Square is an administration building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These can be built exclusively in province capitals. Only a single square can be built in each province.
Description[]
Long before the invention of currency, the concept of taxation already filled the coffers of Achaean rulers. The king determined taxes, then had his men levy them in the form of grains and other goods from the commoners who toiled the land. The resulting stores were essential to the survival of the ruling elite in the event of drought or siege, and as such were often considered more precious than gold; royal granaries were built from stone or brick and were often the most heavily-guarded buildings in an entire city.
