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. 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 13 cost construction and upgrade tokens, obtained through the Outer Realms, certain offers, and the Kingdom’s League.
In the June 2020 update, levels 14 and 15 of the barracks were released, allowing for the recruitment of Shield-Maidens and Valkyrie Rangers 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.
