Description
A high guard tower.
Guard tower is used for defensive purposes. It spawns tower guards who are hostile to enemy kingdoms and aggressive animals.
Creating
- You cannot create a guard tower inside a building. Failing to start or continue, the material(s) used will be damaged.
- 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 in. Guard towers can be rotated by the creator, so the initial rotation doesn't matter. They cannot be pushed or pulled.
- Guard towers must be situated at least 50 tiles apart. Note that it's NOT the actual "distance" that counts, but it has to be 50 tiles in each direction, e.g. going 50 tiles north and then 50 tiles west. ** So, a new tower actually must be outside a square of 101 tiles sidelength, with the existing tower in the middle.
Destroying
Guard towers can be destroyed with a weapon.
- Only by the builder of the tower or if it is on deed where permissions allow it.
Guards
- For each 10 QL of the tower, it will spawn 1 tower guard, up to 5 guards.
- A rare guard tower will spawn 1 extra tower guard, allowing up to 6 guards.
Range and Response
- Guards will respond to a help call if the creature is within 20 tiles of the Guard tower, not of the guards.
- The monster needs to be within 20 tiles of the tower but you can call the guards as long as you are in local range of the tower (80 tiles).
- This can be done by saying either "help" or "guards!" in Local chat within range of a guard tower, after which the guards will attack your current target.
- The text to call the guards MUST be typed in lower case letters to work.
- 2 Guards respond per call, but you can call for more 10 seconds later.
Notes
- They will not automatically hunt other hostile creatures within their range; rather, they will only do so when ordered to by a player.
- Do not build fences on the tile borders of the center tile of a guard tower. Although the fence may be built, it will eventually be destroyed. House walls will withstand a tower's influence, however.
