Barracks

Add a barracks to your settlement to train melee-based soldiers. As your settlement grows (and required government structures are built), construct the next type of barracks to train even more powerful types of melee-based infantry to add to your town’s defense or to your mobilized army. The barracks can train different types of infantry depending on pre-Marius (pm) or after Marius (am) reform.

Building	City Level	Benefits
Barracks	Town	Enables training of town watch.
Militia Barracks	Large Town	Enables training of hastati (pm) or auxilia (am)
Legion Barracks	Minor City	Enables training of principes (pm) or early legionary cohort (am)
Army Barracks	Large City	Enables training of triarii (pm) or legionary cohort (am)
Urban Barracks	Huge City	Enables training of urban cohort

Stables

Stables train cavalry but also provide benefits to public order with the availability of races in the hippodrome and circus maximus structures.

Construct a stable in your settlement to produce cavalry units for addition in your armies. As your settlement grows, construct the next type of stable to train even stronger types of cavalry in both pre-Marius and after Marius reform conditions. The stable is also the prerequisite for the wardog and incendiary pig unit types (used to strike fear into enemy soldiers as well as tough-to-battle elephants). Note that the Hippodrome and Circus Maximus stables also allow races to be held, which aid in increasing your settlement’s public order due to happiness--increase race frequency (though at a cost) to increase settlement happiness.

Building	City Level	Benefits
Stables	Large Town	Enables training of wardogs and equites (pm) and roman cavalry (am)
Cavalry Stables	Minor City	Enables training of cavalry auxilia (pm) and roman cavalry (am)
Hippodrome	Large City	Enables training of legionary cavalry and incendiary pigs. Allows races to be held.
Circus Maximus	Huge City	Enables training of praetorian cavalry. Allows races to be held.

Missiles

The missile line of settlement structures enables the training of ranged-units. Like barracks and stables, as your settlement grows, construct new ranges to add stronger ranged-based soldiers (both pre- and post-Marius reform additions). Also, once you reach the Archery Range and above you can begin to produce siege weaponry beginning with the ballista.

Building	City Level	Benefits
Practice Range	Large Town	Enables training of velites (pm) and light auxilia (am)
Archery Range	Minor City	Enables training of roman archers (pm) or archer auxilia (am) and ballistas
Catapult Range	Large City	Enables training of scorpions and onagers.
Siege Engineer	Huge City	Enables training of heavy onagers and repeating ballistas.
