Buildings (TW3K)
From TWC Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe sortable table below gives details of the main effects and requirements of buildings in Total War: Three Kingdoms. The cost per turn, number of build turns and initial cost can all be altered by character or faction generated effects, assignments and administrators.
The values for the reduction of cost for other building chains are not given here, they are standardised at -10% for levels 1-4 and -15% for level 5. Please refer to the building chains page to see which chains make which other buildings cheaper to construct.
Unlike earlier Total War games, specific buildings are not directly required to unlock unit recruitment, however, buildings may be required to unlock reform paths which are required to unlock units.
Unless otherwise noted all effects apply to local commadery only, and retinue/army recruited or located in local commandery.
- Faction wide effects are noted with F-W.
- Adjacent commandery effects are noted with A-C.
