Town Walls are physical barriers that block access. They are constructed segment-by-segment and have two straight segments (one with a gate) and one 90-degree corner segment. They can be very useful when trying to protect certain Beasts or your Thinker, or may be used to prevent your Braves from accidentally walking across an environmental hazard. Notably, Town Walls can only be placed on flat surfaces, and become less useful on hilly terrain.
