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.

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.

2.1 - 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. 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.
