In this guide we will take a look at how the number of barracks affects the build time of units. We will go up a total of 3 barracks for each unit type.
It is worth noting that it's much more efficient to have sufficient power and less barracks, than more barracks and less power. We found in testing that four barracks with low power was much much slower than even two barracks with sufficient power, so make sure that you keep your power at comfortable levels throughout, and don't add more barracks at the cost of power as you will suffer the consequences!
