Description

Defense Towns are locations that are attacked by waves of hostile NPCs. They come in the normal and veteran variants. The last wave includes a boss version of them.

The building housing the Town Crier has a timer for the next attack event and how many waves are left. Players from all factions are called to defend the town from the attackers.

The Mission building houses the NPC that gives a mission to defend the town and earn town defense tokens. These can be used to buy town specific materials. These areas also offer recipes for special Construction, Medicine, and Cooking items to aid players in the towns defense.

An icon on the world map serves as a reference to the current status of town (ex; time or waves remaining). If the players fail to defend the town, all building will be lost and the area will be considered "captured". To restart the event, all enemies must be cleared from the area.

Starting at level 25, players can accept the local town mission Barbarians at the Gate, as long as a Progress Mission Bundle is active on the town.

Notes

The more Windmills, Water Towers and Pumpjacks are placed, the more resources it spawns, but the more enemies it adds per wave, thus making it harder to defend for a small team.
If taking it back from the first time, the Progress Bunker Bundle should be a priority to place at the entrance, so defense can be easier. Up to five of them can be placed.
