Battles
18 battles, from the Town districts and floodgates to the sewers and the Sewer Arena, with the defense power, squads and rewards of each.
Battles are started at the guard post, on the Day of Sloth only, and fought with zombie squads and the defenses built around the base. Each one names a minimum defense power and a number of squads, and is won by taking every enemy flag and holding them until the end.
