Defence
![]() |
Defence. It's what keeps us alive. It's what keeps those horrible flesh-eating zombies out of our town. You can never have too much defence.
Town defence[edit]
Defence is needed to keep the town protected from the masses of zombies from wiping out your town. Defence is calculated very basically. 1 defence prevents 1 zombie from entering the town (so if the town has 140 defence and 150 zombies attack that night, then 10 zombies will make it into town). Note: If the town gates are left open during the attack the towns defence means nothing, and all of the zombies will descend upon the town!
Defensive buildings[edit]
There are lots of things to build in your desolate town, each with its own perks and problems. Most of these include providing the town with defence every night. There are two kinds of defence: permanent and temporary.
Permanent[edit]
Permanent defence provides the town with defence throughout every attack without being destroyed. Buildings that provide permanent defence include:
Some defensive objects provide permanent defence for the town, as long as they are in the bank. Their defence value is from 1-2, depending on whether the Defensive Focus was built or upgraded. These include:
Having a Guardian alive and in town also boosts your town's defence by 5.
Temporary[edit]
Temporary defence only lasts for one night, and is destroyed during the nights attack. You can build it again the next night if you want, but it's extremely inefficient. Buildings that provide Temporary Defence include:
Some defensive objects provide temporary defence for the town. These include:
Home defence[edit]
- When
Zombies breach both the
Town and
Watchmen Defences during an
Attack, they will split up and attack the
Homes of
Citizens.
- Each individual Citizen's Home has it's own Defensive value, 40 % of which is added to the
Town's Defence (80 % with the
Construction of
Community Involvement).
Home Defence can be increased in several ways:
- Upgrading the Home (Refer to Home for exact amounts)
- Installing a
Makeshift Barricade (+1 for each Barricade (unlimited))
- Being a
Hero (+2)
- Being a
Guardian (+1) (Note: On top of the regular Hero bonus)
- Installing the Hero upgrade
Fence (+3)
- Keeping a
Defensive Object in one's
Personal Chest (+1 for each Object^^) (Note: Defensive Objects will not be enhanced by
Defensive Focus)
- Keeping either a
Lost or
Tortured Soul in one's Personal Chest (+2 for each Soul^^)
- Installing and upgrading
Reinforcements (+1 for each level up to 6, then +2 for each level from 7 to 10)
- The Construction
Fortifications being built (+4)
^^ These values do not contribute to Town Defence
