====== Guard Tower ======

The Guard Tower employs and houses a single Guard to protect your colony, patrol the surrounding area, and respond to threats.

==== Overview ====
The Guard Tower is a basic security building. It houses one Guard who will patrol a set area, respond to hostile mobs, and protect citizens and buildings. The tower can be upgraded to increase the guard’s patrol range, health, and available features. Guard Towers work best when placed near key colony assets or entrances.

^ Hut Level ^ Max Guard Level ^ Patrol Range (blocks) ^
| 1 | 1 | 80 |
| 2 | 2 | 110 |
| 3 | 3 | 140 |
| 4 | 4 | 170 |
| 5 | 5 | 200 |

*Upgrading increases the Guard’s max level, patrol area, and effectiveness. Advanced features may require University research.*
