In dark medieval times, every city had to defend itself. Buildings like
Guard Tower enable soldiers to spot the enemy on time in order to make
all necessary actions to properly prepare the city for attack. When
the soldiers on the Guard Tower sound the alarm, town gates are being
sealed and all who can fight equip themselves with weapons and readily
await the battle to commence. Guard towers are built on the outskirts
of a city, preferably on higher ground. These buildings have to be
sturdy enough to withstand enemy’s cannon balls, stones thrown by
catapults or even attacks by frenzied monsters such as Giants and
Treeman. It has to be high enough so soldiers are able to see as much
landscape as possible. Sometimes whole regiments of archers and other
troops are stationed in one Guard Tower.
