Barracks is a building which forms a crucial part of Goodgame Empire. They enable the player to recruit soldiers, at a cost of some gold coins. Without a barracks, players are unable to recruit soldiers to the outpost they are viewing, even if they have one in another castle or outpost. When the barracks are upgraded, a variety of soldiers are unlocked for recruitment. In addition to unlocking more units, the higher the level of the barracks, the higher the recruitment speed bonus and unit capacity per slot. Unlike most other buildings, the Barracks cannot be demolished and only one can be built per castle or outpost. For more information on each soldier type that can be recruited, see the individual pages for each. Overall this building provides a great aspect to the game as a whole! Levels 1 to 5 cost wood and stone, but levels 6 to 15 cost construction and upgrade tokens, obtained through the Outer Realms, The Storm Islands certain offers, and the Kingdom’s League. Note if you upgrade spearman, bowman, maceman, and crossbowman into veteran counterpart, the regular ones will be replaced by stronger ones.
In the June 2020 update, levels 14 and 15 of the barracks were released, allowing for the recruitment of Shield-maiden and Valkyrie ranger but is unlocked at legendary level 650 and after researching the respectable tech in the hall of legends, just like all of the new leveled buildings. In May 2022 update, to unlock veteran black units you must upgrade your barracks to level 6. Can be placed inside Military District.

Instead of using its intended construction time and cost to build, in the game, there is a feature where only those who are at lower levels can build this structure in a much faster time at a much cheaper price.
