The Storage Pit is a Stone Age building in Age of Empires. It is a key building for resource gathering as villagers can drop off Fish, Gold, Food, Stone and Wood. Upgrades to increase the efficiency of armor and weapons are also researched here starting from Tool Age to the Iron Age. Shield upgrades are not available for certain number of civilizations, such as the Egyptians and the Assyrians. Metallurgy is not available for Greeks and Phoenicians.
