There seems to be a consensus by players that embassies should not have a limit, as well as stables, barracks and others.

I couldn't find the part that this was discussed, but I remember that @Nescio (maybe he remembers where it was discus) commented on that too, and that he doesn't understand why the limit of embassies

tnx!!!
Although there were many other discussions about this mercenaries cost / embassys

Agree.
Semi related: Persians and Mauryans have their hero buildings limited to 1, which also limits the champions trained within those buildings and makes them an unrealistic unit choice.

That forum post seems to be converging into building an embassy unlocking those units in the barracks?

While I'm in favour of removing the number limit, I wonder whether a building distance requirement should be added instead (cf. army camp, military colony), considering mercenary camps can be built in neutral territory too.
Comment Actions
Only kushites can build in neutral territory, adding distance requirement would be bad to carthage for example. Even if carthage could build in neutral territory, I don’t think it would be interesting.
Comment Actions
Interesting for a future patch for carthage. Anyway this limit also reaches kushite.

Feels like a good change, I agree that the "embassy makes units available" might be more interesting but can be done later.
