Btw, what is the benefit of Barricade action?

If building is open, you can Barricade yourself inside the building. (Or on top of the building)

-This makes escape impossible during combat, may improve your combat against certain enemies like zombies-

Certain buildings will have different barricade ratings (integrity of the structure) for Interior (versus Zombies), and Roof (versus El Gigante)

Some buildings are perfect for repelling a zombie attack. Others, well, not so great. (Plus or minus combat versus zombies)

Some buildings are perfect for repelling a different kind of attacker (el Gigante type creatures). Others will crumble to dust with you on top, which is bad news for you. (Plus combat, neutral, or gives a penalty versus el gigante. Meaning, skip a round of combat while the roof collapses)

These ratings will be hidden, but simply inspecting the building will tell you what kind of building it is, and what sort of architecture it has. Then you can make an educated guess.

But if the building is more dilapidated than it appears, you could be in for a rough ride.
