I just noticed today that requirements for this technology is level 10 storehouse. I've demolished storehouses in practically all my big cities. I'm extremely annoyed by this requirement. Couldn't it just be level 1 warehouse....

Bona, the larger and more militarily oriented players in my alliance are also rather miffed about this requirement. Since I grow like a turtle, I still have all my storehouses, but I can understand how they feel.

Same, Storehouse is not a end game building, and that is what this feature is for

I guess this in theory lets new players or players with new cities equip their armies there sooner than if they had to wait to get a warehouse, but since the research itself takes 3 days it is not something that is going to commend itself to a new player anyway.
I don't see any logical reason for the storehouse to be a prerequisite, other than to make the research appear where the devs wanted it to on the research tree (since the research tree appearance is based on the prereqs).
If you made the storehouse a prereq just to make the research tree look nice, then you need to seriously rethink the automatic layout of the tree. Because this does affect gameplay for some people.
Making things more complex to add depth is a good thing. Making things complicated for no reason (or just to make coding easier) is not so much.
Hopefully there is some other really logical reason for this requirement that will be apparent to everyone soon(tm).

This update was obviously planned for people with storehouses, AKA newer players who don't have legendary cities. However, as people in this thread say, it puts a spoke in the wheel of players who do have legendary cities. I propose that the requirement for a storehouse should be lifted for all legendary cities that were legendary before the update.

New releases have always required the storehouse. Don't demolish them, it's bad policy.

What does that mean? Researching Inventory Management enables the Warehouse. If you "needed" a lvl 15 storehouse to build a warehouse then every exodus should destroy the warehouse. I've got lot's of exodused cities with lvl 12 storehouse and lvl 20 warehouse.
