Barracks

Infantry Unit Training
The Barracks is where the creation and removal of Infantry Units is preformed. It also gives vital information about each Infantry Unit available to the Commander.




 * 1) Unit Availability - Shows the available Units for Training. It also show the number of each that currently are not in a Platoon or Defending the Base.
 * 2) Unit Info - Shows vital info about each Unit Type: Production Cost & Time, Stats and Space required.
 * 3) Overall Land & Vehicle Capacity - Show the total Used & Available space for adding Units. Space Available is determined by the Storage Building.
 * 4) Unit Training - Show the Time remaining on the current Unit being trained and the production order of the units waiting to be trained.
 * 5) Barracks Level - Shows current level of the barracks and the Unit Training (build) and Repair Time Bonus for that level. Also gives the same info for the Next Level if applicable.

Infantry Unit Dismissal
The Barracks is also where the Commander may dismiss any Infantry Unit that is not in a Platoon or Defending the Base to free up space for alternative Units both Infantry and Land Vehicles.

Infantry Unit Repair
The Barracks Level determines the percentage of Repair and Build Time reduction for all Infantry Units.

Example: Fifty-Five Level 1 Riflemen takes 2m 45s to repair with a Level 1 Barracks. The same Units with a Barracks Level 10 only take 1m 31s to repair due to the 45% reduction in Repair Times afforded to that Level of Barracks.



Unfortunately, although being set by the Barracks, Repair time info is not found there nor is that where the actual Repairs take place. Repairs take place in the Platoon Main Panel and is where the above info is taken from.

Quotes
"Infantry units get produced faster and they're hungrier than ever for a kill."
