The infantry quarters for all Russian bases, the Barracks are used for final in-the-field training and equipping of newly recruited soldiers, and hold sleeping quarters and an underground infirmary for medical emergencies.
Lore[]
Suvorov gave the lowly Russian grunt a special gift when he reached the post of President; a new, redesigned battlefield quarters. Built in a rather Soviet fashion, it contains enough living quarters to house an entire infantry division; not that those bunks would be used much by the soldiers anyways. Not only it can be constructed in a short time, it has more than acceptable living conditions for the troops that live inside its walls. There is also an easy to access recruitment station normally open for 24 hours a day accepting anyone bold enough to make a difference. New recruits are hastily introduced to basic training through high definition video and are given a weapon and uniform. Given the extremely low life expectancy of conscripts in the frontline, it is unknown what makes them so eager to fight.
Overview[]
Like all Barracks, the The Russian Barracks is one of a building that are available by default, unlike in the vanilla Generals and Zero Hour, it is encouraged to build this structure first, so that the comrade general can train some basic infantry such as Conscripts, RPG Conscripts and IGLA Troopers to scout the surrounding area and capture Tech buildings as soon as possible.
All Russian infantry units have passive ability Camaraderie. When a friendly Russian infantry is killed, friendly infantry in a radius of 90 around the killed infantry fight harder by gaining a 10% bonus to their firepower and a 20% bonus to their firing rate for 10 seconds.
