Defensive
There are two types of Defensive buildings:
Perimeter Defenses (under the «Defensive» tab on the «Construction» menu) and
Improvements (under the «Improvements» tab on the «Construction» menu).
To purchase Defensive buildings, you need Crystals and Resources.
The Perimeter is the wall surrounding your Sector. It includes Walls, Towers, Gun Turrets and Missile Turrets.
They improve the defensive capability of all Troops within your Sector.
Once you've researched new Technologies, advanced Perimeter Defense will become available.
Improvements are for enhancing the grounds of your Sector and adding to your Perimeter Defense.
Every Improvement item adds a few points to your Sector defense and increases your Troops' morale.
There are two types:
- Items that can be installed only within the grounds of your Sector.
- Items that can be installed both within your Sector and on the Perimeter of your Sector.
Remember: Perimeter buildings can be removed and replaced as you gain access to more advanced defensive walls and buildings.
Each segment of Wall you build helps to increase your Sector's defense bonus.
It also serves as a platform for installing Barbed wire, Barriers and Spotlights (these also contribute towards raising your Sector's overall defense bonus).
The number of Walls you can build is limited by only your Sector's size.
