Barracks = what men he is building
War Factory= what tanks he is building
Construction Yard = what building he is building

B.T.W, the computer once had 2 war factories right. I got spies into
both of them. One war factory showed he was building a ranger and the
other said a medium tank. Is this a fault or does the computer once
again cheat. If a human plays and has 2 war factories, it simply enables
him to build tanks faster, but not two different ones at the same time.
If you infiltrate a building and when you click on it it doesn't show
anything, then i think this just means he isn't building anything etc,,,

Bye!
