Samurai Dojo FOTS

The Samurai Dojo is a type of traditional military chain building in Fall of the Samurai.

Description[]

Sometimes the sword is more useful than the pen.

A samurai dojo trains young men in the traditional duties of their class. It enables the recruitment of units and agents of the traditional, Japanese kind.

Even after centuries of peace, samurai were the only class in Japanese society allowed to carry arms as a matter of duty. Indeed, they were required to wear a pair of swords precisely as a public declaration of their social class.

Despite the lack of warfare, and possibly because they had no genuine need to act like warriors, the samurai remained jealous of keeping their perquisites and privileges. There was a determination to keep their skills current, and to make sure that new generations learned them. The relentless march of the hob-nailed future that Europeans and Americans brought only made some more determined than ever to keep to the old ways.

Samurai dojos unlock Katana Kachi and Bow Kachi, giving factions that build them much more flexibility in their traditional unit rosters.

While both barracks and samurai dojos are second-tier buildings that unlock access to skirmishers, samurai dojos have the early game advantage of not having any technology requirements, unlike their modern counterparts. Focusing on economic technologies while relying on traditional armies is a very viable strategy. Samurai dojos are considered military buildings, and therefore benefit from events that reduce the construction times and costs of upgrading them.
