Barracks

A Barracks is a type of Building. It can be constructed in any town belonging to any race, and has no prerequisites. Its base construction cost is, and it has no Upkeep Cost.

The Barracks improves all units generated in the city by one experience level, and also allows construction of a War College.

(EDIT: Is this paragraph true for Caster of Magic?) If pressed for Gold, a Barracks can be sold back for.

Description
A Barracks is simply a large hall which serves to house military personnel - in this case the recruits who will later form Normal Units constructed at a town. It raises the experience of such units by 30 EXP (ie. one level).

The building is a large rectangular structure, filled with dormitory rooms for the recruits. Many windows line its sides. The top of the structure has a flat roof surrounded with parapets - probably so that it can be used as a defensive fortification in case of attacks (though this has no real effect in-game).

Races and Construction
All Races in the game have access to the Barracks. No other Buildings are required in order to create a Barracks - it is available for construction as soon as a town becomes capable of producing anything.

Continuous Effects
The Barracks raises the level of all new Normal Units created in the town to "Regular".

Unlocked Buildings
A Barracks unlocks the War College.

Strategy
Because the Barracks improves all units generated in a city and has no maintenance cost, it is a strong option for any city that will produce military units.
