Ea-nasir, the perpetually harried and notoriously unreliable copper merchant of Uruk (1750 BCE), has just had the most unbelievably disastrous day of his life. After being badgered by angry customers and dodging demands for actual quality copper, he stumbled upon a magical tablet during Gilgamesh's legendary battle with the Bull of Heaven. Now, instead of his cluttered counting house, he finds himself disoriented and bewildered amidst the crumbling ruins of a world five centuries removed fro…
TWP x Fanfic: PHARAOH: Total Genderbend Trailer
Ea-nasir accidentally travels to the Late Bronze Age collapse to meet the opposite-gendered peeps. In addition to Mesopotamian RPF (including The Epic of Gilgamesh), the fanfic mainly spoofs Total War: Pharaoh and also refers other fandoms such as Rome: Total War & Total War: Rome Remastered (featuring War Elephants), SMITE (Gilgamesh, Ishtar), and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (featuring Hong Jing), as well as events (amidst the Battle of Djahy) such as the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Inspired by Hetalia Season 5 (Hetalia: The Beautiful World) - "I Was Overwhelmed by Heroines"
Ea-Nasir is sleeping when he is woken up by a shadow of "Paris of Troy," who claims he has fallen asleep during their speech. He soon finds out that all the figures of the late Bronze Age have turned into the opposite-gendered peeps, which terrifies him.
Ea Nasir's Strange Awakening
Ea-Nasir sleeps in the empty King of the Universe court hall, his head resting on the table. A hedonistic voice calls Ea-Nasir to wake up as an apple taps against the table. Waking up, Ea-Nasir raises his head to the bright light above the royal court hall, forming the silhouette of "Paris of Troy", and obscuring his face in shadow. H…
TWP x Fanfic: Tarot Stories - Overture
Hugely inspired by tarot, Total War Pharaoh is set in the late Bronze Age era, focusing on the turbulent time during the 19th dynasty of Ancient Egypt following the death of Pharaoh Merneptah and the civil war that followed.

TWP x Fanfic: The Great Bronze Age Race
- 1 Synopsis
- 2 Text
- 3 Notes

Inspired by an ancient Chinese folktale.
Merneptah (as the Jade Emperor) announces the great zodiac race, in which the years on the calendar are named for each animal-associated warlord in the order they reach the Emperor. To get there, the warlords have to cross the River Nile. What if all historical characters were immortals?
A long time ago, the Jade Emperor Merneptah decided there should be a way of measuring time. On his birthday, he told the warlords that there was to be a boat race. The first twelve animal warlords across the fast-flowing River Nile would each have a year of the Eastern zodiac named after them.
Meanwhile, in Adad's palace:
- "Lord Adad! There is news from the Jade Emperor Merneptah.", Ea-nasir sha…
TWP Campaign Customisation
Looking for a helping hand? Or the ultimate challenge? Campaign Customisation gives you the freedom to play however you like.
It was the 18th US President Ulysses S. Grant who famously said that “War never changes”. But that’s not quite the case in Total War: PHARAOH.
That’s because when fighting for the mantle of Pharaoh, no two battles need ever be the same. Do you think you’d be getting a fairer crack of the whip if you had more resources? Or if the AI had different personalities? Or if your starting positions had been different? With Total War: PHARAOH’s Campaign Customisation features, all of these elements and more are yours to dictate.
We reached out to some of your favourite Total War creators to see how they would change their campaigns…

The Kamakura's starting position is not as immediately lucrative as that of either of the Taira factions, and it's not as geographically secure in the mid-long term as the Fujiwara. Its clan bonuses are mostly not applicable to the very early game, either.
The clan's family tree is strong, with a young daimyo, young brothers, and more kids on the way. Its starting position can be rapidly improved thanks to many of the nearby allies being Minamoto-aligned. Its sister clan, the Kiso Minamoto, is a very strong northern (and, if lucky, western) buffer against the western half of Japan, leaving the Kamakura free to focus on the n…

Why Korean romanisation should be automatically generated
Since I attempted to fix the incorrect ko-rm and ko-rm/doc , but I failed to do so because of missing module.
The usage of Korean is much more limited than Chinese and Russian, but can be following applications:
- The Korean part of Other Language sections
- The names of Korean voice actors (including Choi Han voicing Liu Bei and Lee Gyu-chang voicing Cao Cao from Total War: Three Kingdoms)
- Trivia sections or Lore pages for explaining etymology

Best Commandery builds TW3K
This is a cheat-sheet extension of my more detailed thoughts on economy in TW3K. I am taking notes from Serious Trivia as well as this wiki's own Md143rbh7f; thank you for your detailed analyses!
Buildings synergize heavily with each other. Therefore, they should be built together whenever possible. Building a small city grants three building slots while minimizing food usage, and all counties should be leveled to at least a small city if funds allow it.
- 1 Food
- 2 Peasantry Income
- 3 Commerce Income
- 4 Industry Income
- 5 Utility
This build focuses on making food, and nothing else. It will make a little money but that's not its main purpose. Food can be traded and increases imperial favor. Commanderies that have farmland, fishing wharves, and livestock far…
Economy Total War Three Kingdoms thoughts
I am basing the notes here heavily on Serious Trivia's Youtube playlist titled "A Better Commandery Guide". This post is a place for me to collect my thoughts on building chains and how to best use them.
In contrast to older TW games, TW3K has so many penalties and discounts to building that trying to make a list of worst to best profitability based on turns needed for a return on investment (which I did for NTW, ROTS and FOTS) is near-impossible. Nor would it be very useful, because most factions only start with a small amount of land, and for the most part all counties can only upgrade one building at a time, so the amount of things you can spend your money to make stuff for is very limited. Instead, it is better to focus on what all comm…
Impressions and Questions for Three Kingdoms
Three Kingdoms is certainly a beautiful game to look at. But I was completely overwhelmed by the options, the reading, and also the lack of concise guides. The best Youtuber I could find about the topic, Serious Trivia, has a "beginner playlist" that is literally over 24 hours (Edit: 58 HOURS) long!
Compared to NTW or Shogun, this feels more like a DnD campaign than a strategy computer game. I feel paralyzed by indecision. It took Serious Trivia well over 10 minutes after starting a campaign before he even fought his first battle.

Theorycrafting co-op Saga Satsuma
A properly planned co-op between the Saga and Satsuma sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
As the faction with the industry bonus and the richest lands, Saga should initially focus on economy techs, switching to naval if necessary. Satsuma, with its home province being a recruitment hub, focuses on land military techs.
Saga artillery are nominally better but it's not really worth it. Armstrong guns are very strong for all factions, bonus or not.
After both build up their basic economy, Satsuma should gun for infantry while Saga builds ships.
Conquer Kyushu and the surrounding islands first. Satsuma should take the eastern side (Hyuga, Buzen, Bungo), while Saga takes the rest (Goto, Tsushima, Higo, Hizen, Tsukushi). This gives all the richest …

A Total War Saga: TROY - Patch 1.7.0
The 1.7.0 update is the next major update for A Total War Saga: TROY, arriving alongside the Rhesus & Memnon DLC and Governance & Strategy FLC. This patch fixes a number of issues raised by the community and introduces multiple improvements in diplomacy, missions and dilemmas, battles and more. Highlights of the 1.7.0 patch and FLC include:
Patch:
- Reduced the number of barters the AI requests from the player on End Turn
- The Amazon Champions chariot unit has been re-balanced (it was too strong)
- Reduced the requirements for most Anax missions and buffed their rewards (Anax traits now all provide gold per turn)
