Assigning Barracks to units
Can we assign Barracks to units so that after the battle they get reserved in the respective barracks rather than settling in some random barracks....

I am not sure I have good information to weigh in on this, perhaps I can add my two cents to spur the conversation more, because I honestly don't know for sure.moin wrote:Can we assign Barracks to units so that after the battle they get reserved in the respective barracks rather than settling in some random barracks....
1. I know that you can set unit delivery points from your fabs and barracks, and rally points from your barracks.
2. I know that you or the minister can place units in reserve status as long as there is clear pathing to a barrack.
a. There may be issues with enemy units positioned close to the closest barrack that may factor in to the pathing choice.
b. There may also be supply issues with the nearest barrack that could affect pathing choice.
3. I have noticed that when a large group of units are ordered into reserve status, that some will decide to route to separate barracks that don't appear to be closer or easier to reach. I suspect that this might be attributed to other units clogging choke points and how the AI determines which path and destination is best. I am not aware of any maximum number of units that can be stored in one barrack, although it may appear that way.
I would not mind knowing exactly how the choice is made, but if I ever have issues I just order the unit/units to move to the barracks I choose and then order them into reserve status. This appears to rebase them from that point, like you do with air units.

It help some, thanx. But the game shoulbe clearer, like forexample the units designation should mention wich barack it belongs to. And ofcource a possibility to change their home adres so to speak.

It doesn't "belong to" a barracks. It will go wherever is closest if needed. Air units track a "home base" because it determines their range. Land/Sea don't.
