Civilization II Hints
Barracks
Barracks are important for most cities at the lower levels, but at higher difficulty levels, other projects may take priority for a while. Due to the fact that they expire a couple of times during the game, you may want to consider putting off building them until after the discovery of Gunpowder. Personally, I would not do that, but instead just build them in the cities where you are producing most of your military units (veteran status) and build them in cities which are attacked often or on the front lines of your wars so that you can keep your units repaired and ready for battle. Please note that Sun Tzu's War Academy does not act as barracks in every city. It does half of that; it allows the production of veteran units in all your cities, but it does not allow one turn repair to damaged units as barracks do.
