'''Guard tower''' is used for defensive purposes. It also increases [[kingdom]] influence, depending on the allegiance (loyalty to a particular kingdom) of the player who started building the tower. It also spawns [[tower guard]]s who are hostile to enemy kingdoms and aggressive animals. They do not However attack Enemy guards from the same town during a PMK switch over and not when called on each others (as they are all non-aggressive).

You cannot create * At 25 masonry skill, with 8ql bricks and 18ql clay, the chance to start a guard tower inside a buildingis roughly 44%. * Failing to start or continue, the material(s) used will be damaged.* You cannot create a guard tower inside a building.* Guard towers take up one tile, but will overlap about half a tile in a 3x3 tile area around the central tile.* When attaching the last piece, make sure you are facing the tile you wish the tower to be created on. Guard towers can be rotated by the creator, so the initial rotation doesn't matter. They cannot be pushed or pulled.* Guard towers on Freedom servers can't be constructed in a radius of 50 tiles of another guard tower. ** Error message when too close: {{event|inline|You can't continue the tower now; another tower is too near.}}** Towers on PVP may be built minimum 150 tiles from another kingdom, or 60 tiles if you are within your own kingdom.

Towers may be built minimum 150 tiles from another kingdom, except 60 tiles if you are within your own kingdom. ''NOTE: These values are currently being reconfirmed due to PMK problems and player feedback.'' [[Image:Freedomtower.png|thumb|right|A guard tower on the [[Freedom Isles]] up close.]] == Influence ==A tower will create at least 60 tiles of kingdom influence, unless it is at the edge of opposing territory. There are also such things known as "hidden zones." Hidden zones are areas that mysteriously increase the influence radius of an altar or tower by an unusual amount. Hidden zones are most commonly found on mountains or sometimes lakes. There are also hidden zones in places around the world, sometimes small, sometimes large. Hidden zones have been known to add up to an extra 20 tiles on a altar's presence and sometimes up to 100 tiles on a tower's influence.
