The barracks allows the training of Crusader troops. All units here must be supplied from available peasants and equipment from the armoury, which can be filled by craftsmen from workshops, or the market. In return, Crusader troops are nominally cheaper to hire than mercenaries.

Freshly recruited troops gather at the designated training grounds, unless an assembly point is set. A rally point can be placed to a custom location per troop after pressing the corresponding number key (1-7), which can be reset to the barracks itself.

The barracks itself is made of sturdy stone, rendering it fairly durable against attacks. It can catch on fire however, which will eventually spread, if not extinguished over time, capable of lighting up the entire training grounds from time to time.
