What are Resource Buildings for?
Resource buildings all manage different aspects of your Resource production and accumulation. The more Resource buildings you have and the higher their upgrade levels, the more Resources you can produce, accumulate, and spend on your war effort. You will need a mix of every Resource for Stronghold development and Unit production.Each Resource Building has an internal storage. While your resources will never stop accumulating, you may increase your resource flow by frequently clicking on your Resource Buildings to move Resources to your Storehouse.
Upgrading your Alehouses allows you to accumulate and store more Fire Ale. A maximum of 3 Alehouses are permitted. Mushroom and Fish production is limited by the capacity of your Storehouses. Upgrading the Storehouses allows you to accumulate and store more Resources. A maximum of 3 Storehouses are permitted.
