| Posted : Saturday, 17 October 2009 - 22:20 True that cat is deployed from a barrack, but apparently, it is able to move into it to gain that +1 range. Since it shouldn't/can't move into an outpost or tower, why is it able to move into a barrack? |

If you want to use that one extra hex of range you get from a barracks, you still have to pay 10k gold to build one... at least it ain't easy to use this. |

| Posted : Tuesday, 20 October 2009 - 13:08 Just a point, a barrack will only ever cost a max of 9500....as long as you have a tech spare.
The reason is, you buy the building tech for 2000 which reduces the price of all buildings by 25%
2000 tech
7500 barrack

| Posted : Tuesday, 27 October 2009 - 04:39 Cats do get a +1 range from drawbridges, though. That should definitely be fixed. | | SIMONSAYSDIE Joined 29/11/2008

| Posted : Tuesday, 27 October 2009 - 11:01 to get technical about it... a drawbridge should only be allowed in a castle...and they shouldn't add range...otherwise they will be used as towers for cat and bali...but cats and bali should be allowed to pass through them... | | Hambone Joined 27/12/2008

Hambone, that's a brilliant idea though - moat building!
Imagine if you could put a hex of deep water all the way round your castle (except for the road areas of course).... | | Mog DoCJoined 5/02/2004
