the guards.)
-*For every 10 [[quality]] of the tower you will get '''one''' guard. The minimum quality required to get a tower guard is 10. There is a maximum of 5 tower guards per tower; any increase in QL above 50 has no impact on numbers and strength of guards, though it will make your tower harder to destroy.
+*For every 10 [[quality]] of the guard tower, one guard will be spawned and present for battle. The minimum quality required to get a tower guard is 10. There is a maximum of 5 tower guards per tower; any increase in QL above 50 has no impact on numbers and strength of guards, though it will make your tower harder to destroy.
-*It is useful to [[keybind|bind]] calling help to a key. To do this - Press {{key|F1}} to open console and type in ''bind key "say help"''. Replace 'key' with the key you wish to bind it to. That key will call the tower guards unless it is rebound. Additionally, as long as the text consists of "help" or "guards!" it can be customized for fun. Example, "guards! Kill this thief!"
+*Guards will not answer calls for help against targets inside caves, unless they themselves are inside that cave, and the target is within tower range.
 *Guards stuck inside [[caves]] most often won't respond to calls for help on the surface. To prevent guards from entering caves, place mine doors on all nearby entrances.
