10,000
Special Ability: Stores resources
Value: 0.30

Storehouses are somehwat like a small town hall. Although they cannot train peasants, they are able to store the resources that the town hall is able to. Storehouses can be used when a player wants their peasant’s travel time between resources and a dropoff site (townhall) to be decreased.

Special Ability: Trade resources
Value: 5.00

Markets are useful buildings. They allow a player to trade any surplus resources for another. But any time resources are traded, their cost changes. It is similar to the stock market. For example, when gold is traded for stone, the price of stone will decrease, whereas the price of gold will increase. It is not vital for a market to be used in a nation, but it is useful to get rid of extra resources for resources a player needs.


Shipyard

Cost: 1,700 Wood, 1,100 Stone, 500 Iron
Hit points:
65,000
Special Ability: Builds ships
Value: 5.00

Economically, shipyards are somewhat useful. The only economic function they have is to build boats. Boats gather fish from the sea and drop of the food at the shipyard, where it can be used. Although shipyards only take in food, they take in alot of food. Boats gather food very fast, considerably faster than a peasant gathers food from a farm. Shipyards used economically are not extremely important, but they can give a player that uses them a big advantage against a player that doesn’t.
