For the similar Thrones of Britannia building, see Iron Works (Thrones of Britannia).
Iron Works are a type of smith building in Fall of the Samurai.
Description[]
The smith forges many destinies, not just his own.
There are specialist blacksmiths in this province. With the right investment they can specialise in weapons, improving the traditional equipment of the samurai, or creating Japanese versions of modern, foreign weapons. In either case, the troops recruited here will benefit from their efforts.
The skills that made Japanese swords were not always easy to apply to the new machines that openness with the West brought. However, Japanese craftsmen did learn quickly and were soon making "native" modern weapons as good as anything from outside, if not in quite the same quantities.
General Information[]
Requires 4000 koku, 4 turns, blacksmith, iron resource. Can be upgraded to armourer or gunsmith.
- +10 to the accuracy of all units recruited in this province
- +2 to the armour of all units recruited in this province
Upgraded from blacksmiths, iron works double the accuracy and armour that their predecessors provide for units trained in their province. While they are quite expensive in the early game, iron works are highly valuable for improving the combat abilities of all units. They are considered military buildings, and therefore benefit from events that reduce the construction times and costs of upgrading them.
Iron works can be upgraded to armourers, which again double the armor provided to units, or gunsmiths, which further double the accuracy of units.
