View source for Buildings (TWS2 Fall of the Samurai)

==Overview==
In [[Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai]], Buildings are used for the recruitment of military units and also subterfuge agents and foreign veterans. They also have a range of effects, either on a clan’s economy or on the units and agents they produce. See each chain for details of how it can be used:-

====Castle Chain====
The castle is the heart of the population and public order's main controlling factor. Each level of castle building increases repression and resistance to naval bombardment. Larger castles are more difficult to assault and spawn a larger defence force of levy infantry.
