Food - Stronghold 3 Building

Granary

Cost: N/A

This essential structure is where your food is stored.  Only one granary can be built, and it holds an infinite quantity of food. By looking at your granary you can see the rough amount of food you have stored, but clicking on the granary will bring up a panel showing the actual amounts. Food stored in the granary is used to feed your peasants.  How much food you feed your peasants is up to you.  Using the popularity panel you can change the food rations handed out to your population.  Changes to your rationing directly affect your popularity and the speed with which food is taken from your granary.  If you feed your people more than one food type you will earn a popularity bonus. The granary also allows you to buy and sell food, without the need for a market.
