Magical barriers block enemy's spells and items to your country. Requiring certain formula and technique, only an Archmage can build a barrier. There's no way to order anything when you are concentrating to build them. Higher rate of barriers will increase the chance of protecting yourself from various kind of magical attacks.
==Effects]]
- The percentage of barriers on your land determines overall spell resistance
- Building ~2.66% barriers gives the maximum 75% barrier resistance
- The skill Barrier Proficiency can raise maximum resistance to 83%.
- Barriers require 30 m.p./turn upkeep
- Barriers provide no space for population, vs 10 for wilderness.
Building barriers
- The number of Workshops does not increase the building rate for barriers (these are magical buildings)
- Neither does the Engineer
- If you build 50 barriers at once you will pay upkeep for 50 barriers for 50 turns at a cost of 75,000 mana in upkeep alone.
- Building them one turn at a time saves you ~37,500 mana.
- of course the faster you move, the less you risk being attacked while building barriers...
