Summary

• Silos hold the food you produce. Keep your silos well protected from invading armies. Upgrade them to increase your food storage capacity.
• If your available loot is x and the number of silos you have is n, then typically around 0.6 * x / ( n + 1 ) is the loot per silo. So for available loot of 20,000 and you have 4 silos, then the loot would be 20000 * 0.6 / 5 = 2400. 2400 for each silo and 2400 for all farms combined. This typically holds true if all silos have the same level.

Offensive Strategy

• If you are looking for Food, you should attack this building.

Defensive Strategy

• Silos should be protected by defensive structures, as they are valuable targets for invaders.
• It is wise to have them behind walls instead of outside them.
• Powerful structures like the Catapult Emplacement make good traps to lure enemies.
