When your village is attacked or raided, protecting your resources becomes important. A Cranny helps safeguard part of your stored resources from being stolen. It is recommended to build a Cranny before your Beginners Protection ends and to upgrade it so it covers the amount of resources you normally hold, especially resources accumulated overnight.
At level 1, a Cranny hides 200 of each resource (or 300 for Gauls).
At level 10, it hides 2000 (or 3000 for Gauls).
After upgrading a Cranny to level 10, you can build additional Crannies in the same village. There is no limit to how many you can add.
Crannies are hidden structures and cannot be targeted directly by catapults. They can only be destroyed if an attacker targets a random building, which may hit the Cranny by chance.
If a Teuton hero accompanies raiding troops, the Cranny in the target village protects only 80% of its usual capacity.
Gauls hide 1.5 times more resources in their Crannies compared to other tribes.
Resources stored in the hero’s inventory cannot be raided.
Resources placed for sale in the Marketplace can be raided until merchants leave to complete the trade.
The Bag of Plunder hero item increases the amount of resources that can be raided from any village.
In the table below you can find the construction costs and time, as well as the capacity on each level of the cranny.
