The Municipality is a type of settlement chain building in Fall of the Samurai.
Description[]
An easy place to become lost among the crowds.
Some cities burst beyond the confines of their walls because they are such desirable places to live. The streets may not be paved with gold, but for the people who live and work in a municipality there are opportunities to better themselves and their status in society. A municipality significantly improves the tax income of a province.

Municipalities grant a total of four construction slots. This is almost always excessive for towns that are being developed to be money-makers, as only three building chains, inns, cottage industries, and police stations, generate wealth directly or indirectly. The small increase to tax rate does not compensate for the very high cost of building municipalities in all but the richest provinces. Municipalities and their upgrades cannot be destroyed, only damaged.
While municipalities aren't highly useful for economy-focused provinces, they are powerful additions for provinces specialized to be recruitment hubs. A province with a municipality can hold a training camp, cadet school, field artillery school, and traditional dojo all at once, granting it the largest number of recruitment slots possible and potentially not just the entire roster of units available but also the stat bonuses and discounts granted by the training camp and its upgrades.
All settlement buildings are civil buildings, and therefore are affected by any events that impact the cost or construction times of civil buildings. As settlements are expensive, can be built in every province, and are highly useful, events that provide discounts or speedups to construction times can save a large amount of money.
