Military Buildings

  • What are Military Buildings for?
    Your military buildings are where you produce, manage, and deploy all of your units. Each Unit or set of Units is produced at its own building, and construction of some buildings is a prerequisite for signing certain Agreements or building more advanced military buildings. Military Buildings are non-upgradeable, but you can update their required Agreements to improve the Unit performance statistics of the units they train.

    There are four main tabs in each Military building: Light Infantry, Heavy Infantry, Phalanx Units, and Cavalry. Production Queue allows you to view your current Unit production queues. Use Drachmas to instantly complete a production line in a queue, or purchase them directly with Drachmas at the Market.

    To construct a Military Building do as follows:
    1. Go to your City and click "Construction".
    2. Open the "Military" tab and find the building you need.
    3. Click "Build".
    4. Choose a place in your City and start building.
