Shinsengumi Headquarters are a type of propaganda chain building in Fall of the Samurai.
Description[]
Sometimes the wolf at the door is within.
Given the dangerous nature of the men of the shinsengumi, their headquarters unsurprisingly increases repression. Unsurprisingly, the quality of shinsengumi agents recruited here is improved.
The shinsengumi, the "newly chosen squad" were a police force recruited by the Shogunate to keep order in Edo. "Recruited" in this context is a slightly formal term for what was, in fact, the recognition that a group of former ronin were keeping their own brand of order on the streets while professing loyalty to the Tokugawa Shogunate. They did not treat people with different loyalties with any great respect or courtesy. They also acted as little better than some of the armed groups of "loyalists" (to various causes and ideas) they claimed to be keeping in order. However, they were effective at making sure the Shogun's rivals did not have a chance to say very much!

Shinsengumi headquarters are the final tier of propaganda building in Fall of the Samurai, granting a large boost to public order and the largest rate of spread of influence possible. Unlike their imperial and independent counterparts, Shinsengumi headquarters also unlock a unit: the Shinsengumi Police Force, a hybrid line infantry/melee infantry unit.
