    Default Wharehouse

    sure when you start out a wharehouse or 2 may be usefull , although i only ever make 1 and it gets blown up as soon as my stockpile gets to lv9. but otherwise they are just useless!

    what i think might be a great idear is to drastically increase the capacity of the wharehouse to a point where it becomes a real option for an advanced player to use a wharehouse or 2 in his/her city/s, and even building a wharehouse city would become a real option rather than something that is just laughed at.

    maybe i'm just talking rubbish?? (i'm sure i will get told) but would this not add something new to the game which would not take a lot of work to achieve? if a lv10 wharehouse with lv10 stockpile stored 20 million units surely people would make citys filled with wharehouses and fill them with res and these citys would then be very sought after prizes of war. Sure there is lv10 privateering but that only lets you plunder 30% of whats inside a wharehouse, and which is why i think some tastey wars would be fought over a wharehouse city as the best way to get the res inside would be to take the city.

    This is just a thought i had while drinking my morning tea, please pipe up with your thoughts and tell me what you think.

    Its not a terrible idea, but many will complain simply for fact warehouse has been useless to this point, aside from raising up stockpile. However having said that, not sure i would really want people making cities just to "horde" resources. Although i DO agree warehouses espically at higher levels should have more capacity, cause quite frankly its completely useless aside from research as already stated. But to be honest, even if it held more, barracks is still far more important to me, no one going to get my resources if i have more troops.

    I liken this concept to other war games where, in the beginning, you protect your excess resources while you're out plundering other players with the troops you have. Primarily, it would help to prevent you from becoming a farm for someone else. Then, there would actually be an active use for the building other than to raise a research tech.

    It seems odd to me that it would even be in the game if all it did was allow other building/researching -- kindof like the stable. So, I'm inclined to believe that these items exist for more practical reasons that were not executed in the programming of the game. But, they might be later.

    To that end, it would have to hold more and it wouldn't be uncommon for someone to have more than one warehouse early on.

    Stable is SUPPOSED to speed up troop building, but according to evony its working as intended (doesnt work at all in other words) I do not know if it worked on first 100 servers, as i didnt play that far back, but its not worked as intended as far as i can recall. From what ive heard they have no intent to change it either.

    That's what I mean... things seem like they had a purpose but are "unfinished," if you will.

    I only use the warehouse in the beginning of your evony career, but after that you don't need it . just takes up room you could use for Barracks.

    this is my whole point.......i did say that it is useless, but my thinking was that if the capacity of the warehouse was considerably raised then it would play a larger role in the game.

    You can't find a fair number the warehouse should store. It will provide a epic advantage in the start of the game and eventually it will become useless later on.
    Although I do believe the warehouse should be given new powers just like the workshop has been given new powers in age II.
