Placer Deposits are a type of gold building in Fall of the Samurai.
Description[]
Wealth is never dishonourable.
There is gold in this province and it is easily worked thanks to surface deposits. However, by investing in bigger and deeper mines, it is possible to greatly increase the wealth generated by this province. Gold is, of course, always welcome to any warlord because all wise commanders know that wars cannot be fought, let alone won, without wealth.
Gold mining is a dirty and dangerous business for the miners and surface workers. Their lives are likely to be short and brutal, and woe betide anyone who even thinks about stealing the wealth lying all around!
General Information[]
Requires 5800 koku, 8 turns, Placer Deposits. Can be upgraded to Mint or Ore Processing Plant.
- +1400 wealth
Goldfields give a boost to region wealth (the largest initial boost of any second-tier building), making regions with them valuable targets to capture. As an investment option, however, they are a very expensive building type that doesn't increase wealth that much.
Unlike some other resources, gold is not considered a resource for trade, and simply generates wealth. Regions with gold include (from east to west): Tsushima, Iwami, Sado, and Izu.
