I'm just now noticing this, but the barricade doesn't make any sense in the combat system we have. With A* pathfinding, the AI will just run around it (especially since they're placed randomly). There is no reason to attack them. It would function as if it were just a normal collideable tile.

@DaFluffyPotato they'll run around and potentially in to something else or, given the rules in the ai (#77) if they can't find the target they want in time then they'll charge whatever is in the way, which could be the barricade.

So it only ever impacts cavalry when charging?
