Lords Mobile is a game of strategy, and a big part of that is managing your turf. You've got to build, upgrade, and train your troops to be the best. But how many of each building should you have? Specifically, how many barracks should you build in Lords Mobile?

The short answer is there's no magic number. You can build as many barracks as you want, but the total number of Barracks, Infirmaries, and Manors can't be more than 17. So, the real question is about finding the right balance for your playstyle.

Finding Your Barracks Balance

When I first started playing, I made the mistake of building way too many barracks. I thought a bigger army meant I was stronger. And while that's partly true, I quickly realized I couldn't keep up with training costs and my resources were always low. My might looked impressive, but my actual power was lacking. I learned the hard way that a smaller, well-trained army is much better than a huge, weak one.

The best approach is to start with 2-3 barracks. This gives you a good training speed without draining your resources. As you level up and your resource production increases, you can start to add more. A good rule of thumb is to have enough barracks to continuously train troops without queuing them up for too long. I currently run with 5 barracks, which feels like a sweet spot for my playstyle. It lets me train a steady stream of troops for both attacking and defending my turf.

A good balance for a beginner is:

• 2-3 Barracks: For training your troops.
• 8-10 Manors: To increase your gold production, which is crucial for training.
• 5-7 Infirmaries: To heal your wounded troops.

This setup gives you a solid foundation to build upon. As you grow, you can adjust these numbers to fit your needs. Are you an aggressive player who's always attacking? You might want more barracks. Are you a more defensive player? Then more infirmaries might be the way to go. It's all about experimenting and finding what works for you.
