Buddhist Shrine FOTS

The Buddhist Shrine is a type of holy site building in Fall of the Samurai.

Description[]

When the spirits move them, mortal men can achieve the miraculous.

This province has a site of religious significance. By developing this site, the spirits of troops recruited here are raised, and their devotion to the old ideals of duty, courage and honour are reinforced. A shrine is not just important because of a building, but because of the place's spirit. People will always appreciate the beauty of the buildings around a shrine, but it is the fundamental sanctity of the place that is important. As long as the kami are respected and honoured, the shrine remains a source of spiritual strength. Many shrines in Japan are now historical monuments as well as revered religious sites, and this means that many have been listed as World Heritage Sites.

General Information[]

Requires 500 koku. Can be upgraded to Buddhist Temple.

  • +5 charge bonus for all units recruited in this province
  • -5% recruitment cost of traditional units in this province
  • -1 modernisation

Provinces with buddhist shrines provide a significant charge bonus to all units trained there, making such provinces very useful for training melee-oriented units. This is aided by the discount they also provide for training traditional units (most of which are melee units).

The effects of buddhist shrines stack with those of training camps and their upgrades, creating units that are both significantly cheaper and also superior in combat.

Controlling and upgrading holy site buildings reduces modernisation, keeping development levels low and retaining bonuses associated with training traditional units.

Provinces with a holy site specialty are, from east to west, Uzen, Yamato, and Izumo.
