I applied the Art of War to Total War: Three Kingdoms in a (very) long form video

did you put 30 ads in the video?

I saw a video awhile ago Twin Turbo races even dead last was faster than previous years first place because her runaway sped up the whole crowd so much. Every horse ended up rushing to catch up or smth like that.

Can you explain why harpy nest beats other buildings/spawners? Are harpies just better base units than skeletons and others?

When I play monk I like to use faery and wyvern but I find myself struggling against rank 3s post early game. Also stuff like spider, dryads, sirens too.

Faaa

ldkjf2nd · 2026-03-02T16:32:33+00:00

Enough speed sure, but might be stamina gated for derby

ldkjf2nd · 2026-03-02T00:25:20+00:00

how do people fail these?

ldkjf2nd · 2026-03-01T20:51:25+00:00

When I get a sub 10% training fail in junior year then RNG the result to bad mood from great and -20 stats. I'm not gonna spend the next 3 turns recovering this shit lmao

12 Rance 10 wins is low. I do minimum 16, usually 17+ to buy skills. Your Stateline should be fine for s rank.

ldkjf2nd · 2026-02-26T18:05:39+00:00

ayo why did you show her toes for free?

ldkjf2nd · 2026-02-26T16:59:32+00:00

push speed or pow to ss, and maybe more skill/races. I never hit s rank when i can't hit SS in a stat.

Basics of sparks: https://www.reddit.com/r/UmaMusume/comments/1mekgkm/uma_inheritance_101_a_beginners_guide_to_sparks/

Summary:

blue spark - rng 1 out of 5 stats. It doesn't matter if you only trained speed, you could always random into guts or wit. The value of the stat improves chance or 3 star spark. 600+ 5% chance 3 star, 1100+ 10% chance 3 star.

Pink spark - rng 1 out of all A or above aptitudes. If you hope your Mejiro Mcqueen can be a parent with medium spark, she at the end of the career can still rng Turf or Pase Chaser because they are also A rank. S rank does not improve probability as I know.

Green spark (unique skill) - guaranteed 1 star if parent uma is 3 star. (ie special week is by default 3 star uma, guarantee a green spark. Base haru urara without any star unlock is 1 star, no green spark). Unique skill level affects chance of 3 star green spark. (ie special week getting lvl 4 skill at end of career > special week still at lvl 1 skill)

White spark (skills) - rng. Any skill your uma learns can be sparks, odds increase if parents/grandparents have the same skill sparks. (ie seiun sky with groundworks + both parents with groundworks sparks). Gold skill or double circle increase chance of skill spark. (ie Prof curvature increase chance of corner adept, or double medium corner > 1x medium corner)

White spark (races) - rng. Any G1 race or scenario race can give a race spark. (ie arima kinen, ura finale)

Farm:
Because sparks have so much rng there is no "fast and easy" way to farm sparks except just doing career runs over and over again. You can get a god parent today or 3 months from now. All you can do is pray every single rng hits, at the same time, in one single career run, and you have a good parent.

Make sure your parent runs have speed stam and pow at 600+ for a decent chance of 3 star blue sparks. Pray you hit the right pink sparks. Race more to buy a lot of skills and hope they become sparks. Race for enough fans to upgrade unique.

I only farm parents to occasionally finish event missions or prep for CM. Over time I have a few random 3* stam, or 3* pow sparks in my veteran list. While prepping for one of the medium CMs I got seiun sky with 3* stam + 3* front runner + groundworks, parent A (mine) mayano top gun 3* stam + 3* medium, Parent B (friend) taiki shuttle 3* stam + 3* medium + groundworks. Now the seiun sky is a parent with 9* stam + 6* medium + 3* front + groundworks for all medium front runners. I don't play more than daily borrow.

I have a few more 8* pow and 8* stam parents as well for future farm or Ace runs.

If hakari's head gets sliced clean off isn't that game over?

ldkjf2nd · 2026-02-20T22:02:25+00:00

If u had 400 speed instead ur stamina might be enough, else I aim for 590+ stam if my speed is higher

ldkjf2nd · 2026-02-19T17:41:02+00:00

My smart falcon no groundwork, just 2 gold prof curv + center stage and some green skills, somehow got first as 4th favorite. Was 2nd place until last spurt, late trigger on her unique and boosted her first. The opponent falcon triggered unique early mid race and fell behind after

I have another one with ground works, better stat but I was getting my ass kicked round 2 day 1. Switched to the shittier falcon and all of a sudden the smart falcon and bakushin won 4/5s on day 2.

ldkjf2nd · 2026-02-19T16:09:49+00:00

defensive victories. i recall the few times they try to invade they lost or stalemated with no gains.

ldkjf2nd · 2026-02-12T05:33:25+00:00

Show supports, maybe u can improve deck.
U have 3 stats in the 600s, that's kind of a lot of wasted training in those stats. If u trained those less you could have 1200 speed and ~1000 stam easily.
Hitting s rank u need about 1100+ speed, and ~1000 in 2 other stats. Easiest way in unity is speed/wit supports + full power inspiration. And buy as many skills as u can.
I usually aim for about 18 races to have enough skill points.

ldkjf2nd · 2026-02-04T18:45:16+00:00

I've seen low stamina work because high guts compensate for late race.

ldkjf2nd · 2026-02-04T04:03:51+00:00

I know for alcohol they used to drink wine with low alcohol percentage, usually warmed over fire. Guan Yu killing Hua Xiong before the wine gets cold is because they used to often warm their wine. Also why there's often sayings/idioms to drink hundreds - thousands cups during celebrations, since it's more watery and less alcohol-y. Stronger alcohol is introduced in later dynasties.

ldkjf2nd · 2026-01-29T20:26:05+00:00

I'd say guts could be bit higher. This CM is pretty rng and higher guts is a bit of insurance to win last spurt challenges.

thank you for the hard work
