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

WARNING: The following information has not yet been updated for Season 8!

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

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
