Can we build a rax, destroy it and then later in the game build a stable?  Must all of one type of unit be destroyed before we do this?

No, you can only use one during the whole game.

Jerom you can use forts but you cannot use the units you do not have the building for. And yes you can merc spam.

musk wars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this will get boring tho, since anyone who turtles up correctly gets really hard to beat. Imagine a russia player spamming forts and blockhouses with instant musks?

No artillery, no cav to raid vills will make me very sad panda.
