* HarderThanHard: Pandemonium towns (Hardcore towns in the English version) are intended to be this, with rules that heavily increase the lethality of the game. Defensive buildings and items can be damaged or even destroyed during the nightly attacks, the chances of dying from infection or failing a camp and being DevouredByTheHorde are much greater, and people can become injured much more easily, among other things. In exchange, the LMS gets double the normal Hero days.
