Recruitment, training + equiping in Provinces/Regions... Do we only need one building?

[Conan's Might]

Hey guys, Just about got my head around the building system in RTWII just a quick question - Do you only need one recruitment, training + equiping centre per province to be able to recruit units throughout that province? Thanks

[Joe_Chip]

Yes. Even though you need 2 "equipping" buildings if you want both the best armours and weapons. Plus there is always the siege workshop.

[SKSlave]

You are correct. One barracks serves the entire province, not just the region. I like to put a manipular barracks and an auxiliary barracks in to get the maximum amount of units!

How about other building with bonus that buff % of money from a certain type of building? Do they effect a whole province too?

[karamazovmm]

Yes, its recommend to also build the training camp, if you can build the 4 of them + barracks + any buffing temple for morale... you have superman army

after that designate another province for armour + weapons upgrade

you can view that info from the details and hovering over the city name, from what I observed it applies to all the province

You have to remember tah the weapons upgrades works only on male weapons so it will not upgrade archers only there male skill???, this is the first Total war that made that whay, don't now why you can't upgrade your bow damage, and only your male damage on archers...

[Jimbojones33]

What about sacred ground buildings?

[craziii]

4 buildings. main building, missile building for better and more varied range units, siege workshop, and armory or weapon work shop(you can build all of these within a 4 settlement province but you just have no room for anything else).

[SKSlave]

A question related to this. Does putting more than one barracks in a province increase the amount of units I can recruit per turn?

[craziii]

nope, i wish it did. your idea is great.

[karamazovmm]

I do think one of the higher lvld barracks does add more training slots, if I remember correctly 1, now to test that

crazii why don't you put those training grounds? they add quite the buff for the units and if I remember correctly its only applied at the recruitment time that would be more beneficial, specially given that to concentrate a lot of squalor producing buildings is terribad

[tenryu]

There are also "general" traits/buffs that alow the units recuited by them( the buffed general) to get levels to get free levels at time of recruitment. It's a bit of a PITA because you have to move your, usually " best general back to your recuiting province , but probably worth it if he buffs the recuits a couple of levels. Maybe, not sure, as depends on how bad you need him elsewhere.

[tenryu]

grrr , no editing, and I'm now drunk. Add "r" after all the "c"s in recuited(sic)

Be careful putting all your training/army facilities in one province though; on higher difficulties you're going to get serious happiness problems. It's good to invest in happiness tech/buildings to counter the public order loss. Quite frankly it won't fit if you want it to balance.

Have one province with army training camps and recruitment. Have another for weapons/armor upgrade. It will cost more; aka, you have to recruit them in one province then send them to the next province for upgrade (and costing 1350 bucks for level 3 weapons/armor in one go PER soldier), but by that time money shouldn't be a problem (I'm pulling in 30K per turn in my current campaign). Doing it this way; you will have space for happiness buildings or perhaps even extra.

[craziii]

@karama, I consider them to be the same as workshops. instead of adding armor or better weps, you get morale or stat boosts.

[karamazovmm]

yeah, but you can add armour latter, but not that, and those stats are a killer

Im currently trying to mix and match hellas to become the ultimate troop producer So far its working, I have the barracks + melee offensive + melee defensive + horse + ares temple, I had to invest everything on happiness generation though

The best option is to have one province focus just on the regular soldiers with perhaps a training camp. Then have the province next door focus just on siege weapons or armorers and just have the army head there to upgrade before moving on.

[craziii]

um I was just answering op's question of the types of military buildings, not what he should build. but thanks for the info anyway

[karamazovmm]

currently I revised the build

hellas has melee defence+attack+barracks
macedon has range+auxilia barracks+weapons smith
tracia has cavalry+ranch+armour smith+barracks

I can get all the necessary happiness buildings, because unfortunately health buildings are useless against squalor

all upgraded to the max and churning out troops

the armies are going to be fluffy paws, fluffy bunny ears, fluffy tail, fluffy kitty, fluffy kitty ears and the elite army is going to be fluffy the terrible

fluffiness shall doom the world!
