 Topic: vaults and storehouse
Posted: 12 Apr 2010 at 23:39 |
My lvl 3 vault can protect up to 2500 of each resource inside of it. My lvl 5 storehouse can store 2142 of each type of resource. Yet my resources max out at 2142. Can someone explain to me how this works?

The vault is protection from a raiding army. The storehouse is your storage capacity in the city.
The way I think of these two things is that all of my resources are stored in the storehouse - and later the warehouse - but when an attacking army is spied on the horizon the resources are moved to the vault for protection. The vault is not for long-term storage of resources...
Hope this helps...

the way i see it is, my vault at level 3 can hold a lot more resources than my lvl 5 store house, and my mayor must be an idiot to not realize that hey, we have all this extra room to keep these resources

if a vault can hold more resources than a storehouse, why build a storehouse to begin with? it just seems to me ass backwards

or add that capacity of the store house and the vault to get your total amount of rseources you can have

I think you need both. Maybe I am misunderstanding. The Storehouse is required first to hold resources. The Vault only protects the resources from theft. I imagine my Quartermaster moving goods from the Storehouse to the Vault when bad guys appear. I also imagine the Women and Children hunker down in the Vault, too.

You definitely need both. My Storehouse Lvl 4 can hold 1647/resource. My Vault Lvl 3 can hold 2500 resources. I maxed out production at 1647, not 2500. So the Vault can not hold over flow from the Storehouse.

the ratio is high for the vault at lower lvls, but low at higher lvls. the ratio for the storehouse is low at lower lvls but high at higher lvls. (ratios being amount increased per lvl)

An observation re: Vaults.
I just had a hostile army hit my city and I had gold in excess of my vault limit. I expected that I would lose the gold to the enemy army,
But the After Action Report said the enemy took nothing cuz it was all under lock & key - which is incorrect if the vault description is correct.
And my gold count appears to be unchanged.
This surprised me. I won't ask how this might have happened cuz Fuzzy Wuzzy will just get up in my grill and try to flame me some more. But
I thought other noobs might be interested.

Armies cannot take gold. The only units that can get gold are advanced thief units. (and no i have no idea why they cannot)
