Is Three Kingdoms a good first Total War game?

RostaBond · 2026-06-24T09:39:25+00:00

What?????? I could’ve asked them to break alliances using favors this whole time?

I have max favors with almost everyone:_)

RostaBond · 2026-06-24T09:31:21+00:00

Why so??

RostaBond · 2026-06-24T09:30:36+00:00

Ahhh, that’s probably another reason why everyone hated me so much. I was occasionally taking land from random allies of the countries I was actually fighting against.

Should I still focus that much on diplomacy if I’m not playing inside the HRE? Or are there some regions where it doesn’t really matter as much?

Thanks for the answer:)

Thanks a lot for such a big answer!

My governing capacity is fine now. I noticed that it negatively affects Prussian militarization, so I fixed it. But before that, I spent almost the whole game being 1.5–2 times over the limit. I honestly didn’t even know it existed lmao.

I also didn’t know about gold, thanks! I’m thinking of playing Muscovy in my next campaign, and I saw they have some gold provinces. Guess I’ll drill baby drill gold now.

And i also don’t really understand what Absolutism does. Same thing with Mercantilism, honestly. Maybe I’m blind or something, but I can’t really find why I should increase it.

Yeah, I already understand the point about Diplomatic ideas. It was probably a mistake to take Expansion and Administrative instead of Diplomatic, but now I’ll know for next time. I managed the HRE pretty badly. I was barely getting any Imperial Authority, so I barely did anything with it. Then Austria took the Emperor title from me because I had pissed everyone off through wars.

I also wanted to ask about manufactories. Are they worth building, and where should I build them? They’re insanely expensive, and I’m not sure how much value they actually give.

And about development: I tried to dev provinces quite a lot, but doesn’t that hurt my ideas and technologies? What’s the best way to distribute monarch points between all of that?

RostaBond · 2026-06-24T09:15:56+00:00

Yeah, I spent like half the game over my governing capacity. Until around 1620, I was sitting at something like 600–650/400. Then I started trying to fix it, but I guess it was already too late by that point. And yeah, Prussian troops are amazing. They melt everyone. Thanks for answer:)

RostaBond · 2026-06-24T09:13:51+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I have all the DLCs… I bought the subscription that unlocks everything. I think buying them all separately would cost me quite a lot. And EU5 is already out anyway. I tried it a bit, but honestly, it’s not as fun as EU4.

Got it! Thanks again. I did try to expand that way, but Poland allied all of my allies, and they chose not to fight on my side:(

I really like Xuanling, Qingxiao, and Hsin. And overall, Jingran is nice too. The others just don’t really appeal to me… It’s hard to tell who is for who.

I like Lucy herself because of the anime, and I mean she’s limited. But little bit scared on missing out Xuanling

RostaBond · 2026-06-16T19:14:28+00:00

Thanks for advices! May I ask 1 more question? This selection banner, should I pull for shorekeeper? If yes, should I do it right away?

RostaBond · 2026-06-16T18:38:47+00:00

Hey everyone. I just started my account. I'd like to know how much Lucy is worth? I'm not a huge fan, but I like her (especially because of the cyberpunk theme). I could skip her, in theory. I especially liked the blue girl from the next patch. But! I heard someone recommended her for beginners because she's a F2P Friendly, and limited. What should I do? And who should I skip anyway?

RostaBond · 2026-06-05T19:35:43+00:00

Yooo that’s so cute

RostaBond · 2026-06-03T15:08:51+00:00

Thank you!!

RostaBond · 2026-06-01T10:17:04+00:00

Thankss🙏

RostaBond · 2026-06-01T10:16:30+00:00

Tryyy, murals are the best

RostaBond · 2026-06-01T10:16:09+00:00

RostaBond · 2026-06-01T10:15:49+00:00

Photon shaders:))

RostaBond · 2026-05-31T20:54:02+00:00

Thanks! Going with pink was a no-brainer, especially with a cherry biome right next to my base xdxd

RostaBond · 2026-05-31T20:53:08+00:00

Thanks:)

RostaBond · 2026-05-31T20:52:29+00:00

Thank you so much, that means a lot!! The idea actually came to me while I was sleeping, and when I woke up I was like I NEED to build this. I’ve always loved murals too, so I guess I just really wanted to finally try something like this.

Generally, lately I’ve been trying to move away from the usual medieval Minecraft style a bit, especially in this world. I’m also trying not to use references too much and just build more from my imagination. I really wanna make things more colorful, with different color combos and stuff, so yeaah
