Granary

In the game's words

How to use it

The Granary is a unique African economic building. It is available in the Exploration Age and boosts the food gathering rate of all nearby Villagers. While inexpensive, it also takes a long time to construct.

History

While much of the African continent is incredibly fertile, in many regions the climate conditions – particularly dry heat and humidity – variously make food easily perishable or the subject of fierce competition. Many civilizations erected granaries to store their surplus food and protect it from the climate and raiders alike. A surplus was crucial, as it could be drawn on as a recourse in times of famine and food shortages.
