Per capita consumption of electricity is comparable to that for most industrialized countries, but that for oil and natural gas is considerably lower. The rate of JapanвЂ™s consumption of energy leveled off in the mid-1990s, after having increased steadily for decades. Natural gas also is produced in Chiba and Fukushima prefectures. Virtually the whole of the countryвЂ™s output of petroleum and natural gas comes from Niigata prefecture. Most of the remaining production is in Hokkaido. The coal industry suffers from uneconomic production, competition from cheaper foreign coal, and the general use of oil since World War II. Nobuyuki Tanaka/Orion Press, TokyoД¬oal, the most important mineral mined throughout most of JapanвЂ™s industrial period, is now extracted as a marginal operation. Mine waste remaining from a defunct mine at the ChikuhЕЌ Coalfield, Iizuka, Fukuoka prefecture, northern Kyushu, Japan. Limestone quarrying is widespread throughout the Japanese archipelago. Other metallic ores of economic significance include silver, lead, and zinc. Mining for iron and copper essentially ceased after 2000, and Japan now imports virtually all its needs for those two ores. With the exception of gold extraction, mining for metallic ores plummeted in the early 21st century. The extractive industry is characterized by small and relatively inefficient mines that do not lend themselves to the application of modern, large-scale mining methods. Mining is an unimportant and declining branch of the economy. Reserves of copper, once JapanвЂ™s most important metallic ore, are nearly depleted lead and zinc are often found in conjunction with copper. Japanese iron ore is of poor quality and is obtained mostly from northern and western Honshu. Natural gas reserves also have been found in eastern Chiba prefecture and offshore east of TЕЌhoku. The main oil- and gas-bearing belt extends from northern Honshu on the Sea of Japan to the Ishikari-YЕ«futsu lowlands in Hokkaido. Oil deposits are meagre, domestic oil production accounting for a negligible fraction of JapanвЂ™s oil consumption. Imperial Press/FPGД¬oal reserves are concentrated in Hokkaido and Kyushu.

Building types might include a farm, iron mine or an abbey.Д¬A says the system is a cross between Shogun 2 and Rome 2 with resource building outside of the main settlement but like Rome 2В allows for minor settlements to be controlled independently. The types of buildings in each settlement will be determined will be pre-defined and based on the land characteristics around it. Minor settlements will have no walls and one or two building slots. Province capitals are walled and have six building slots as well as garrisons while minor settlements do not. CA has been working withВ Dr Neil McGuigan from the University of St Andrews to create the most historically accurate depiction of the time. The game has also proved challenging historically as there is no direct chronicleВ from Northern Britain or Scotland for the era the game covers. To give you an idea of the gameвЂ™s scale, the Total War Saga вЂ“ Thrones of Britannia map is 23 times larger than the map in Attila. Creative Assembly has revealed more details of Total War Saga вЂ“ Thrones of Britannia specifically looking at the gameвЂ™s map size.
