Barrack

The Barrack is a unique housing building for the faction and is the only housing option unlocked at the beginning of a game. It is a two-story structure with a 3x2 tile footprint and an entrance on the ground level. Building a barrack costs 40 and provides housing for 10 inhabitants.

A larger variant, the Large Barrack, is a faction-unique building that occupies a 3x3 tile area. The Large Barrack must be unlocked with a one-time cost of 400 and costs 70 to construct. Because of its larger size and higher costs, the Large Barrack increases housing capacity by 60% compared to the standard Barrack, yielding a total housing of 16.

• Barracks are the baseline early-game communal housing option and are available immediately without prior unlocks.
• The Barrack’s 3x2 footprint makes it compact and suitable for tight layouts; the ground-level entrance simplifies pathing and access for settlers.
• The Large Barrack’s 3x3 footprint requires more planning for placement but significantly increases per-building housing efficiency (16 total residents).
• Consider replacing multiple small housing buildings with a Large Barrack where space and unlock resources allow, since the Large Barrack offers higher total capacity per building footprint.
• Construction costs and unlock requirements are fixed values: a Barrack costs 40 to build and houses 10; the Large Barrack requires 400 to unlock and costs 70 to build, housing 16.
