As the inner wall was built earlier (by some century), it encompasses the actual citadel of the city and is a bit weaker than the outer wall. For both the inner and the outer wall separate boxes are on the map indicating their current strength. | + | Walls effect the resolution of melee and ranged combat.

Each unfought fire will destroy 5% of the current food token and Gold token supply of Urr. It takes 2 units the entire tactical turn to douse a fire. This still means that a handful of buildings sustain serious fire damage.
