Build / Barracks
Barracks
Barracks are buildings purpose built to house troops, and so avoids the problem of having to quarter your troops with the general populace.
DDC: 5
Cost: 2GB/Level
Upkeep: 0.1/Level/DT
Effects: Troop maintenance of troops on Garrison status is reduced by 25% per unit if they are stationed in this province during the Maintenance phase.
If mercenaries are quartered in barracks, then the Prosperity penalty for them is cancelled.
Note: Barracks may hold 1 unit of troops per level (Example: A Level 3 barracks (6GB) can hold 3 units).

A unit in garrison status gets a 50% maintenance discount.
A barracks gives a 25% maintenance discount on top of this.
Is the sum of both meant to be additive or multiplicative, do I get a 75% (50%+25%) discount or 62.5% (50% + 0.50%*25%)?
More maths.
Where:
MF = Final maintenance
MB = Base maintenance
G = Garrison discount (0.5 or 50%)
B= Barracks discount (0.25 or 25%)
Additive maintenance.
MF = MB x (1 - (G + B))
Multiplicative maintenance.
MF = MB x (1-G) x (1-B)
And before people ask I'm an auditor by training, hence maths and detail oriented
