Barrier Acre Breakdown.

[Omni]

This is a breakdown of how the barrier acres (BA#) are identified and used in mapping out a town. It seemed to me like there was little information available to this end, so I figured I'd run some tests and take some notes. If you see anything inaccurate, let me know. I think I pretty much got it down, though. Hope somebody finds this useful.

**N/A unable to identify: I was unable to figure out what these acres are for. They don't seem to have practical uses, unless I just missed something. If you know, please tell me.

Thanks for that. Yeah. This breakdown is really only for people who already understand how frustrating it can be to try to figure this stuff out through trial and error. lol. The main reason I wanted to make this guide is that most of those acres look exactly the same on the screen, but have very different functions from each other in game.
