The Worm Farm is a type of silk building in Fall of the Samurai.

Description[]

Heaven's grace created on a mortal loom.

Silk has always been a wondrous commodity, no matter where the cloth was traded. It can bring in a great deal of wealth to the lord who invests wisely in the enterprise, such as in this province.

From the most ancient of times silk was a symbol of power, luxury and mystery. It was so beautiful, magical and costly that only the very powerful and very wealthy could afford to wear it. Although sumptuary laws forbidding common people from wearing rich clothes had fallen out of usage in Victorian Europe, the equivalent rules and customs were still obeyed in Japan when the American squadron arrived in 1853.

General Information[]

Can be upgraded to Raw Silk Threadmaker.

  • +20 bales raw silk
  • +350 wealth

Silk is a trade resource that is required for upgrading master dojos to legendary dojos, cottage industries to silk weaving sheds, and factories to silk manufactories.

Worm farms produce a high amount of wealth for a basic building, making provinces with silk specialties good targets for conquest. This also makes capturing and upgrading worm farms a good investment even without access to trade. 

Provinces with a silk specialty include (from east to west): Sanuki, Tamba, Kii, and North Shinano.
