Grain Carts are a building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These resource buildings can only be built in farming settlements.
Description[]
Given its essential role in feeding the army and the population, grain could be considered the real gold of the Late Bronze Age. Rulers around the Aegean collected wheat or barley from the farmers as a form of taxation, which they then stored in large stone or brick granaries. This shrewd practice ensured protection against famine in cases of drought, but also played a critical part in keeping the ruling elite alive in the event of a prolonged siege. For this reason, food stores were often the most heavily-guarded part of any city.
