Tenant Fields is a type of farming building in Fall of the Samurai.
Description[]
Money can grow on trees, sometimes.
Tenant fields provide farming income, and help industry grow by providing food for the factory workers.
Tenant farmers do not work solely for themselves and their village. Instead, they pay rent on their lands, and this means that they become part of the larger, cash economy of the land. This may sound trivial, but it is important because it boosts trade activity, and gives common people a way of accumulating wealth. A subsistence farmer can never be "wealthier" than having too much food to eat; a man who sells his goods can accumulate a surplus of wealth over many harvests, and use it as he wishes. His worth is separate from his labours, and can grow independently.
General Information[]
Requires 3400 koku, 4 turns, Subsistence Farming. Can be upgraded to Commercial Farming.
- +900 to wealth generated by trade in this province
- +1 per turn to town growth from industrial buildings within this province
Farms may be built in every province. Every province has a soil quality modifier which determines the amount of wealth that is generated by farming. Provinces with more fertile soil make much more money through farming, so prioritizing upgrading them over more barren farms makes money more quickly.
Upgrading tenant fields are a relatively cheap way to increase the wealth of a region. They pay for themselves in 35/29/26/20/15 turns for Barren/Meagre/Average/Fertile/Very Fertile soil, respectively. This makes tenant fields in very fertile provinces some of the best investments in the game, though the other fertility ratings lag somewhat behind the likes of inns and cottage industries.
