Learn about the Barracks in Dungeon Keeper, including its cost (125 gold), research value (12000), and how it attracts Orcs.

The Barracks in Dungeon Keeper serve two primary functions. Firstly, they are essential for attracting the valuable working creatures known as Orcs. Secondly, Barracks allow you to group your creatures together. To do this, place all the creatures you wish to group into the Barracks, then use the "Possess" (a spell that makes creatures follow you) ability on the leading creature. All other creatures within the Barracks will then follow you until they perish or you cancel the "Possess" spell. Once the spell is cancelled, they will return to their previous tasks. Note that natural enemies will not group together, and the Horned Reaper will not participate in group formations.

Tips
  • Use the "B" shortcut key to quickly access Barracks building options.
  • Remember that natural enemies will never group together.
  • The Horned Reaper cannot be included in creature groups.
