Barracks (Age of Empires III)

Similar to the two previous games, but the Barracks can only be built from the Colonial Age¹� onwards, like the Age of Mythology. Also comes with extra units depending on the civilization:


 * Colonial Age - Crossbowmen
 * Colonial Age - Longbowman (British)
 * Colonial Age - Pikemen²
 * Colonial Age - Rodelero (Spanish)
 * Colonial Age - Strelet (Russian)
 * Colonial Age - Musketeer³
 * Colonial Age - Janissary (Ottoman, their only infantry)
 * Colonial Age - Doppelsoldner (German)
 * Fortress Age - Halberdier²
 * Fortress Age - Skirmisher³

There are also technologies that allow some native tribes to be trained from the barracks (such as Iroquois League), and the Russians Can get a special card (Blockhouse Cannon) that allows them to train (but not upgrade) Falconets and Mortars from the Blockhouse.

¹ The Russians, having their Blockhouse as their Outpost also, get to build these in the Discovery Age. However, they cannot train military until the Colonial Age.

² Pikemen, Halberdiers and even Crossbowmen availability depends on the civilization. For example, the Spanish don't get Halberds, and the Russians no Pikemen or Crossbows.

³ Again, Musketeer/Skirmisher Availability may depend on the civilization. Germans and Dutch don't get Musketeers, Russians don't get Skirmishers (unless you count Strelets), and to counter this lack of firepower the Dutch get Skirmishers an Age before anyone else, and Germans get Doppelsoldners.

Also, you can train units faster by selecting multiple Barracks while you train soldiers.
