Edit: For the second new and decidedly grim building-graphic, released 27.06.14, see Tripi's post here (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/28599-New-Building-on-Facebook-24.06.14?p=261009&viewfull=1#post261009). Cheers for adding. :)
Edit II: 10.07.14 Assorted Generals in new outfits can be seen here (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/28599-New-Building-on-Facebook-24.06.14?p=261586&viewfull=1#post261586) in a screenshot from the Test server.
Chuck Norris training camp. =)
With the training dummy and the target... maybe a training site for new troops.
Ugh, instead of fixing bugs, they're doodling on Fakebook again. :(
Looks like its just replacement artwork for the Masters of Martial Arts garrison.
If you look at the other garrison's artwork It uses the same similar art, training dummy and pot. and target shield.

Nope, nope. It's part of TSO. :)
And all will be revealed in due time, although I do love your guesses sooo much. Chuck Norris one is my favourite tbh. :D
With the oriental look, it's a Samurai Swordsmith :D

Training camp = confirmed... Dunno about Chuck though :P
If it military I'm not interested, I stopped doing adventures the second I hit 50
How about something requested and useful. Provides multiplier for barracks - slider says 25, this building (and say its level is in the works) makes x2...x5 that amount. Pause it and barracks reverts to its 25.
I am hoping this represents the start of some significant new content for us old timers!

Looks oriental, so 250 MMA type general guessing it'll cost exactly 4999 pumpkins

You'd really prefer something that saves a few clicks when you need to make troops than some new interesting content?
Barracks is just a mechanic of playing the game, if there's no game to play then there's no mechanics required.

im wondering if the symbol on the tent stands for medicine, so perhaps herbalist who can make medipacks or something along those lines..

try 'calvin and hobbes wish sandwich' see what comes out
*if you went on test or looked at the game's features lately you'd kind of see the level of skill involved in new content AND wish for something that would work... we are guessing here, the mighty chuck should hinted you in the right direction
**oh, this was on test, barracks was so messed up it was taking n--times the settlers and spitting out 25s
Hey, howd they get a picture of my Harem?
As both current garrison images have cook-pot, training dummy, archery target and tent, I am also guessing this is just a graphic change for MMA garrison.
Would be nice if it was something more though
Why would BB hype up something as minor as a graphic update for garrisons?

they didn't hype anything. they posted it on face book and not on the official website. they've done minor graphics updates in the past to buildings that didn't have unique graphics before.
I disagree, this is exactly what they did for new buildings relating to science skills, they posted pictures on Facebook and invited people to guess what it was. I'd be surprised (and disappointed) if this turned out to be a mere artwork change for the MMA garrison.

Well the grim reaper version posted today more or less confirms it's just a graphics tweak for diff general types

Yup, this one looks like Grim's camp
I quite like this, its about time we got away from the boring traditional looking camps +1 BB loving it

Well. prepared to be disappointed. As the latest posting on their facebook says "new assets for the game". Which translate to new graphics.
Its the new grim reaper general garrison artwork. nothing more. The only possible new thing they can do is introduce us the new generals skill tree to go with the new graphics replacement.
Like I mentioned before. they posted new graphics replacements for a lot of buildings (different levels) in the past.
with the oriental look, it's a samurai swordsmith :d
+1 ;)
or a samurai master general garrison :)
I hope they remember to add a Stronghelmet Garrison

the graphic update for different generals camps is a simple but quite usefull addition to gameplay in the adventures, so jipppieee!
One thing i hope is that we will be able to add numbers to the camps to really differentiate between all generals! (all general camps now have a level shield hovering above with a 1 in it. this would be ideal to give to us to adjust that number,)
I must say that a change of the look of garrisons is good, will be a lot easier to tell the differnt camp apart, hopefully we'll get a graphics change on the MG, VG, BHG, and Stronghelmet too. Those 2 pics I've seen posted here is assumably the MMA, and Grimmy garrisons.
What is stronghelmet? is that the Veteran ?
No, Stronghelmet is like the BHG, it was available from the 1st edition starter pack
The only possible new thing they can do is introduce us the new generals skill tree to go with the new graphics replacement.
Hopefully. That's the only way BB might salvage some dignity from making a big deal about new graphics when the playerbase have made it clear what they REALLY want...

What's wrong in making slight but usefull adjustments to the gameplay by the graphics department, while the debuggers keep on battling the bugs?
Only ones making a big deal of it are players not BB, who just want to do a little tickle on fakebook (love the namejoke somewhere above) to get some respons on these pics.
Nothing wrong with it, but (assuming it's not a larger capacity barracks) previewing it with an air of mystery implying it's a big deal shows that BB either (a) haven't paid the blindest bit of notice to what they players have been asking for or (b) don't care.
I'm not sure which option puts them in the worst light...

Probably a+b
I won't knock BB for doing this as it is a good improvement just wish there was a word of some new gameplay content on the way for us old timers.
w00t, about time they added some more artwork. I was really disappointed when i finally got my VET but could not tell it apart from my normal generals. Now I have MMA, VET, BHG and normal generals and keep wondering why the graphics department don't make individual barracks for them. I love graphics and tinker myself with such things, so its great to finally see something I wanted to see a year ago.
I love the artwork for TSO and these addictions look fantastic too. They should add more stuff like this since its just a simple graphics change. If they keep things the same size and resolution I don't see why they can't easily swap stuff out for individual graphics like this.
Anyways, well done, i love the way they look!

They have finally revealed this building on test, and yes its new garrison looks for every type of generals.
As Faststriker says, here they are snipped from the test server (http://www.tsotesting.com/en/homepage). Generals in their new battle dress(es):
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/uploads/466214251Test_Garrisons_BattleDress2_Numbered.jpg
1. Tavern (dress unchanged)
2. Battle Hardened General
3. Veteran
4. General Log (220 fast gen, showing in the shop, future availability unclear)
5. General Stronghelmet (200 fast gen, showing in the shop, future availability unclear)
6. Major General (in the shop under Epic Items)
7. Master of Martial Arts
When moused over they all currently say "Garrison" as seen above on the Tavern fellow.
A small corner of the large Quartermaster General ("Supply Garrison" - transport only, in the shop under Epic Items) is peeking out at the very top. His already distinctive dress is also unchanged.
The Halloween Grim (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/28599-New-Building-on-Facebook-24.06.14?p=261009&viewfull=1#post261009) is out of season on the Test at the moment.
NB Content on the Test is always "subject to change" before going live.
Until BB say something specific about their future availability it may bear keeping in mind Log and Stronghelmet have so far only been available from retail/starter packs. Edit: It's not clear if they're on the Test now just to try on their new clothes or if they are in fact "Coming Soon".
That said, the current Black Market specialists:
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/uploads/1929542585Test_Merchant_GeneralsAsst.JPG
What a surprise. Now wait to see how many people are angry that BB got their hopes up...
I never expected it to be anything else, so I'm not bothered
Nice but who really cares?
It will be nice to be able to distinguish generals on adventure maps, I personally have been waiting for this for a while, since i got my first BHG in fact. I'm sure many other players will be happy too, as there have been requests for some time about it. Most would have been happy with a mouse over popup, but this is better I think (for me at least).
http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/26711-Different-garrison-graphic-for-each-general-type
I was actually hoping for new gfx on the garrisons and I like the look of the different garrisons :) What I don't like is that Stronghelmet won't be unique anymore as it'll be available in the Merchant (Could only get it in the 1st edition starter pack before over 2,5 years ago). :p

With all the recent back-and-forthing and items/content on the Test appearing/disappearing/reappearing/disappearing again a little caution in expectations seems wise. Edited my previous to reflect that.

I know Iolanthe, I still however wasn't too serious on the Stronghelmet thingy ;) But I still however do love the new gfx for the garrisons :)
:) That was largely me thinking out loud and using your post as a springboard to sort through:
"Oh! Klotz/Log ("Log"? Seriously? I understand it's a direct translation but Log? :rolleyes:) and Stronghelmet! In the shop! After two-ish years!"
"Huh. No change log... new clothes... test server... BB wouldn't add something as large as "exclusive" gem Gens to the live game with no fanfare would they?"
"But... BB wouldn't squeeze them in just for testing purposes without mentioning they wouldn't really be available... would they?"
"Pete's sake... BB would and have done variations of exactly both of those... Probably best to err strongly on the side of caution. Whatever they end up doing."
NB Timeframe of thought process not to scale.
So... I'm hesitant to post this but as the question "Are these Gens actually coming to the live-game shop or are they only on the test to try on their new clothes?" was asked directly in this thread (http://forum.tsotesting.com/threads/20430-New-Generals-(Avatar-BHG-variation)) and the response was that they are indeed not "new" and the change log is now posted here is the Test Server change log:
Changelog for the update on 10-07-2014 (http://forum.tsotesting.com/threads/20431-Changelog-10-07-2014)
Test-server info - July 10th, 2014
Dear Settlers,
Below you will find a list of modifications that were implemented during the maintenance.
• Generals that were previously only Available in Retail boxes are now available in the shop.
• New General skin for the Garissons are added for each type.
• Premium users will recive the correct loot from Adventures.
• Level 5 smelter graphics have been fixed.
I'd comment on the general state of communication throughout the TSO world of late but it's all been said.
If BB don't give Klotz/Log Stromhelmet new garrisons graphics then they can expect complaints from those who already own them. Are BB trying to avoid this. Still it's strange that Grimm has not been made available so that we can see what his garrison is like, or do BB intend to roll his out at Halloween ?

I'd buy a Klotz and a Stronghelmet to add to my collection.
I'd buy them using the gems Ive mined from my gempits.
I would not buy them for gems in a gem sale, as I refuse to spend any more real money on this game in it's current state.
You guys are all jumping the gun here.
Populating The Shop with all items makes it an easy portal for developers to be able to construct accounts with any/all items they require for testing.
To do this the developer just logs into his account on the test server (which has 1 million gems) and buys for himself whatever he wants to test that day. When he is done he just runs a script that resets the account. It's standard practise I would have thought.
You cant conclude that generals will be available for sale on live just because you saw them on test.

I like the new tents, they look cool and they're useful.
Also does bighelmet have another tent than stronghelmet?
And how does this tent look then?
My understanding is stronghelmet = bighelmet and that log = klotz, from what I understand if you have stronghelmet from the retail pack you can still buy bighelmet.
General Log and General Big Helmet, must be lost in translation! Let's hope the garrison artwork is the first stage in the new combat system, after all, you need to see what generals your enemies have on the battlefield!
Bighelmet = Stronghelmet
But I do love that the gfx came alive, much needed imo, much easier to pin pont the gens now :)
My understanding is stronghelmet = bighelmet and that log = klotz, from what I understand if you have stronghelmet from the retail pack you can still buy bighelmet.
That's correct Dorotheus, you can. I can confirm this as I now have 5 Stronghelmet Generals.
