What buildings do you guys like?
The village line most benefits you to own in your own demesne. OTOH I want a lvl3 castle or at least a lvl1 castle in every province in my clan as they increase the size of your levies. Beyond lvl 3 castles they don't seem to add that mutch.
It helps to focus your building on two provinces and then swap out your existing undeveloped provinces for new ones that you capture. Although i build a lvl 1 castle in all my starting provinces before I give them to a vassal.
In the long run I want lvl 3 castle and as developed villages as possible in my provinces.
For Guilds you want 1 of the boost buildings for every 4 units you have of that type to get the maximum bonus. Having a theatre in every province allows you to own 6 provinces. This is almost certainly the best choice. You lose 2 guilds overall (you have to build 6 theaters but you gain 4 guilds from the new province). However you get an extra 4 retinue units from the upgraded village of the 6th province. As such one of those extra guilds has to be a barracks to ballance this out. The other one may need to be a theatre if you want to recruit ninjas, in that case going 6 provinces is always better. So you are comparing the extra income of a 6th province, plus the ablity to focus more heavily on one troop type (6 pairs of cavalry buildings vs maximum of 5 pairs for example) vs 1 extra guild.
What tips/strategies do you guys have?
