What good is the Armoury?

**caralampio** · August 18, 2009, 08:49 AM

I mean the advanced barracks, not the armourer. At least as the Orc it doesn't seem to give me any new units or practical benefits. It is very expensive and I don't know if I should build it.

Perhaps gunpowder units in the future?

Atm it has no real sense. I think as Gondor you can recruit Dismounted Swan Knights but only in Dol Amroth.

Gunpower its Lord of the rings

You can build olog-hai in advanced baracks...So its pretty usefull for some factions.

Even if an advanced barracks doesn't allow you to always recruit higher/new units, I believe it speeds up the rate at which you can recruit units (turns until next unit / and unit pool) afaik.

Exactly, plus giving them experience also. Not a bad thing, but if you prefer weaker units, it's up to you

Yeah, it's faction dependent. For Rhun, the advanced barracks gives you the Loke-rim infantry and with Isengard you get Berserkers. Those are the only two I know from experience, but you could probably find all of them in the Palantir or Royal Military Academy.

I think the Orc Advanced Barracks is bugged, if you build it, it doesn't let you recruit any more of the armored halberd / soldier guys. I built it and saw my unit build list was empty of melee, had to demolish it and build the first 3 tiers of barracks all over again

Same I also need to destroy baracks to build trolls

Aye, I just discovered that. Serious bug! Surely some typo or oversight in descr_buildings...

**caralampio** · August 18, 2009, 07:56 PM

I found the problem. I posted it Here.

**Beregond** · August 18, 2009, 11:17 AM

but olog-hai are now recruitable only in mountain regions,so may be you should build the last tier barracs only in mountain settlements

well to check a unit or building´s abilities, right click on them.

as for armories... i cant really tell what they do. though i think that it has to do with the prequisite for constructing more advanced buildings.
