Barricades are the last defense of a humanity under siege by the forces of darkness. Barricading will stop Vampires and Zombies from entering a particular building. However, do take note that if a building is barricaded beyond Barricaded, other Humans will need to take 10 AP to enter and 5 AP to leave.

Only Humans can build barricade, destroy barricade efficiently, climb in and out of barricaded buildings.

Construction of Barricades

The construction of barricades can only be accomplished by humans.

A chance of successfully constructing barricade is different for each building.

Demolishing Barricades

Whereas only humans can put up barricades, all of Twilight's residents can tear them down whether with tools or by tooth and claw. However, Humans can buy the Demolition skill, which greatly aids in the taking down of barricades.

NPCs can randomly destroy barricades.
