I continually get stopped from doing the quest tasks when it asks for troop or units. It would be nice if there was an either/or situation so that those of us who don't have armories can continue the quest.
Thanks!
You can add more armories temporarily for events.
The thing is if you go full pacifist, then you have more space than other players for factories. This gives you an advantage in the event quests that ask for factory productions.
Fighters never get a choice like "produce wooden planks 10x
or produce 500 archers"
The game and events are set up around "normal" balanced play.
If you scout way too much and clear 222 provinces before you onlock orcs, you get stuck.
If you don't want to build a barracks, you get stuck.
There is some allowance for variation of strategy, but if you go way off the beaten path there will be disadvantages to go with the advantages.
