Updated buildings.

Can you have a stable and a barrack in all settlements?
Or just one each?
Or maybe 1 stable for every 4-5 barracks you have.

I must ponder on that issue.

There should be no forced relationship between barracks and stables - some people might want a cavalry-focused army.

Agreed.

Also some people might want equestrianism and horse husbandry for non military purposes. Logistics and transport for example.

What I really want to know is if I can have a temple with an adjoining barracks. My religion has a martial component.

You could build a temple and a barrack in the same settlement.

You can build 1 cavalry/chariotry/camelry unit for every 5 settlements you have. Cities do not count.

If you are a pastoral culture without agriculture, you can build one in every settlement.

Why the arbitrary limitation?

Also, if you have a barracks in a settlement you cannot build a stable there.

Why?

Cavalry was more expensive in the real world. It is hard to count micro costs, so the rules seem arbitrary in order to simulate real world conditions. An army most often would contain less cavalry than infantry.

I want you to have a fun game, but one of the in-built problems of last Amauvala was that there weren't enough limiting effects. There needs to be some mechanics that are retarding.

While we're here, why does the "one military building per settlement" rule apply to cities? Shouldn't it be "one military building per X population units in a city?"

Thanks. You've just given me a raison de étre to go stomping my neighbouring tribes.

I have sufficient settlements for 1 chariotry unit but want more.

i was wondering there is no mention of government buildings and legal buildings. When can these be built?
