1.0 - Building Basics
=====================
When you are building, pay attention to how much space is available within
the square of land you have chosen. If there are too many obstacles (trees,
roads, water, castle walls) you won't be able to build the maximum 16
structures within your facility. Don't worry if there are a few obstacles.
Each facility can build at most 1 large structure, leaving ample space for
15 smaller structures in most squares of land.
Since Building Conditions are based on a combination of land suitability
and facility compatibility, if you build a compatible facility near a land
square which only has fair (green) compatibility, it will usually turn that
land square into good (blue) compatibility for that facility. This can be
useful for chaining compatible facilities next to eachother.
If structures are built on poor land, they will take longer to build.
This has no effect on how many structures an officer will construct with
a single development command. Rather it can effect how long after the
development command the structure is actually completed. While a structure
is being built you don't get anything out of it and its hit points are
halved (at least).
The structures built when you develop a facility are random. Facility
compatibility and fief stats and officer POL skill can all help influence
what is built. If you want to build the large structures (which you should),
make sure adjacent facilities are compatible and your using your most skilled
officer.
---------------------
1.1 - Speed Modifiers
---------------------
The following chart lists modifiers which will decrease the base build time.
Base build times are listed in the Facilities section.
Requirement Effect
-------------------------------
Fair Building Conditions -1
Good Building Conditions -2
20 - 59 politics -1
60 - 99 politics -2
100+ politics -3
------------------
1.2 - Productivity
------------------
The following chart lists how many structures an officer can build with a
single develop command based on his political skill. This number applies
for both developing existing facilities and building new ones. When an
officer with greater then 79 politics develops a facility, development will
usually continue for two seasons. That officer can still take an action in
that second season. Note, building a big building like a Dojo counts twice
against the number of structures built for the officer.
Politics # Structures
-----------------------------
0 - 39 1
40 - 79 2
80 - 119 3 (development will continue for two seasons)
120+ 4 (development will continue for two seasons)
================
2.0 - Structures
================
In order to build a facility you must have an adequate Daimyö ranking and
access to a key fief. Key fiefs start off with the ability to construct
certain facilities regardless of your Daimyö ranking. For instance, if you
own Teraike Castle you can build a Complex at Teraike Castle even as a Minor
Daimyö. However you won't be able to build Complexes at any of your other
fiefs until you have become a Conqueror. If you have reached the required
Daimyö ranking and don't own a key fief you can still build the structure as
long as you enter into an alliance or vassal relationship with a Daimyö who
owns a key fief for that facility. Be warned if the relationship goes south
or you lose the key fief you won't be able to further develop any facilities
of that type until you regain access to a key fief. Its worthwhile to note
that all the key fiefs for smiths and colonies are in the west. So if you
are an eastern Daimyö, get your diplomats out west.

2.1 - Facilities
----------------
Below is a breakdown of the specifics for each facility. Note that only one
L(large) size building can be built per facility. When a building name differs
in game from in the manual the manual name is included inside parenthesis. Each
breakdown uses the following format.

2.2 - Castles
-------------
If you ever find yourself in Japan, I highly recommend swinging by Himeji-Jo.
Its one of the few castles from Nobunaga's time that has survived through all
the years (not rebuild like Osaka Castle), and its in pristine condition. Its
an amazing sight to see and you can even climb all the way up to the top and
look out at the boundaries of the fief. Its completely open for tourists to
paw over :-)
Below is a listing of Castle structures and the requirements to build them.
Castle structures are built automatically once you meet the specified
requirements.
Structure Name Hit Points Requirements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keeps ->
Hall 1400 none
Mansion 1800 100 Foreign
White 3-Story Keep 2600 200 Foreign, Culture > Foreign
Black 3-Story Keep 2600 200 Foreign, Foreign > Culture
White 4-Story Keep 3000 300 Foreign, from White 3-Story Keep
Black 4-Story Keep 3000 300 Foreign, from Black 3-Story Keep
Himeji Main Keep 3400 500 Foreign, from White 4-Story Keep
Kumamoto Main Keep 3400 500 Foreign, from Black 4-Story Keep
Azuchi Main Keep 3600 700 Foreign, must be home base
Osaka Main Keep 3800 800 Foreign, must be home base
Foreign(Western) Main Keep 4000 900 Foreign, must be home base
Gates ->
Railing 2000 none

Tower Gate 3000 500 Culture
Iron Gate 3400 800 Culture
Walls ->
Barricade 1400 none
Fence 2000 300 Culture
Wall 2400 500 Culture
Towers ->
Small Tower 1800 none
Tower 2200 20000 Commerce
Great Tower 2600 30000 Commerce
Keep 3000 40000 Commerce
Others ->
Ditch 10000 Commerce
Sloped Stone Wall 3000 20000 Commerce
Moat 30000 Commerce
Tiers ->
Single tiered none
Double tiered 10000 Agriculture
Triple tiered* 30000 Agriculture
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*some castles can not be upgraded to three tiers.
If you want to build multiple keeps of Azuchi on up, you just have to keep
re-declaring once per turn for each fief you want to upgrade. You can jump
directly from Himeji to Foreign Main Keep if you have at least 900 Foreign when
you declare.
(Keep Placement Suggestion)
Although you can move your main fief around as much as you want, it costs
20,000 gold each time you do it. You will want to choose a stable location at
some point. The in game text suggests that you build in a fief which has a
port, because then you can build Bazaars which are helpful for getting the
foreign rating you need for higher level castles. However, colonies work fine
for getting your foreign rating up, and if you think about it, what is the
main bonus of you main keep? Being able to attack anywhere from it. So
wouldn't it be better to have you best military generals in your main keep? I
always turn one of my fiefs with a hunting ground into a military academy. There
are plenty of officers in the game with good military skill and not much else.
Unless you want to spend time training them in other attributes so they can
become mediocre civil officers, wouldn't it be better to train them to be the
uber officers who do battle from your main keep? This is why I suggest placing
your main keep in a fief with hunting grounds, and running a military academy
at your main fief.
