Barracks

Rough stone base, timber-framed plaster panels above, multi-peak tiled roof, and a heraldic shield bolted over the front door. You hear it before you see it — a sergeant’s voice cutting through the morning, a drill column ringing boots against flagstone, the slap of a bowstring on the practice range. This is where an empire teaches a farmer to hold a spear.

Game Role

Recruitment — passive cadence produces one Soldier on demand. Consumes Coin + Food from the Capital.
Crafting — Craftsman-intent units at the Barracks convert Timber + Iron into Arrow stacks via the BarracksCraftingSystem per-unit callback (not a recipe cycle).
Supply fetch — BarracksSupplyStatus.IsNeedy triggers haulers to restock consumed materials from Capital storage.
Services — provides Healing (priority 2), Sleep (capacity 5), and Food (priority 1). Wounded / exhausted units prefer the Barracks over the Capital.
Footprint — single hex. Must be placed inside Player territory.
Durability — 400 HP, the second-sturdiest after the Capital.

Lore

Every Barracks in the kingdom traces its drill patterns back to a single manual, bound in cracked leather and copied by hand in every generation. Veterans argue over the correct grip for a spear, the right count for a shield-wall step, the phrasing of the morning oath — and they all cite the same book while disagreeing.
