Build time and upgrade cost by level

Every upgrade to Barracks costs food, wood, stone and iron in a fixed 1 : 0.8 : 0.5 : 0.4 ratio, and takes a time derived from this plot's own base of 6 seconds. The curve has two phases: it climbs gently to level 26 — the end of the opening ramp, which the whole early game is paced around — and compounds harder above it, so the summit costs a real hoard as well as real patience.

Troop tiers unlocked by the Barracks

A training building unlocks one new troop tier every three of its own levels, and the Keep caps how high it may go — which is why raising the Keep and raising the yard are the same build order in practice. Infantry start at 10 attack, 14 defense and 30 health at tier 1, and every tier multiplies all three by 1.25.

Barracks: the building level each infantry tier becomes trainable at, with that tier's unit stats.
Tier	Rank	Building level	Attack	Defense	Health	Load	Power
T1	Levy	1	10	14	30	20	4
T2	Footman	4	13	18	38	25	5
