Desc: The Barracks is, at the first stage of the game, your only way to create units. It remains a very important building throughout the game, and is an essential part of any city with a military bent.
Use: In the first Era, it can produce Militia and Bowmen. The second Era upgrades these to Short Swordsmen and Archers, and allows you to build Spearmen. The third era sees you training Long Swordsmen and Improved Archers, as well as Pikemen. The final era allows you to create Champions, Champion Archers, and Halberdiers.
Cost (approx.): 200 Wood, 150 Stone, 250 Gold.

Notes on Vital Statistics: Armor:
Pierce armor covers arrow and spear weapons. This covers the pierce attack of fire arrows and ballista bolts, but not the fire damage from fire arrows, nor the crush damage of ballista bolts.
Slash armor includes swords of all types.
Crush armor deals especially with siege weapons.
Fire armor deals with Fire Arrows and spreading fires.
That's a very nice looking building. :)
if i tried to make that the finished product would be like a blob of crap
Very nice. It's fun how you create awesome graphics, but your way to crop areas of screenshots in Paint looks horrible :P
I wasn't trying to make the image pretty so much as hide things I'm saving for other blog posts (Ex. a catapult and my new textured house models)
By the way, all my new building models are culling-enabled… which means that they will run ~twice as fast as previous models. This means larger cities and better graphics overall.Cool building!
