Anno 1404 Captain Richard Bangs speeds up troop training and reduces barracks upkeep by 50% with a balance of +500.
Requirement: Balance is at least +500.
Captain Richard Bangs is invaluable in War, possibly even surpassing Greta in overall usefulness. He causes your troops to train faster and reduces the upkeep cost of Barracks by half, so you can turn an island into a fortress in no time.
His requirement is fairly tough to satisfy, though. You'll need a pretty solid economy to achieve it. But there is a trick you can use - if you've almost got enough to recruit him, briefly stop production on a bunch of your production sites so that your balance is momentarily good enough. Then, start production the moment he joins you, since you don't have to keep that level.
- Temporarily halt production on several production sites to briefly meet the +500 balance requirement if you are close.
- Resume production immediately after recruiting Captain Richard Bangs, as the high balance does not need to be maintained.
