Barracks or Houses?
There is discussion whether to have more barracks and less houses or more houses and less barracks. I decided to put it to a test. Town had 5 L19 barracks and 9 L17 houses. I checked how long it would take to train 4500 Tier 1 troops with the 5 barracks. I used 4500 as that was the maximum that 4 barracks could do at L19.
I then replaced one barrack with a L17 house and checked the time needed to train the same number of troops. The time savings was a meager 6% of the duration. This doesn't make sense as each house is supposedly giving 1% per level speed increase, i.e. duration reduction. The time savings should have been around 17% I would think.
I would welcome any thoughts or evidence to help decide which is better. At the moment, I think that the house have a slight edge and besides, they produce silver as well while the barracks don't produce anything.
