Storehouse

Economic

An essential helper for the economy that doesn't shine, but without it, your produced resources disappear for nothing - build and upgrade it exactly according to how much material you are actually collecting.

Quick overview

CategoryEconomic
Max level9
Size5×10
PriorityMedium priority

The warehouse increases your capacity for wood and stone. Without it, your resources will simply disappear once you hit the limit - anything produced beyond that falls into the void, and you lose it. It does not produce anything itself nor does it prevent anything; it is purely a "bucket" for materials. Boring building? Maybe, but when you're preparing for a large construction or upgrade that will consume thousands of resources at once, you'll appreciate having a place to store them in advance.

When to build it

Build it as soon as your production regularly hits the limit and produced resources start to disappear - that's a clear sign that it's time. At the very beginning, while you have nothing to store, it's not a priority. However, once you start farming and go for large buildings, move it up the list. With a size of 5×10, it takes up a significant space, so think ahead about where you will place it in your castle so it doesn't block other buildings.

Is it worth upgrading?

Upgrading is worthwhile, but at the pace your production and resource consumption grow. There's no point in pushing the warehouse to max level 9 when you only need half the capacity - each upgrade costs you materials and time that you would rather invest elsewhere. Always raise the level just a step ahead of hitting the limit. Save higher levels for later in the game when you're managing really large volumes, and big upgrades will consume everything you stockpile.

Pro player tipKeep the capacity just a bit above what you actually need for your largest planned construction or upgrade - this way, you won't drown resources into unnecessary levels and nothing will go to waste. Before a longer break (overnight), check that you have enough space so that your production and collection from farms don't go to waste. Consider the warehouse as support for the entire economy, not as a building where you blindly dump resources.
Common mistakeThe most common mistake is to completely ignore the warehouse and wonder why production isn't yielding anything - produced resources quietly disappear once the limit is reached. The second extreme is the opposite: a player unnecessarily pushes the warehouse too high "in reserve" and drowns in upgrades materials and time that they won't use for years because they don't actually need such a large capacity. Plus, watch out for placement - due to the size of 5×10, people unnecessarily disrupt their castle layout.
