Barracks ... No veterans

[ahenobarb]

I am having a problem with Barracks in a few games I am playing. I keep building barracks (King level), yet I do not produce veterans. Kinda defeats the purpose. Anyone else have this problem?

is it in a scenario?

unless youre city is under such heavy attack's each turn so that the emediatly full healthbar recovery aspect of it is realy usefull.

Well, unlike in civ1, only ground units of normal type are created veterans (no veteran spy, ship or plane this way).

Exactly what type did it fail to produce as veteran?

yes, it does depend on the type, barracks will not produce veteran ships, a port facility does that, and an airport produces veteran air units i think.

And to give a complete list of "how-to-become-veteran": spies are can only became veterans in missions (unless you are in Communism when all spies are created veteran)

Sometimes, if you have extensive plans with spies it is worth to "train" them in relatively low risk missions, like sabotage remote cities, or damaging units, etc.
