I know this is on the Big List somewhere, but I think I've come up with a new way to do it.
In a way similar to how the workshop becomes the factory, the level 2 barracks would become the Military Academy, once you have a level 2 barracks, you can upgrade it to a Military Academy, which will allow that province to produce a new type of infantry unit, at the cost of recruitment speed(the same speed as a normal recuitment office) the elite infantry(letting players name this branch of their infantry would be cool, like "Marines, or "Swiss Guards" or whatever) The Military Academy can be upgraded to level two, allowing for faster recruitment. (equivelent to a level 1 barracks), then (maybe) level three, which will allow for full speed recruitment of elite infantry(same as a level 2 barracks) The elite infantry would have to be fairly stronger than normal in order to make it worth it.
The Military Academy would not use more grain, but more money and fish(these elite troops expect some protein in their diets) which will finally make fish a useful resource.
They would still be recruited in 1000 man regiments.
What do you guys think?
