ok, so i took over this guys castle, and he didnt have any upgrades on his barracks, but they both had an advanced level melee troop. not only that, but it wasnt in addition to the 4 that barracks start off with, it was the 4th troop type period. one of the barracks was this:
Spearmen : 7
Swordsmen : 99
Commandeers : 0
Squires : 4

and the other one had scouts pikemen instead of squires, and scouts instead of one of hte other norms. does anybody know what this is about? it was fudelan in slow 14 whos castle i took over

if you take over a castle a part of the troops in the barracks inside the castle belong to you then. the upgrades the other player made are lost though. so the barrack has no more upgrades after you took it over.
do you understand what i mean?

really? wow...i thought that when itook over barracks before, the upgrades were there...infact i am pretty sure they are...even if they arent though, for an advanced level troop type to exist, there are usually the 4 starting ones are there first, whether there are any of that troop type or not. example: comms in this baracks. u see how scouts are not in that list? when an upgrade is made, you add a troop to the list that is already there. not replace it with an unrelated type. this is what i would like to understand, is there a way to pick troop types before with an advacned one or something?

was it a 3rd barrack? or maybe a barrack got destoryed or he accidentaly demolished it and rebuilt it.
